How will you spend your weekend? I will attend the new exhibit at the Muttart this afternoon. I may take an extra walk in the neighbouring park. Then I will go home to make Tacos in a Bag with my family. Tomorrow I will walk, rip out the corpse of the vegetable garden, make a witch's broom

What a rotten year for Gen X losing their parents or having parents in failing health.

Today is stupid. I'm going to go walk with my ducks at lunch.

Just out of curiosity, was anyone raptured yesterday? I went to sleep early.

Today is the New Garage Walk Through. I’m pretty excited.

I was going to give myself a break today and wore the cute shoes to work. At lunch I decided to go for a walk anyway. Wrong. Shoes. Wrong shoes. WRONG SHOES! I think my feet are hamburger now.

I noticed recently that I am becoming much more introverted in my old age.

Is everyone ready for the rapture? I cannot tell you how many of these I have lived through.

I'm still not reactivating my subscription to Disney +. They can get fucked.

Going through the photos led to a fight with my brother. I’m so done with all of this. If the aftermath of my mother could stop now that would be great.

So today I spent a good majority of my afternoon going through family photos. How do you decide what to archive and what to throw out?

So we tried just leaving Luci Furr in the kitchen/stairwell/library instead of kennelling her today. She ate an antique bible. Sometimes I think she is aware of her name.

Battle doomscrolling by posting five small pleasures in life. 1) a rainy day with a good book and a warm cup of tea enjoyed from under a fuzzy blanket. 2) the smell of lilacs in spring 3) golden hour light 4) a morning cuddle with my husband 5) the crunch of fallen leaves under your feet.

At the ER a heavily tattooed indigenous lady walked up to me with her hands cupped and said she had something for me. I looked up and smiled and asked what it was. She handed it to me and said it is a punk rock. Then she hurried away. I am delighted.

The facility they took me to doesn’t have wheelchair accessible washrooms. I’ve been wheeled to the bathroom in the waiting room and have to figure out how to get myself out with fire doors and no wheelchair button.

And the day after my MRI I end up trapped upstairs in my room waiting for an ambulance to become available because there are none and my situation is not dire. So I’ll rot upstairs and wait while people more sick than me get serviced (no shade to them AT ALL) and feel bad about needing help at all.

Knee MRI day. Let’s find out what shit show is happening in there.

I am a whirlwind of paint and stars in my eyes. My newest mandala is 20 inches of stone and precious metals. I am painting interpretive sculpture that looks back at you while wearing a witch hat on a hot summer day with falling autumn leaves.

What the fuck? How did we get to a point where people are bold enough to say this not only out loud but on TV?

Audrey is casting a twinkle bra on the floor. I hope you are all having a brilliant morning.

There are five books published about the shooting of Charlie Kirk on my amazon app today. WHAT? Two of them were published yesterday.

I saw a post that said "I don't support what happened to Charlie Kirk but Charlie Kirk supported what happened to Charlie Kirk." and that about sums it up.

Because they are fascists. www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLo...

Luci is literally the Kristen Wiig of dogs. Change my mind.

Forgive me if I care way more about the school shooting that also took place today than I do about Charlie Kirk.

Thoughts and prayers?

But what if, and hear me out, I'd rather fucking die than spend my time with people who think I should be dead and that loads of my friends should be too, even if I'm "one of the good ones."

Less than a week of not moving because of the smoke and I’m at ground zero again. Tonight I tried to walk to Kaleido and only got two blocks. Last week I was measuring distance in kms. I’m so frustrated.

Just landscaping and doors left on the garage. Crazy how quick that is.

Holy shit the hots are flashing a lot more lately.

Hey Hivemind! As an early sixth wedding anniversary gift, David got us a sibling for Edgar Allan Bones. We have no idea what to name them. We would love if you could help us.

Somehow we are out of donated books for the little free library. If you have any you can part with, please let me know. #yeg

Edgar got naked yesterday as the month turned. He is now ready to spook the neighbourhood!

Today’s movie from the vault is ET. What candy from your childhood can you be led by? Follow up question: do you believe in intelligent life beyond earth. Why or why not? #moviesfromthevault

I painted a tiny mushroom house today. It turned out better than expected.

Ok so weapons was super amazing.

Busy weekend. Walked a total of 8km over two days. Saw two new parks I have never been to. Designed and built a flower bed for the fall bulbs I have coming. Made some art. Did some writing. Spent quality time with David. Ate brilliant food. Walked a street festival. Talked more with my new bestie,

David took this picture on my 6km walk. It was a personal best record since before Covid and my hip died and was replaced. All I wanted in the world as a kid was a swing in a big old tree. Today I found one and was not going to waste the moment without actually doing it. This photo is of pure joy.

Here’s that earworm you never wanted. You’re welcome! open.spotify.com/track/1xXspM...

Irony is on the nose with this one.

I signed on today. Please do the same.

Teachers: we really need supports for complex needs in classrooms, lower class sizes, better working conditions, and appropriate funding UCP: best we can do is a book ban

The majority of this was built by noon today. It was just a cement pad this morning.

Janis Irwin rang my door and it made my whole day. I fan-girled so hard.

Keys were located. Uber didn’t contact my driver and they also did NOT get in touch with me at his request. I was unable to cancel the $600 new fob order and my old fob doesn’t work and it will cost me $100 to reprogram it. So thanks, Uber. I think?

I also stuck a set of tardis coasters in the little free library thinking maybe someone would like them. They have taken two. One at a time. Not the whole set.

We live in a challenging neighborhood and while reorganizing the other day, I put a stack of skulls out on top of the little free library thinking someone would take them. Books have been coming and going but the skulls are still there. I guess it is our haunted little free library now.
