Tonight's sacrifice to the dinner gods involved enthusiastically dunking most my left hand in a boiling pot of water. I swallowed several advils and ran it cold running water immediately. Sitting now with a bag of frozen peas. Dinner was good.

Encountered five deer crossing the street this morning. Feeling really bad for them as all their habitat is currently being cut down here for new housing initiatives. The ironic thing is with everything happening right now I suspect its going to be cost prohibitive to build or people ...

I was watching hereditary for the first time and was so engrossed I did not notice the #dog drinking my wine until it was too late. Out of the glass. In my hand. #horror #movie

"A Case of You" 2026 #watercolour no reference photos, just sitting listening to #jonimitchell #blue . If you're a woman over a certain age who has lived some things no one knows your secret heart like Joni does. #blueskyart #nbartist #artjournal

These pictures of #KashPatel being screeched in are doing me in. I'm disappointed in the lack of "kiss the cod picks". How did he ever get into #Newfoundland?

It is one of those rare experiences that will forever change you, and you "carry" those babies and that painful loss forever. Now, there are evil people who want to make it a crime. If we talked about it more, demonstrate how common it is, they might comprehend how full our jails would be.

In today's creepy adventures of walking in the woods by myself with no phone etc I took my dog along the "trail" that runs behind my house, then took another side trail that had fresh people/dog tracks, then stupidly took another ungroomed side trail because I had to pee. I tied up my dog ... 1

There's a Cdn commercial about alzheimers where a daughter is quietly concerned about all the lemons her father leaves around the house. I think my symptoms/tell may be open cartons of chicken stock in the fridge. (7) My mom is the concerned one. ...

If there's opera, both Poupon and Lily will come right away to listen and we get a lovely truce. My pets love classical music and opera is definitely their jam.

Since I had to travel to the Southside yesterday and would be passing The Coffee Mill, I picked up a box of their cinnamon buns as a treat. Pure heaven. Their donuts cannot be passed up either.

No trip to Crappy Tire is complete without a bag of Frank Buffalo wings and blue cheese chips and this Mixes & Mingles #licorice mix which includes a knock off of a childhood favorite Good & Plenty which seem to have disappeared in Canada. #Canada #canadiantire ...

Okay, this has me steamed: I switched to e-books because Im constantly moving (23 homes in 55 years and counting) plus I'm leaning to the blind side of things and tablets for me improve readability. I'm sure this is an AI book or self publish or something but if this goes mainstream I'll lose it.

youtu.be/ShyjCAEHZow?... Heated Rivalry is produced by a Cdn streamer who has a focus on Cdn content, but it and many other shows you love are made because Canada works hard to support producers of Cdn. You might be surprised how many other movies & shows are made here.

Our household can confirm, pets -cats and dogs- do love the Ol' Chopin.

I Want To Believe, 2026 #watercolour A potentially more hopeful(?) #artjournal entry tonight. After promising to release #UAP files (which will likely be things seen before) two dot gov sites for #aliens have been registered. Is it real? Or is it about #ICE trolling about illegal aliens.

You Can't Spell NATO Without NO, 2026 #watercolour Self-explanatory #artjournal entry. Not sure why my navy blue looks so purple in the photo. Might go over it with a different shade.

March 16, 2026, Cuba, #watercolour - latest entry of my little art journal project documenting the daily insanity we are witnessing. It appears Trump views his foreign policy the same way he runs beauty pagents, with whole beautiful sovereign nations just there to "grab".

Beware the AI poetry, quotes, and music. Unlike photos, it can sound authentic, often because it lifts lines straight from the authentic poetry so it strikes a familiarity. If you search it and you don't have many hits and they're only on weird sites, likely just AI garbage.

☘️🍀Irish dinner in the slowcooker that Noone will eat except me. My mom's as french as it gets and my son's a fussy eater. I guess thats lunches for the rest of this week solved I'm one quarter Irish on my father's side, County Cork. Happy Saint Patrick's Day!🍀☘️

My fellow #Bluenosers will be proud to hear that the #Oscar winning set designers for Frankenstein are from #NovaScotia. www.reddit.com/r/NovaScotia...

OMG I can't believe I didn't notice it was #IdesofMarch and almost missed my annual tradition of posting this great #Canadian classic! youtu.be/NvZCKKiDMRw?...

Canada and NFB wins best animated short at Oscar's. The Girl Who Cried Pearls

Cabbages for $8.50 & $10.50 at my closest store options. Atlantic Superstore apparently has them for $4.50 but we're boycotting Loblaws/Weston. & i live on the outskirts of my city so there's no gas to waste comparison shopping. I bought a bag of coleslaw mix since I didnt need a whole head.

Blueberries #watercolour Im going to be cutting this up for bookmarks and cards. It took forever to paint, pretty much all my free paint time this week. #Blueberry #art #blueskyart

I do not recognize the arbitrarily self-appointed authority of Criminal in Chief Trump, Hegseth, Noem, or any others over me or my country. ✊️🍁🇨🇦 youtube.com/shorts/yocVM...

YouTube algorithms often decide when I'm overdue to listen to certain musicians. Lately, it's pushing Radiohead, NIN ... and Whitney Houston.

Hot Topic, 2026 #mixedmedia #collage I love cats, vampires, and Studio Ghibli, so a lot of my casual clothes are from Hot Topic which satisfies that Venn Diagram. This was made from their bags and promotional material. Still needs work. #blueskyart #art #upcycle #nbartist

New glasses, and weirdly for the first time ever in my life, I don't have to take them off to comfortably read or look at my phone. That's gonna be a hard habit to break.

I'd like to know why my body keeps insisting that 3:30 am is the perfect time to be wide awake knowing full well I have a full hard day ahead of me. Why?!?

Two recent entries in my "Diary at the End of the World" project, something I started to mentally deal with the US admin, environmental collapse, rise of AI etc. The pages are very small which is great for quick little sketches. .../1. #watercolour #journal #blueskyart #nbartist #sketch #mentalheath

I beg beg beg any and all medical professionals, take your female patients' complaints seriously. I'm close to 20 years of "anxiety" and now struggle to breathe and am so weak I have days I can barely stand.

22 years ago today, this kiddo made a dramatic entrance into my life. She was an amazing dancer, & is now a brilliant student. She is a confident & fiercely independent young woman. She is the light of our family. My heart aches she is so far away. Happy Birthday, baby girl.

A inspired by the film, The Hallow, 2026, #mixedmedia Finn and Iggy were my favourite characters, and I learned about the Rabbit hole that is The Book of Invasions #folkhorrorfriday #art #blueskyart #blueskyfilm #letterboxd #watercolour #fae #fairy #Irish #irishfolklore #forest #environment

Since all my #cat does is sleep, and how many pictures do we need of him sleeping, for #caturday I present my cheery cat bedding. (I saw this in the movie Renfield, where after decades grinding for the dark and dreary horrible boss Dracula (Nicholas Cage), Renfield quits and moves into a place ...1

Watching Youtube videos on my TV while also watching other YouTube videos on my phone. Need an intervention.

We've put out #cat on a limited wet food diet not because he's fat but because #economy and listening to his little demands for second breakfast is breaking my heart #caturday

#MarcusAurelius #stoicism #Meditations have been appropriated by alt right/men's rights/male toxicity culture and has vecome a dogwhistle for same. Many people read Meditations but the alt right cling to it and now when its referenced its a personal red flag. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Self portrait 2026 #collage I ❤️ the background and promptly 💔 it by pasting a tissue paper outline of me on top. The tissue was so heavy the background disappeared. I watched an art video today that offered a solution and it was a vast improvement -still not great but I learned a new trick #art

In today's annals of my son's favourite conversations with his mother's broken brain: Me: "they made the bathrooms on my floor heterosexual a few years ago..." Son: "they're what mom?" Me: "you know, whole gender". He could see me puzzling over it like I know something's not coming out right. ...

Black-cheeked Lovebirds, 2026 #watercolour on #paper. For this month's challenge I decided to imagine myself traveling to the exotic destination of Zambia and purchasing a stamp featuring a cozy scene of love. #birdwhisperer #blueskyart #art #nbartist #Nature

Physically removing Al Green from the State of the Union two years in a row is not great optics.

I was saving for some medical Tourism in New England. Then came Trump. Then a little MRI/beach action in Mexico, but cartel wars. My options are dwindling by the second and what's left is further afield and costing me more re flights. Next on list of potentials is, i guess, Thailand or Turkey.

Mama's Very Special Little Boy, 2026 #Watercolour on paper I was hoping beyond hope that this little snot would be papped in some Poundland in his PJs shopping for biscuits for his tea. My wildest dreams were exceeded.

In my minds eye, I pictured a majestic galloping horse, mane and tail aflame. Extremely ambitious given I've never drawn a horse before. Instead, I painted a sad, timid little horse with what looks like unfortunate explosive flatulence. Very fortuitous? Happy New Year? #paintingfail #oops

Normally EvilMart delivers groceries in paper bags but today they came in this beautiful bag featuring Toronto artist M.Falconer for #BlackHistory month.
