The 2026 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

I want to stay awake and see if either runner makes the fun run cut off. But I also want to get up for 6 to watch the bobsledding. Ugh. #bm100

And the course wins again.

My dinner will be here soon and my family will have to deal with me hitting refresh through the whole meal. #bm100

Loop one runner could have, conceivably left the park, spent the night at the closest motel and run back in the time they were gone on loop one. #BM100

Submitting my #kittykontent for the #BM100 Artemis is keeping me company on the couch while we root for team Canada in the Olympics and RatJaw in the Barkleys.

This first loop is a doozy. #bm100

Between the Olympics and the #BM100, my little Canadian brain is full this weekend. Good thing I don't need sleep.

I haven't been on bsky for awhile. Thank goodness someone on tiktok told me the Barkley's have started!! I missed a loop!!

I finished washing the sheets and remaking the bed and thought "oh good, the kids are playing quietly. I'll put on some YouTube and maybe close my eyes for five minutes" So naturally the kids are now competing to see who can make the most obnoxious noise.

Ugh. It's four degrees. And there's a windchill. Fall certainly arrived with a bang in New Brunswick.

29 feeling like 37 at bedtime is not awesome. The power being out over dinner and half the evening is not awesome. Attempting to sleep with the AC on is very not awesome. However, I did get a very short visit with my uncle I haven't seen in years. And that was awesome.

Went for a hike with the kids today. Only bird I saw. #birding #newbrunswick

I'll just quickly print a new copy of this, I say. My printer:

My dog is not scared of the fireworks tonight. He's just annoyed they're disturbing his sleep. Happy Canada Day

I can't be the only one who cannot go to the bathroom because I'm waiting on a repair man and what if I'm peeing when he comes and that would be so embarrassing. He'd have to WAIT for me.

So the trick to get the 5 year old to school is for them to have a bouncy castle. Unfortunately, I doubt I can convince them to rent one for the entire school year.

5 year old likes to listen to a very specific 4 minute piano lullaby all night while she sleeps. Somehow the transition to the very similar piano song I have for my alarm actually does wake me up. But not the kids. Brains are weird.

😂🤣😂 ELBOWS UP!! #MarkCarney #turtleisland #indigenous #Canada #cdnpoli @canadiangreens.bsky.social @liberal-party.bsky.social @ndp.ca #Alberta #abpoli #Ontario #onpoli #Quebec #pqpoli #BritishColumbia #bcpoli #Manitoba #mbpoli #skpoli #pepoli #nspoli #nbpoli #nlpoli #nupoli #ntpoli #ytpoli

The election is over, so am I going to have to admit that the lack of sleep is a me-problem now? I'm so tired.

Well, it's not the overwhelming mandate I wanted. It makes me sort of sick how many Canadians want garbage American style politicians. But it sure was fun to wake up and watch PP go bye bye. #cdnpol

It's voting day in Canada. Back in November I was absolutely sure that Harris would pull it off, that people couldn't possibly be that stupid. But y'all disabused me of that notion. And I am biting my nails in fear today. Canada, please don't be as stupid as them. We just can't. Elbows up, eh?

Tomorrow, Canada will decide between a between a world-wide respected leader, experienced in guiding countries through national crises & a Trump puppet. Check your riding at votewell.ca or smartvoting.ca to see if you need to #VoteStrategically. #CdnPoli #CdnElxn #Elxn2025 #ElbowsUp #CanadaStrong

Had a really birdy morning walk. Even found my bird of the day, which I've only seen on our street once before.

YOU FUCK WITH ONE OF US YOU FUCK WITH ALL OF US.

Alright. I got snacks. I got yarn. I've walked the dog. I'm all set for a two hour video about the JFK files.

Ah yes. Spring.

Americans be like #cdnpoli #elbowsup

Some #kittykontent as I wait patiently to see if Frozen Head Park has trolled us all. #barkelycats #bm100

Behold. An extremely fluffy tabby cat. Not any special breed. Just fluffy.

I book the kids' appointments for early morning because it's when I have the most spoons. But it also means I spend my mornings running around like the proverbial headless chicken when we actually have to go to these appointments.

Daylight savings, the Monday back after March break. And I have to wake up a 5 year old who already dislikes getting ready for school. Pray for me.

This was lovely to see. Good job New Brunswick liquor. And the delicious local beer I treated myself to.

He thinks this grassy spot is his personal promenade.

Putin started the war with Ukraine. Putin is the dictator not Zelenskyy. And Trump is a lying fucking c*nt. And anyone standing with Trump and Putin are traitors. #SlavaUkraine #IStandWithUkraine

I found the tiktok of the rescue that saved our boy. And I'm reminded of Fishtopher, who taught us that to be loved is to be changed.

Me: which part of I don't want to pick you up are you struggling with? My 3 year old: the why are you sitting down then bit. Must be time for the daily Mom Is Not Furniture lesson.

Made homemade playdoh for my youngest. Cool. Problem is, the dog thinks it's food and won't stop drooling over it. Even after we stole a nibble, he wants more.

The tech at the dentist just turned off the tv for the radio because "no one needs to watch The View while having a filling."

I'm losing it at the amount of people who are shocked that Canadians are booing and boycotting American products and teams. Did y'all expect us to roll over and take shit? This is the Find Out portion. 🇨🇦

Imbolc doesn't mean much when the ground will be frozen for another 3 months, but I still see it as a sign that I've survived the darkest part of winter and light is on the horizon. And we all need that this year. Imbolc blessings to all. (And Lammas to those in the south)

I live for the day when my youngest child decides she can sit on the furniture instead of on me. #OneDay

If you see this, post your favourite flower.

It is a freeze the snot right in your nose type of morning. My poor dog I adopted from Texas is a very unhappy boy.
