What a beautiful day! Went to District 1881 in Chilliwack today.

Happy New Year everyone!

Great day in Vancouver! Saw “Awaken Canada” at Flyover Canada; amazing experience. Picture of me is at Canada Place with Stanley Park in the background. Then had brunch at LOCAL Public Eatery; delicious!

Got this pedal for Christmas to add to my pedalboard; sounds awesome!

Happy Holidays everyone!🎄🎅

Good picture of Frances on my shoulder.

Saw beautiful lights tonight at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam. Wasn’t raining and temperature was mild.

I learned something about episodic memory and semantic memory this week. Many autistic people have difficulty with episodic memory; memories that are connected to important or big events in their lives. Semantic memory is strong in a lot of autistic people; this is the /1

It’s International Persons With Disabilities Day and my ADHD is really ADHDing today. I’m also autistic and have generalized anxiety disorder.

Another grocery issue. I bought a pack of three Romain lettuce that cost eight dollars and one of them was already bad food quality along with food prices going up is a problem.

Shrinkflation is a thing. The package on the bottom was bought probably within the last year; 20g less in the one on top now.

Saw an eagle and a kingfisher at Harrison Lake today.

I drew this picture on my iPhone using this stylus.

Completed this watercolour painting tonight!

I’m don’t usually watch baseball, but I got caught up in the World Series and watched all of the games. I was rooting for Toronto and the series couldn’t have been closer. Even though they lost they put everything into it. So fun to see.

Got my Covid and flu shots

It’s my birthday 🎂 Still fine at 59😁

Beautiful day; went for a walk in Mission, BC.

Amazing show in Abbotsford last night! Dallas Smith and his band is on an unplugged tour. I really enjoyed him talking about his musical journey in between songs. Loved the cover of Alice in Chains “Nutshell”!

Saw this elk up the road from our home. Haven’t seen one of these here before. Usually deer and black bears in our area.

Just finished painting my kitchen cabinets and they look really good. Then I just got thinking in a philosophical way how while they look really good. There are some small imperfections./1
