You didn’t miss much, holy crap I crashed hard, zombie me and all that. Still, not till a week ago was I 100% back to myself I can’t believe how long it took. I won’t keep going when I get home from an event again, and I’ve decided to save our hockey gold episode to be released on Canada Day.
I have so much to tell you! All in good time, I’m trying out a slower-and-steadier-pace thing. It was really great to live like a normal person there, not documenting, no list in the back of my head everyday.
Grandma’s doing well, thanks kindly for the get-better wishes. And if you have a couple minutes this week you could maybe call the oldest person you know to say hi, they’d like that. I know sometimes they talk too slow and stuff, but maybe they’ll surprise you too.
About the state of my show:
I’m very very glad I waited as long as I did to pick it up again because it’s genuinely fun again – blogging, producing videos… it wasn’t at all fun there for a while. I completly shut it all down eh, like, for the first time in 6 weeks I scrolled to the bottom of my blog, was slow on email, slow at everything online.
I was often asked, “is this the end of The Canadian Explorer” but not at all, opposite. I kept the back-end going since I got home just not the front end, the stuff you see (videos and blog). And if ever you wanted to cross your fingers for me it’s now.
For the past two weeks I’ve been building this secret project, including 15 videos, some photos. If everything goes awesome you’ll be able to see it one day soon. Sorry for the shroud of mystery but I must, plus you know how jinxy I am.
Most importantly now, thank you for the comments, emails and messages while I was gone; I didn’t realize that many of you cared for real; I was touched.

Canada is one of the few places where the moon comes out during the day.
This footage was weird to edit.

Hello from olden times.
First, sorry you came and there’s nothing new. To be honest, I’m still burnt out. The Olympics took a lot out of me, and I’m still not back to normal. I feel retarded saying that. I’m the girl that _always_ bounces back! Not this time I guess.
Thinking I’m just gonna wake up one day and be me again isn’t working, and these promises of I’ll be back online soon are delusional.
I’ve been editing the same episode for a week now and I can’t get it together. It shouldn’t be that way, that’s how I know.
And maybe this will seem over the top, but I don’t think one of our greatest Canadian moments should be edited with such a head as mine right now, and you wouldn’t wanna watch me narrate anything right now either ;)
My grandma’s been in the hospital since last week and tomorrow she’s moving to a new home quite a bit further away, so that’s this week, and I’ll be back with the rest of the great Olympic footage I still have when I’m normal. Not putting a date on that :)
Find me on Twitter a bit in the interim.
Thanks,
xo Keri
