Where I’ve Been

By Amanda – Posted on

Hello friends,

It feels like I’m emerging from a void or the “upside-down” with this blog post. It’s been a very long time since I’ve written here. I have some interesting updates that explain where I’ve been all this time.

My 2018 had a very slow start but has become a life-changing year. I began 2018 focused on applying to jobs and updating this website, all while working a part-time retail job. Finally, 80 job applications later, I got an opportunity to start my career in environmental management with an amazing two-year internship! I got news about my placement in June, and by July I had moved to a new city and started my job.  

I now live in Peterborough, Ontario. It’s a small, growing city with lots of character. Callie made it to Peterborough too, and together we’ve been getting settled in our new home. If anything, she’s adjusted much better than me. I still wake up confused sometimes, unable to tell whether I’m in Vancouver, Ottawa or Peterborough. Funny how it feels like it took forever to get to this point, yet my body still hasn’t adjusted to the new reality. 

My new city is beautiful in a small city way. The neighborhoods are lined with big, old trees, and the houses here have colonial style (think archways, columns, and bedroom attics). I’m still adjusting to all my new routines, but I’ve been loving going to work. It’s rewarding to be able to use the knowledge and skills that I’ve spent so long developing. All I wanted while working retail was to be intellectually challenged. I won’t take that for granted now.  

Well, that’s my update. Now that things have settled down, I hope to write here more frequently. Stay tuned for more updates on “Callie and Amanda’s Grand Adventure” haha. 

I hope you’ve all been well too!

    practice a little something from their websites.

  16. In modern uncertain society, safeguarding your precious items is paramount to ensure a sense of security. A primary a highly effective ways to protect your belongings is by putting resources in a premium safe. From crucial documents to precious jewelry, a safe provides a protected storage solution for items of significant value.

    One of a critical aspect to think about when purchasing a safe is its level of security. High-security safes are equipped with advanced locking mechanisms, such as fingerprint scanners or digital keypads, to discourage unauthorized access. Additionally, the construction of the safe plays a critical role in its security features. Look for safes made from durable materials like metal or titanium, which offer resistance against manipulation and break-ins.

    Regular maintenance of your safe is also essential to ensure its continued effectiveness.

It’s also crucial to keep the interior of the safe clean and unobstructed from dust and debris, as this can affect its performance over time.

    Furthermore, think about the placement of your safe within your home or business. Opt for a location that is undetectable yet easily accessible for authorized users. Avoid placing the safe in areas prone to water damage or severe climate, as this can harm its contents.

    In conclusion, owning a safe is not just about having a secure place to store your valuables; it’s about taking proactive steps to protect what matters most to you. By putting resources in a high-quality safe and properly maintaining it, you can ensure the safety and security of your belongings for the long term.
