There’s power in a union …

What a difference a day makes …

If you have to be at the airport at crack of dawn, this passenger’s traveling companion makes travel a bit sweeter.

Insanity

Raced outside at sunset (after 5:15pm!!) to capture these beautiful photos. #Vancouver

You know what I hate? Man-spreading. I have elbowed the guy in the centre seat at least 5 times in the past 30 mins of the flight. And now I’m edging in with my leg. #FightManSpreading

Millennial pal: You haven’t seen the L word? It’s a lesbian/queer right of passage!! Me: Wait. You mean my 42 years of fucking women don’t count?

Turns out these dudes like classical music. #caturday on Sunday #cats #sphynxcats

Six years ago, the chef/operator at this popular fish truck awed me with his passion. It was a catalyst to leave a miserable job. Months later, I returned, struck up a friendship with the chef, and shared how he had inspired me. Still the best poke and still a reminder to follow your heart. ♥️

HNY to all. Today’s my 60th birthday. And I can confirm that the state I’m visiting is very diligent about checking ID for any person purchasing alcohol. Getting carded at 60 made my day.

After a brutal bout of pneumonia last spring, I decided to get the vaccine. Feel like Ive been hit by a truck! 💉

Hosted some friends for the 7th night of Hanukkah last night and they both brought the same gift for me! Now I have 2 pairs of little Hanukkah gnomes to add to my Hanukkah decor! #hanukkah #chanukkah

Went to a Hanukkah party tonight with a small group of adults and (what felt like 20 children). Delicious latkes and sufganiyot, and singing, and meeting new people. And also a moment of wondering if someone would throw rocks at the window.

Incredulous that the rain has (temporarily) stopped. #caturday #cats ##sphynxcats #sphynx

53 emails for giving Tuesday. And counting. 😬

Turkey on a smoker. Nomnomnom. #Thanksgiving 🦃🇺🇸

I am seated on a flight next to a friendly young couple. But the dude, whenever he is not speaking, is humming. Not a song. Just completely random to fill the space. Is this some neurodivergent form of stimming?

Why is there no chocolate in my house?

35 mins of spectacular views today between #Vancouver and #Victoria compliments of #HarbourAir Seaplanes.

Ready! 🎃⚾️🧢🇨🇦 #Halloween #Baseball #Bluejays #Gojaysgo #Worldseries

Still watching after 15 innings! #WorldSeries #Bluejays

Season 2 of Nobody Wants This is a relationship 101 disaster of complete incompatibility. The show fails to achieve even a modicum of what Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt portrayed decades prior in Mad About You. #NobodyWantsThis #Netflix

How did I miss this??? Went to the grocery store and shelves were empty! Oh how I will miss Yves veggie bacon and ground round. 😞 Sorry to say so long to this great Canadian company.

This was a really good ball game to watch for the first time in decades! Thirty-two years, to be exact. So excited for the World Series!!!! #bluejays #toronto #baseball #worldseries

These little scamps!

Welp. Here we go.

I’ve been travelling for nearly 3 weeks and my boy has been spoiled rotten by his cat-whispering caregiver. Who knew he loved Vangelis? #sphynx #sphynxcat #cats

Ugh. Diane Keaton. What a beautiful, talented actress who reminded us that sexy is ageless. RIP. #DianeKeaton

Wordle 1,575 2/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 WordleBot Skill 86/99 Luck 54/99 I have literally NEVER shared a Wordle score before but today I’m like: yay! look at me!!

I have a new cell phone exclusively for work. I missed a call today, during a meeting, and received this voice-to-text message.

Pro-tip: do not attempt a walk-in lab appointment for bloodwork on a Friday before a long weekend unless a 4-hr wait, including fasting and no coffee for 15 hrs, is your idea of fun

What is with my addition to people getting haircuts on TikTok ?

Something I didn’t expect to say today (or ever): no no no no no—olives are not for kitty cats.

How I got a sunburn. By Bazzo.

Paying the price for a diet of wine, cheese, and bread this weekend. 😬

On a whim, I tried some cologne at a store today. A soapy/woodsy scent, to complement my deodorant. My cat has recoiled.

14,000 glorious BTUs. Everyone is happy about it.

Finally decided to go into the office after WFH for a couple of weeks and… someone brought in a giant box of Strawberry Poptarts! NomNomNom

Although I have a very low threshold for violence, I am completely OBSESSED with this show. No spoilers please (watching finale tomorrow). Have you seen it? Favourite character? #TheHuntingWives

To those, like @gateau.bsky.social, with a passion for watermelon, both Toronto’s CNE and Vancouver’s PNE are featuring deep fried watermelon among their wacky food offerings this season. Bon apetit!

Dark room. Cold cloth. Trying not to puke from migraine. Also trying not to kill my cat for his incessant clawing and crying at bedroom door.

Oh, Vancouver. You are magnificent.

Window seat today. Breathtaking.

Although I’m of a certain age, I still have the appetite of an adolescent boy (exceptions: extreme grief or infatuation). Today: AM: coffee + smoked meat sandwich Lunch: half bag Hard Bite chips + 2 marshmallows PM: veggie meat/cheese quesadilla, cocktail, pint of chocolate salted caramel gelato

Ending a long, intense day with a superhero movie, highball, and big bag of popcorn. Let’s see how soon I fall asleep in my seat.

I’m actually just trying to read a book. #cats #sphynxcats

All I seem to do is work these days, and sometimes it feels like such a slog. But this afternoon I had a delicious and leisurely patio lunch in the Vancouver sunshine with @gateau.bsky.social and it feels a bit easier getting back to the grind.
