Just got right rear light on my car replaced - waited over two months for parts. Thought someone hit it in parking lot but now being told that someone ripped up the insides with knives. Wish I had been told that before, Im not sure what the point of police report will be now.

In memory of Renee Good, January 2026 #Watercolourcrayons

This wknd, checked & cleaned all dishwasher filters - they were surprisingly clean anyway. Checked outlet tube - clean. The water drains in the first half of the cycle but not second, throws around dirty water. Water drains if you "force" it. No choice but to call for repair.

Desire for a Home, 2026 #acrylic on #paper I've spent most of my life living out of moving boxes, and its been weighing on me heavily lately. I've never had a "hometown" or a place I could comfortably call "home". #blueskyart #fredericton #nbartist #landscape #painting #abstract

I took my mom to see Song Sung Blue this afternoon and it was a great time. Where I spent my teenage years, Neil Diamond was a big deal and guaranteed that at least 2 sings would be played at every HS dance, bar, and wedding, so this was a real nostalgic treat. The kids in the movie 1/

If you're having a hard time mentally keeping things together of late and have access to a streaming service, youtube, or library, may I suggest an hour of #Debussy or #Ravel even if you aren't normally a classical music fan. A calming gentle aural hug for the soul.

20 years ago today we returned to Canada after 7 years in the United States. At the time, we were kind of bitter about it. Now Im immensely grateful.

Has France forgotten that St Pierre and Miquelon fall in the Western Hemisphere? Does it care? Has the White House not realized they're also provoking France?

Thanks to new appliances, various minor appliance repairs and one power outage, and admittedly, just plain laziness, there are now four internationally recognized time zones in my household.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting votes out of existence share.google/7mYhZQeAaaBW... From Sesame Street to Mister Rogers, from Masterpiece Theatre to Mystery from Julia Child, and Nova, and This Old House, PBS raised me and ensured I would have a lifelong thirst for learning. #PBS #GRIEF

Am annoyed that ABC only ran with the American presentation at the UN Security Council emergency meeting. 🙄

There are astonishing things at the British Museum, but it's the 2000-year-old Roman muffin tin that speaks to me. Humans are humans, through time and across continents. A long time ago, somebody, somewhere undoubtedly got really pissed because she burned the dinner rolls.

S6 Ep 7 #StarTrekTNG "Rascals" is one of my top tens for the series, primarily because of young Picard. All the kids are great, but he NAILS Picard.

I really need to go into work to set myself up for the week but Im feeling so heavy about the world right now. One more day of rest.

Recently watched Idris Elba in a movie and he was so wheezy and breathless, and not gonna lie it boosted my own confidence - he sounded like me, as if we both continually run marathons. I'm so embarrassed by it (and the concerned looks I get), and paired with my stuttering /1

Another #urbansketch from my trip to #Halifax - 1801 Hollis Street, where I had my first real adult job. This one was complex and I've been reworking it for ages. Gave up in frustration and dug out my treasured Rockwell Blueberry series #watercolour paints to feel better about it #art ##blueskyart

So #Venezuela is the 51st state now?

What a thing to wake up to this morning. Sick to my stomach and anxiety on overdrive right now. Heart is with people of #Venezuela

In classic "me" mode, I got up, got dressed scrambled to get the dog out, went to work. Found out I was scheduled as "on vacation" still.

First #art of 2026 and madly disappointed in it. In my head this was going to be so much brighter and wilder. It took all day to build the four layers and then let it dry onto the paper. Oh well, I guess this will be a background for something else ... #blueskyart #monoprint

Doing as much New Years cleaning today as my energy levels will allow. Marvelling at how many half-finished loaves of bread there were, especially since for one week there was only one person and a cat in the house. French toast for dinner tonight.

In a massive line up at Buffet To Go, the ONLY decent Canadian Chinese offering in town.

I've had my Dr since 2016 - claims they dont have baseline for me to determine whats wrong re mystery symptoms. Am 55 and in throes of menopause for last few years with no relief - hasn't even asked if I'm having issues - maybe that might be part of problem? globalnews.ca/news/1159424...

I gave my dog the last bite of my dessert and now she's put her favorite on the plate and is staring at me intently and growling which I can only think means she wants more? #Dogsofbluesky

Buddy Daye St, Halifax, NS, 2025, #watercolour and ink. #blueskyart #urbansketching

I just took my dog for an impromptu walk on the trail behind my house and saw endless deer. I know it's pics or it didn't happen but I took the dog out to pee and it was so pleasant I just changed my mind and went for a walk instead, so didn't have my phone on me.

I didn't get out too much on this trip to #Halifax given U was broke and not in a great place mentally and physically but did manage to see/do a few things.

This mornings sunrise ... red sky at morning, sailors warning

It would figure the day I'm leaving Halifax would be the day Zelenskyy is showing up for meeting with Prime Minister

MS doesn’t only affect movement—it can affect emotions. Damage to brain areas involved in emotional regulation can cause mood changes like irritability, anxiety, low mood, or sudden shifts. These symptoms are neurological—not personality flaws. www.livewithms.com

Fort Massey United Church, Dec 2025, #watercolour crayons and #Ink. Trying out the present my daughter gave me. I thought these crayons turned out great, they definitely blended better than I was expecting. They weren't creamy going on but once the water hits them, they instantly #blueskyarr

When I say my daughter's work gave the craziest size #turkey for a single girl I wasn't joking. It literally took every inch of space in her tiny oven. #christmas

I saved some Christmas money specifically for an art store here in Halifax and was sad they had very little #watercolour stuff in stock. I was specifically looking for #neocolour2 and was shocked they didn't have it. My daughter bought me these instead as her Christmas gift to me. ❤️

#Christmas #mimosas for all

Fort Massey United Church, #Halifax NS #Canada December 2025

Met the potential future in-laws tonight and they seemed lovely. I am definitely going to have to ramp up working on my Spanish, I was waaay too nervous to try speaking any tonight.

Happy Festivus, the Holiday for the rest of us!!!

Back in #Halifax for the first time since 2022, an eventful trip where dropping my daughter off for her first year at uni was cut short by a frantic call that my condo building was on fire . This will be my first Christmas in NS since 1998.

Just bought a week's worth of groceries for my son and feeling so sad about leaving him alone at #Christmas. He's working Xmas day and he seems thrilled to have house to himself but having done it many many years, I know the sad and lonelies are gonna hit him. Sending my mom to her sister's place.

Today was the first day of my vacation and can I say how GLORIOUS it was to have a two hour nap. I often try to sneak a lunch nap in most days but zi never really sleep. I cannot put to words how much better I'm feeling right now.

Everyone understands the Criminal-in-Chief was trolling last night, right? Everyone expected Venezuela war announcement until late yesterday afternoon, then it was economy. Instead got ranting "me good, Biden (sigh, give it a rest) very bad". Imagine a lot of Venezuelans had a lot of worry .. 1/2

This idiot sounds like a dictator more and more everyday

Damn it deadline.com/2025/12/gil-...

Canada should take Venezuela as a cautionary tale. According to Trump, we export the WMD Fentanyl to US, we have the oil, we have the potash, the timber, the major resources, the shipping ports, we have fishermen in shared waters to murder, is 300,000 increase to national reserves enough?
