I just got the WIndows 25H2 update notification. Do Not Want. How do I stop this from ever happening????

I have to give the cat 3 pills a day and 2 liquid meds while my sister is away and he used to be so good for me and now he *hates* me doing meds and he fights dirty. I need the BCGEU strike to be over because I am going to need some alcohol to get through this!

I'm trying to keep my sister updated as she flies into Tashkent and I do not like sending these updates, Blue Jays.

I'm having a hard time getting into this Riley Sager book I'm reading, and I'm not sure why. #AmReading #Books

I was looking at laptops out of curiosity ... um, no fucking no no no to the Copilot+ PCs. I really hate where technology is heading. And, you know, the world.

My laptop battery has kicked the bucket and now the laptop only works on AC adapter. I guess 3 years of use every day is the limit. Now I'm trying to figure out if I should open it up to see the battery specs and attempt to order a replacement and do it myself ...

NO. NO NO NO FUCK NO. NO. These assholes need to fuck off into the sun.

Seriously this covid shot is kicking my ass today. Awful headache and muscle aches/joint pain are still trucking along.

Government websites are the most infuriating things. Why can't they just work? I need to renew my passport and I sign up for an account, get a verification email, activate it ... go to sign in and wait for a verification that never comes.

The new Covid shot is no joke. Haven’t had a reaction like this since my 2nd shot in 2021.

My favourite thing about NCIS: Origins is that it's set in the '90s. That Marky Mark/Donnie Wahlberg convo was gold 🤣

The commercial for Anne Rice's Talamasca is so off-putting thanks to the motion smoothing. Are they filming it like this on purpose or is the network doing it? Because it's not my TV, motion smoothing is the first thing I turn off. It looks so amateurish.

Watching my not-so-secret-favourite Halloween - Halloween 4 - and trying not to re-edit more of Book 1 (aka The Lost and Found).

Finished Cycle of the Werewolf and really loved it. I forgot how much I love how Stephen King writes kids. Surfing around I see a movie called Silver Bullet on AMC, and turns out it's based on book, so I know what I'm watching this afternoon. #AmReading

Saw this little guy on my walk this morning. Is it a Barred Owl or Spotted Owl?

Please donate! QMUNITY has ace and aro support groups and 55+ groups and activities too. They need help preparing for a huge increase in space.

Had a great Gamma Xi Phi event, now I'm watching the crazy that is 911.

Covid and flu shot booked for next week.

I'm pretty sure my ferritin is in the toilet again. Mostly because I just fell asleep twice this afternoon while doing things.

Decided to go spooky with my current read - Stephen King's Cycle of the Werewolf. #AmReading #CurrentlyReading #Books

Whoever created the Western Family turkey stuffing flavoured kettle chips, thank you.

I haven't seen Pulp Fiction, The Matrix, Rocky, Ghostbusters, Beetlejuice, The Sixth Sense, Toy Story or any of the Stars Wars other than the original 3.

Harvested all of my pumpkins (9!), all of the sunflowers got taken out, all the garden boxes are prepped except one (I need more cardboard). Still need to get a soil order to prep my garlic box.

It's hard finding a good replacement for Google Maps. I use it a lot in my writing, especially the street views and historical aerial maps in Google Earth.

He should go to jail not just for the scamming, but for the cologning.

Okay. I am going to sit down and I am going to Write New Things. #AmWriting

Physio wants me to get tested for hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome because I fit a lot of the criteria. Over/under on my doctor actually referring me to someone and not saying it doesn't matter since there's no cure and treatment is a lot of what I'm already doing?

Opened Book 2 for the first time in awhile. #AmWriting

Why are men fucking creeps? Was in a fast food place, sat at a table in the emptiest area away from all the people, and this cigarette smelling, stained shirt nightmare sits RIGHT NEXT TO ME. I got up and left. (And yes, checked multiple times to make sure he wasn't following me because CREEP).

I fucking hate all these people. Fuck off into the sun with your AI garbage. Which is all of it.

I need some Canadian #Writing and #WritingCommunity friends who are setting their books here. I have some questions about what I should do about using a real location (university). Use it, thinly veiled rename, create something totally new, pretend the real place doesn't exist ... #IndieAuthors

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see.

Okay, I just found out Maru, my favourite internet cat, died on September 6. It's official, folks. This year can die in a fire.

Had physio this morning so I feel like trash hit by a train. Also found a spider on me at the physio (he whacked it away artfully) and then one IN MY HAIR while I was in line at a store and ran my hands through and it fell off. Luckily I kept it together and didn't perform the spider dance.

So our old hot water tank was set to 140°. New tankless max is 120°. I was okay bathing in the fiery waters from hell.

50k plumbing job just resulted in a new carpet being needed. I got shorted on pay too. I am so tired.

I honestly don’t know if I want to continue writing my Sin City series.

Neck pain is so bad. Shoulders are really tight. We discovered I have crap external shoulder rotation.

Massive plumbing job starts Wednesday. Not fun for the wallet or the people.

Super happy to see Noah Wyle and Katherine LaNasa and The Pitt win Emmys tonight. So well deserved.

I'm watching Cycle 1 of America's Next Top Model and wooooo did this age badly. Weighing them on camera and announcing their weights to everyone and the camera? Bikini wax on camera? The saving grace is Elyse does not give two shits about this show.

I am eating a giant piece of terrible cake which is not helping me heal from the injury of my favourite bakery being closed.

For real, I am so mad. I just hate everything right now.

I just heard the bakery I go to is gone (Monarch in North Van). I don't want it to be true. It was a twin to the bakery near my grandma's I grew up with; it had some of the same tasting cookies and bread. It was like having my childhood back. This year can DIE IN A FIRE.

My back is really upset I gardened.

It's 22.5 C in my room and I am thrilled. Finally going to sleep and be comfortable!

Dolly Parton bloomed once and smelled amazing (my St. Patrick is blooming a second time now). The peony, dahlias, gladiolus, pansies and marigolds never came up. Sweet peas eventually did, but really tiny. Sunflowers are insane and attacking. All the veggies came up too. And we got poppies as well!

I actually won a goodreads giveaway. Last time I did was years and years ago.

I always appreciate a Canadian actor who doesn't move to LA and manages to have a fabulous career. RIP Graham Greene.

Went to update my Kobo firmware and now we're in a restart loop and I want to die.
