Also - board games with friends, calls with family, sleeping in, reading books with themed Spotify playlists, cinema, working out and cooking.

I also took on Spanish lately, hobbies just save my mood on days like this

Candles!

I like to take advantage of the rain and get cozy indoors. I'll light some candles, make a cup of tea and cozy up with a book or a movie. This helps me stay positive and I find it helps the time pass by quickly.

Open up the curtains and blinds to let in as much natural light as possible, or consider investing in a light therapy lamp to simulate daylight. It also helps with the seasonal depression.

I moved here from Toronto and when they called it “beautiful BC” I didn’t know they only meant “beautiful for 2 months out of the year”

Motions
I work in a midsize firm and we have the basic subscription to westlaw, which doesn’t include the ability to see filed briefs, motions, etc without incurring additional costs. I’m wondering if there is a service in the NJ/PA area that gives you access to previously filed motions and briefs? So if I’m drafting a summary judgment I could search the service and find a similar one. If this doesn’t exist.. I think I found the next million dollar idea lol

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
