I would like to see your Christmas books, please

Family Christmas book stack

Went on a tour of fabulous Christmas lights, only to get home and find that half of ours are burnt out :/

I worked at a KMart as a teen in the 90s. I do not miss it.

Ugh the next three 7A busses are in 26, 27 and 33 minutes. What is happening?! #clusterbus

I have frozen the squash that I roasted for soup and which you are probably glad to miss Forgive me I want breakfast for dinner instead

The Raccoons is on Crave and my kid is getting a CanCon education.

Happy cozy & festive day off to me.

If anyone sees a Kirby keychain while you’re out (particularly blind box style) please let me know. It’s the one thing my kid has asked for for Christmas.

The port has existed in its current form since the 1970's. The Peninsula had its peak population in 1956. If congestion and movement of people and goods are being impacted today, the only cause is the number of cars on the road. the only solution is to reduce the count.

Doing my first Cultural Property application and it is an extremely government form. So much for getting any other work done before the new year.

I'm not religious but damn do I love a christian carol. "O Holy Night"? It is if someone's singing that song. "Fall on your knees" ??!! Already down here, buddy. You've knocked me out

The fundraising auction for the Halifax Community Fridge has some great stuff. Make a few bids and help feed our nieghbours! www.32auctions.com/hfxcommunity...

The Hydrostone tree lighting is such a lovely event, but my toes are still thawing.

Help I was kind to a stranger and now they won’t stop being pleasant at me.

Stalking my library holds because I am SO CLOSE to getting the next Dungeon Crawler Carl AND the new Travis Baldree AND the new Uzma Jalaluddin holiday romcom. Read faster, Halifax.

Hi book pals! Looking for recommendations for a fantasy series (great world building, excellent writing a must). This is what husband has asked for for Christmas. I have a few options, but would love to hear from readers. 💙📚

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

I am watching the lady at the next table eating a hamburger with a knife and fork. I will not apologize for staring, I am fascinated.

Two people almost got hit at separate young & robie crosswalks this morning (one was me).

The HBC, ending as it began: putting profit before this land and its people. What a history lesson for all of us.

I have been informed that December is NEXT WEEK. I am assuming this is an error or an outright lie, and I refuse to look at a calendar to confirm.

So the Spryfield Bowlarama is an entirely different beast from the Bayer’s Road Bowlarama, in case you were wondering.

Spent some time doing this yesterday. If you don't want your emails used to teach Google's AI, I suggest turning off "smart features" and then trying this.

Started rewatch of VEEP and gosh darn it’s so good.

Me: Wow, work is so quiet today! I can actually focus on something! Also Me: forgot to reopen Outlook and Teams after a forced reboot

Feeling delightfully pretentious with my beautiful coffee & my poetry book.

I have once again eaten far too many mashed potatoes.

Exciting news! Lance Sampson, who is the musician Aquakultre, has filed an Application with the Canadian Minister of Justice to review the conviction of Lance's great-great grandfather, Daniel Sampson. Yesterday, Aquakultre released the official video of "Gallows," about Daniel Sampson. 1/6

I have had to remind myself that it's only Monday SEVERAL times today.

There is nothing more adult than muttering ‘I’m a grown-up I’m a grown-up…’ under your breath as you do a simple task.

We’re just getting started.

I'm in a training session and the presenter might ~literally~ be Chris Traeger from Parks and Rec

'People Were Nice to Me and I Cried: the Heather Allen Story'

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

Planted some bulbs today and the ground is still SO dry. Reminding myself of this as I look at the rainy forecast.

My neighbour is using their very loud leaf blower

May have to do a quick recalibration of the kid’s costume, as it involved a top hat. Very glad I didn’t invest $$ in a costume this year

Big excitement at the bus stop this morning: a deer! In the hydrostone. Poor thing.

A ton of pieces have fallen into place, leading to my parents adopting a corgi. It’s very exciting and lovely and distracting.

Made mustard pickles.

Stop Wearing Perfume on the Bus Challenge

RIP The Coast. It keeps hurling itself into the sea; just let it die.

Nothing like going through Community Services files from the 60s to make you feel nice and bleak.

I was unprepared for both the darkness and the rain.
