Every day is a good day for this song, these days.

I keep wondering if, during the coming war, our phones will be tracking us so they can kill us more efficiently. Would Apple release that info to the fascists so they can target us? Would Samsung? Their phones use Google. We all know where the tech folks stand with Trump.

OMG The Traitors US is soooo fun. It’s saving me right now. S1 is goood. And I love Alan.

I thought the quake was a truck at first, but I didn't see it and went "that's an earthquake" lol. I actually got up and went to the doorway and was chatting with my mom and it was still going. Probably a good 15 seconds or more. This is the third one I've felt since Sep.

Earthquake?!?! Holy shit that was something

Just made a big Vesey's order for some seeds I was lacking plus an awesome self watering seed starting kit! I'm going to get bunching onions and a few others going as soon as I get it. I'm also thinking of digging out more lawn space for more planting area. (I hate digging lol) #Gardening

These fucking Poilievre commercials! I HATE THAT GUY. He's disgusting. His voice sounds like slime and scum had a baby. Greasy, oily, lying motherfucker.

Today plans include: reading Gidget, working on my crocheting, editing Ch 24 in my effort to Canadianise my book, catch up on The Pitt and Drag Race and plan out my garden for this year.

I'm still too juiced to go to bed. Maybe some late night rewriting/editing in my future.

Canadian hockey fans rn

SUCK IT RUSSIA!! I MEAN AMERICA! WHATEVER, SAME DIFFERENCE.

Trump: I have nothing to do with Project 2025! Also Trump: www.project2025.observer

Seriously thinking about putting together a war kit. Iodine tablets, hunting knives, trauma med kit, lifestraw, sleeping bag, rain ponchos, hatchet, MREs, etc.

If you use Shopify, I will not buy from you. thelogic.co/news/exclusi...

I love Alan Cumming, so I have no idea why I've never watched Traitors until just now. This is SO fun and cheesy I love it.

'Magnus' dragged himself to safety and was found by a Good Samaritan after a truck hit the cat, causing a 'severe right tibia fracture'

Wait ... so there are only 8 episodes of North of North? And I'm finished the show now? And there's no more? NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Finished the re-write on Ch 19. I realized going back at previous chapters that I've been changing a few things on the fly, then changing them again, and so I have conflicting info now. It will definitely need some more going over when I'm done to smooth it all out. #WritingCommunity #AmEditing

Seventeen chapters re-written/edited to my new setting. It's going pretty well, but I know when I get to the whole "car theft ring" scenes I'll drive myself crazy trying to pick out locations here.

Kitty's had a few setbacks, but today he tried to rescue me from the water machine (the bathtub) and he's climbed under the warming pad I got him for Christmas, so I guess he's feeling okay πŸ˜‚

That poem I found that I couldn't remember writing? I remember it now! I wrote it the night of the US election, which explains the blackout I had lol.

Sometimes in this rewrite things just move along, and then you hit a spot where you're like "Hmm. Where are they going to do that here??" and you spend 3 hours with maps trying to figure it out.

Sixteen chapters done in my rewrite so far. It's making me giddy.

Sue is my favourite character in Da Vinci's Inquest and I really hope nothing bad happens to her, this whole Brian Curtis thing makes me nervous. (I'm in S6 now)

Kitty seems to finally be better. No pee parades for 4 days, and he is currently asleep ON MY BED. I haven't seen him visit my room in weeks. He also had the zoomies, jumped up on the table, jumped from the table to the cat tree. Going to cut down on one med today and see if this holds.

Trying to find an email replacement for Gmail is HARD. I use Thunderbird as my email client and access Gmail via POP3 access (an use IMAP on my phone). So web Gmail acts as an archive and I can delete from Thunderbird all I want without actually losing email. POP3 access is hard to find now though.

If a body was buried in a yard could you still have a food garden nearby? Like how deep is good to be safe?

Just realized the Laura Maitland storyline on Da Vinci's Inquest was inspired by the Cindy James case.

OMG the obscure Canadian songs I am finding from the late 80s/early 90s are sending me! (Mae Moore, World on Edge, Spunkadelic, Darby Mills, Acosta Russell ...)

The downside of rewriting my book to Canadian and the characters to my age, is I am hunting up songs of the era and it's making me super nostalgic and sad. I miss the early 90s.
