Things I have done so far in 2009:

• catch a cold
  
• slip and fall on my Mum's stairs (I now have a bruised bum) - which I also did two years ago (on a different set of stairs) which I guess makes this a very not fun tradition.
  
• shovel snow! (I am convinced that it has snowed the past few morning simply because my Mum mentioned that "It's not supposed to snow while you're here."
  
• many, many crossword puzzles in the Bellingham Herald
  
• Ate the best yam chips ever at the little cafe in downtown Fairhaven.

All in all, not so bad. I head back home tomorrow which I am a little bit sad about but also a little bit glad. I really miss the cat.

Oh, and the boyfriend too.
