My kid has already landed her co-op placement for January which is awesome. But… she will need a car. And really it’s time, she has two placements next year. But this wasn’t in the plans.

I have been feeling lonely as my “mom friends” have drifted away, and decided to do something about it. I messaged some old friends and have set a coffee date and two lunch dates. My heart already feels lighter.

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

Had a community yard sale today. I gave away a fair bit. Rock bottom prices. Not about the money, it’s about clearing out the stuff.

Scrolling TikTok last night and I saw a video a woman made of her dad over the years as his dementia progressed. There was something about the almost child-like smile her dad had that reminded me of my dad the last few years. So I had a good cry. Sometimes the missing them is so overwhelming.

There are little things you can do. It always about the money.

What a day. The temp and the sunshine. Just perfect.

Um no I do not want to win a trip to the land of no vaccines and a concentration camp. But thanks Air Canada. 🙄

This is what my husband wore today. We also have a little Blue Jays shrine on our mantle. He is committed.

I love a sheet pan meal. Roasted vegetables and chicken. So easy. And easy to clean up.

Running out of my stash of Cove so I bought Poppi. It is nowhere near as good. I’ll give the rest to my daughter when she visits.

Yes, toxic fumes on US commercial aircraft are a routine thing, and something even quite dangerous. WSJ explores. www.wsj.com/business/air...

Forcing myself to dust so as a reward I can decorate the house for fall/Halloween. I want something fun today.

Best pie: lemon meringue Best ice cream: Chapman’s Premium salted caramel crunch or Hoofprints Best donut: Boston Cream Best bar: Trufflebar caramel biscuit Best cake: chocolate cake with boiled icing Best other: any $15 lunch trio at the Black Spoon

Had the aura for a migraine. Took some Tylenol and laid down in the dark. I think (hope) it has passed. Still queasy. I haven’t had a migraine in so long. I swear I thought about that the other day. I brought this on myself. 😆

This brought back a lot of unpleasant memories. There were no “good old days”. Great article.

I just submitted my claim. I got my $25 Loblaws card last time. Happy to get something back.

We know the presenter as soon as they speak on Escape to the Country. We might be obsessed.

Hi. I know I've said this before, but it bears repeating: we have to be able to criticize Mark Carney without living in fear that doing so will help Poilievre or weaken Canada. He is our Prime Minister. Out of anyone, he deserves to be watched and critiqued. We should all be dying on this hill.

Drinking my coffee wondering why over 100 people liked my beach pic from yesterday. 😬

Another day at the beach. I love September.

Not a bad way to spend an afternoon. It’s still summer.

I am still feeling like a truck hit me 24 hours after the shingles vaccine. Still better than actually having shingles I’m sure, but I’m glad I’m not working. I just want to go have a nap.

You are pro Alberta book bans … and have “Live and Let Live” as your profile quote. Only on Facebook. 🙄

2nd shingles shot complete. My arm is SORE this time. Trying to keep it moving because that usually helps but it hurts to lift my arm.

Spent yesterday shopping and having lunch and watching old movies with my oldest. Up gabbing the night before. My heart is full. ❤️

WTF?! Boycott Crown Royal.

My oldest arrives for a visit tonight. I’m so excited to see her!!

I just had a dermaplaning facial and feel amazing. The scalp massage really tops it off. I’m so relaxed.

Decided to make a blueberry buckle because I wanted dessert and I had blueberries.

The rain sounds wonderful. And so cool. We need so much more, but this is a start.

80s nostalgia AI slop: A niche like any other, reverse engineered by 20-something digital nomads in Bali to boomerfy the masses as they astral project to a fake past in service of making fractions of a cent per view on Zuckerberg's cultish algorithmic slop machine www.404media.co/80s-nostalgi...

Nope. Nope.

Phone searches at the US border have hit a record high, according to newly released figures from Customs and Border Protection.

Trying that blueberry loaf in the Farmers Market cookbook. It’s in the oven.

The government's "eyebrow-raising" penchant for breaking up strikes finally met its match in the woman-dominated workforce of CUPE's Air Canada unit. Why the flight attendants' strike was "a perfect storm" for labour: pressprogress.ca/air-canada-f...

I saw a cute little sparrow on my deck. So I ended up adding a bird identifier app and now apparently I have a new hobby.

Have you heard about the 2 TX Billionaires controlling the state government?

Oh did I crash. I just woke up at 8:30. I was in bed before 10. I woke once. 😳 I feel like I slept a thousand years. I needed it. Now the laundry and groceries and all the things that need doing after a trip.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre comes wants to make sure everyone knows he's a full blown transphobe, in case there was any doubt. He even included a shout out to JK Rowling. This hate should be disqualifying from any politician. "women's rights advocate" go fuck yourself

Home. So happy to be in my house. It was great to see my youngest. 8 weeks till next time down at seem so bad now.

I only ever want to fly out of Billy Bishops from now on. What a treat this is vs. Pearson. So organized. So small.

Rebooked to fly home Wednesday. Another night in a hotel but that’s ok. Home a day late is great!

Well it doesn’t look like Air Canada is going to get us home tomorrow night. But they still haven’t cancelled our flight so we are riding it out. Maybe we will just stay in Ontario forever. 😆

If you are in the mood to buy pizza, make it a Canadian pizza! #ElbowsUp #Canada

They opened the dome. Game #2 for me.

Toronto is hot. Like the first time my arms glistened since I was in Florida in August years ago. 🔥☀️

Joining my 2 baseball fans at the game today. They had a great time at last night’s game. Hoping for another good one!

Last flight out of the maritimes. (Not really but it felt like the hunger games getting in the air.) Who knows how we will get back 😆 but on the way to see the youngest! And the Jays!
