I have a new doctor! FameThrowa found her for me, by tirelessly hounding the doctors who work at her clinic until she found someone who couldn’t take it anymore. Thank you so much! I met with her this morning and she is rockin’ awesome. All is right with the world!

While I was there I heard the receptionist ask a lady if she had ever lived in Quebec. Only she pronounced it quite literally, like “Cue-beck,” something I’d never heard before. I used to say “Kwa-beck” when I was younger but now that I live in Ottawa I tend to say “Kay-beck” with a French flair.

And speaking of Quebec, I voted this morning and there was no Bloc candidate in my riding, so I’m not sure why they get “national party” status and the Green Party, who has a candidate in every riding, does not. But more surprising than the absence of a Bloc candidate was the presence of a “Marijuana Party” candidate (ha ha!), and a “PC Party” candidate, neither of which I’ve ever heard. It’s too late now for them to win my vote, but curious internet research beckons!
