Fun thing about watching TV downstairs is that the dogs INSIST on coming too despite an inconveniently small couch 🥰
TBRing SO HARD

Knocked down a longstanding nuisance of a weed tree in the corner of the carport 💪💪💪 I have gotten SO MUCH DONE these past couple days it's kind of scary??? Am I possessed or am I just avoiding writing 🤔
I dreamed that (1) 12yo had swimming lessons I forgot all about and (2) I got backyard chickens and then realized the yard wasn't properly fenced and had to chase after escapees while trying to garden
OK I get it, that was too many items on the to do list yesterday 💀 jeez subconscious
Man how is it 1030?? Ugghhh note to self, this has been too steep of a to do list for one day 💀
Oops forgot one!
Steak: infrequently, bc I'm the only one in the house who can eat it, but medium rare, yum
Eggs: Scrambled
Milk: Big sad nope. Oat for tea and almond for cereal
Alcohol: Another big sad nope. I miss my Strongbow 😭
Warm drink: Tea. Earl Grey. Hot. With oat milk and sugar
Eggs: Fried and gooey not runny
Steak: Medium
Milk: Whole, Cow
Alcohol: Rarely for the last six months, Paloma
Warm drink: Decaf black tea with milk
I have spent the whole day DOING STUFF that required business hours or daylight and my focus is flagging BUT NOW for some notebook scribbling for tomorrow's workshop finally 😬😬😬
Thank you!! ❤️ and ikr?!? I was so stoked to get a spot w this artist - bc, well, now THERE'S a wizard
PSA: coverup tattoos are pretty heckin magical! I actually still liked that armband but wanted to make better use of the prime real estate 💪 and now you can't even tell anything else was ever there!
reminder: Harry Potter tattoos have a higher regret rate than trans surgeries and that's very funny actually
FUCKING leaf blowers man!!! Down with two-stroke gas engines for EVER
Well THAT's one HELL of a central metaphor @agawilmot.bsky.social. What a fascinating take on a haunted house.
🤞🤞🤞 I replaced like half the soil w compost and fresh dirt so hopefully I get more than 2 sad little tomatoes this year lol
The vegetable box RIDES AGAIN with fresh dirt and chives divided into like 10 chunks, one to replant and the rest for the neighbours to take
Chaos lurks on in the form of virginia creeper and weed trees and a few sneaky tendrils of poison ivy BUT that is a to do list for another day 💪
OK time for clothes and errands 💪💪💪 Braving Lee Valley and Canadian Tire on the holiday weekend 🤪 but NOT buying plants except a few herbs, w the intert00bz as my witness!!!
Nahhh if I wanted to be instagrammy I'd need a background of, like, flowers on a nice table w sunshine coming through curtains or smthg lol
BEHOLD my BREAKFAST OF VIRTUE
it was preceded by a cookie but you know, no need to shock the system
I have posted this song at my brother before because it is magnificent and so is he
youtu.be/r_5KKrjjKAE?...
Like fuck right off with anything resembling a generative "assistant"
But this thing where I can circle smthg on my screen (word, image, whatever) and thereby have the phone look it up? DAMN
I am v much a trailing edge technology kind of girl unless forced to upgrade by, say, dropping my damn phone on the front steps
And I gotta say the fancypants new phone has a zillion little intuitive conveniences that I'm a little boggled by
Colour me impressed and also suspicious
Right?!? It would be out in the garden, but some loser has been known to steal them, SO
Family logistics conspired against going to the rally downtown, but at least I snagged this glorious sign at a parent meetup; 12yo immediately commandeered it for their window 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
15yo: Man I hate those super modern houses. Ugly cubes.
Me: You will be assimilated.
15yo: What is that from again? Dr Who?
Me: WHAT
15yo: You know, the daleks?
Me: OH MY GOD
MY CHILD
15yo: I'm sorry!
Me: I HAVE FAILED YOU
15yo: What's it from then?
Me: YOUR EDUCATION HAS BEEN INADEQUATE
15yo: MOM
I spent the day planting my mom's plants while she's away and sent her this evidence

Right?!? It's from www.voidmerch.net !!
I laughed so hard 15yo yelled down the stairs MOM IT'S NOT EVEN 8 IN THE MORNING
When I was 7, my teacher told us to write an article about “world cultures” for school over the weekend. I remembered it late on Sunday so in a panic I made up something called the "Icelandic Fish Festival", figuring said teacher wouldn’t know either way.
