My cat is on a bit of a hunger strike and I can't decide if it's the supplement we started giving him, the shot he got last week, or his regular occasional lack of appetite.

Husband and I went to the Highwayman for drinks and food. He recommends the oysters, I recommend the sangria. Go with a budget and stick to it, otherwise 💸💸💸

Woke up not feeling am amazing, not sure why. Allergies? Decided to treat myself to bubble tea and the paper straw they gave me was so useless at puncturing the lid that it just crumpled. I had to wait until I got home because I had to use a knife. 🤦‍♀️

I remember being a kid and my grandmother taking me to Swiss Chalet. I would get a Shirley Temple and I thought it was SO FANCY.* *This is the only sit-down restaurant we ever went to that wasn't fast food or Pizza Delight because we were poor.

I took the cat to the vet today because something wasn't right. He's fine, just low potassium which apparently is common in cats with chronic conditions (he has 2). He also has arthritis and the vet mentioned a new monoclonal antibody drug to treat it. 1/

I need to be better about contacting friends to hang out. If friends don't invite me out I will sit around the house and rot. So, I'm thankful that a friend pulled me out of the house today.

I'm trapped. Send tea.

Been a very quiet work week despite there being an ongoing audit. But this morning there's suddenly an issue that may drop a pile of work into my lap. Be careful what you wish for, I guess.

Today's commute home brought to you by TRAFFIC. 🫠

Left my house to get groceries and gas and immediately decided that I did not need gas that badly. That rain is torrential and I got soaked as it was just leaving the grocery store. It's a good day for ducks!

Someone just came in with a box of donuts from Tim's and offered them to us. They ordered some timbits and they gave her a box of donuts too. They were still warm! If you've never had a warm sour cream glazed donut, lemme tell you, that's where it's at.

*drinks one margarita at Antojo* "We should go to Mexico!" 😂

No, Ebola will not be the next pandemic. They state this several times in this article. Ebola is particularly problematic in this part of Africa due to ongoing military conflict and poor medical infrastructure, neither of which is the case here.

I lost a stone out of my ring at work today. It's probably gone forever. Lord knows where it went, probably wrapped in a glove at the bottom of a biohazard bin. Husband gave this ring to me on our first anniversary. I'm super sad about it.

I just want the person under me to not push back every time I ask them to do something. I'm gonna fling myself off a bridge.* *Not really. I'm just frustrated.

Every farm from PEI to Halifax is spraying manure on the fields today. It STINKS.🤢🤢

In PEI for the weekend staying at the in-laws. Drinking tea quietly in the living room while everyone else sleeps.

In bed early. My head is pounding. Hurry up and rain already! Sheesh.

I'm so ready for a long weekend.

I've wanted to go to Japan since I was a kid. I think I might start seriously looking into going. I'm not gonna book anything yet, but I want to start coming up with a list of things I want to see and do. Maybe sometime in the next 5 years.

I did not enjoy this book and I feel incensed that bookstagram and booktok recommended it to me. I should not have finished it, but I was hoping that the "chose one" trope that they were teasing was gonna play out in Book 1. Nope. If you like reading about men in battles, maybe this book is for you.

Now that this gift has been given, I can share this baby blanket I made for a friend. I love this pattern. It's so much fun to crochet and looks really nice in a variegated or solid colour.

I went to a baby shower this afternoon and then we went for a walk, now I'm going to lie on my couch and be introverted. 😆

We're finally watching From. I'm not fully versed in what makes a show good or bad, but I know it's not the best show in the world. There's enough mystery there though that I will 100% keep watching it while making fun of some of the things characters do.

Shutting out the world. If you look real hard you can see his little nose.

Hey, look, I know the hantavirus thing is scary, but it will not turn out to be another pandemic like covid. These two paragraphs are the main takeaway from this article. www.cbc.ca/news/world/h...

This scratchy throat better be the nasal spray I've been taking and not something else...

Had a terrible sleep last night so it's been a very low key day. I did several things wrong that caused me to ruin my sleep Caffeine after 4pm Alcohol Didn't make the bed before I got into it because husband was already there.

We spent so much time wandering around Dartmouth this afternoon. My cheeks feel warm, like they've gotten a bunch of sun.

Name your top 15 TV shows ever, gut instincts only. I struggled. 😂 Some aren't done. Star Trek TNG The Simpsons The Office Six Feet Under Bob's Burgers Haunting of Hill House Lost The X Files Broadchurch (S1) True Detective (S1) Fleishman's in Trouble Severance Last of Us Shrinking Parks and Rec

FYI, it was a hit and he wants to go back. 😆

Husband and I went for a wander downtown, then came home and opened some windows to let in some fresh air. It's a beauty of a day.

I love that I can give my cat a small amount of joy by getting all his mats shaved off. Yesterday morning he seemed very old and I felt like he was declining, this morning he's happily sitting in the sun grooming himself. Happy as a clam.

Introducing husband to Banh Mi.

This guy is having a post-grooming snooze on my lap. 😊

When the person that does the least in the department takes time to tell you that you forgot to replace something twice in the last week.... I just want to walk into the sea.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Took some Advil and decongestant and I feel better, but I find decongestants keep me awake. I did get some sleep though.

Up early. Can't sleep, head is pounding. To hell with this, I'm not going to work today.

I'm not sure why I've suddenly been sleeping so late (9am) on the weekends lately. It's at least an hour later than usual.

Husband and I went to Studio East for his late birthday dinner. They need a take out window just for the Bao buns. I could eat so many of those. 🤤

Me yesterday knowing that a bridge is closed today and I have to go in to work: "I'm gonna go in to work early so that I can avoid some traffic." Me today: *slept until 9 and didn't get out of bed until 9:30. Still in my PJs at 10am.* I guess I'll get there when I get there.

Traffic was so light this morning and I was so confused as to what day it was that I legit had a moment where I was like "it's not the weekend, right?"

Absolutely incredible.

Why tho?

My cat is having a very senior day. Poor old guy. 😢

I've had so many "Science is incredible" moments in the last month. From a friend's mom who went from having stage 4 cancer to being "all clear", and now the whole Artemis II mission. I'm just amazed.

Splashdown!

Drinking a Colliding Tides, watching the Artemis II live feed. Here's hoping for a safe splashdown!

That was DELICIOUS!! I can't wait to work my way through Indochine's menu.

Friends, I am getting Banh Mi. I am excited.
