I’m going to be so disappointed if my whimsically strewn* little solar string lights don’t work. * I am very short and impatient and just really need that cozy little deck nook. It’s where the owls hang out.

I woke as a puddle this morning ; the only clue to me being a human was one half of my hair that was just curled off the side of my head. Full moon , perimenopause and 100% humidity.

I loved my bike as a youth in the country. I loved my aunt’s bike after I had got nicked on my bike (my fault and was very very lucky that day) I cannot fathom the hate for bike lanes here. I have a lot of time to look at traffic issues on my drive home. Bikes aren’t the issue.

I like when the big DIscard option comes up here. I appreciate its usefulness/chance for a little pause lol

I’m having so many tech problems today. Starting with being charged for gas I didn’t ask for at gas station and refusal to refund because I ‘ paid with my phone’ and laughing at me. Now Microsoft is being a bitch and making it impossible to do any work

Almost every single person who’s been to my relocated office space reacts to the lighting. Harsh. So harsh. And motion activated for extra fun lol A kind contractor did offer a few solutions though when occupying my office to get the air on.

A peculiar part of my day. My mother gave me this book , in the plastic and all. She too had a copy. Thank you ! Why ? Because someone local had bought a seacan worth of items at an auction and there were loads of those books in the seacan.

It is a weirdly calm before the storm kinda night in Lake Loon. I just really wanted to drift off to a deep refreshing slumber tonight. It used to be my Gramma waking me during a thunderstorm. With rubber boots and gloves on and rosary beads. She was so scared of those storms.

What a great drive home it was today. I was silently enraged. Took me a bit over an hour to get home with exactly a half hour spent going from parking lot on Queen to ramp to bridge .

Made one of those kinda mistakes at work that I will 100% dwell on just long enough that it’ll not happen again. Unless brain fog.

I’m the kind of tired today that I’m getting weepy wanting to go into a cocoon. Unfortunate that won’t happen for me today 😂

I fell asleep while watching Saint-Pierre on Gem last night. It was not because it was boring and not because I was watching a short film / commercial. It was because I almost passed out when I realized a character was Sonja Smits.

I get cross at planners I don’t even know about planning in urban areas - which I also don’t know - every time I have to go near or through the Cogswell area . It took me an hour to get home today . A half hour was spent going from Morris st to barrington , traffic was so jacked .

What a shit show of a day lol I’ll take what little pride I have left and accept the compliments and laughter that my messaging during the power outage and eventual restoration boosted morale. Happy Friday !

I wonder if the power went out in my dark office because every night I think about how mad I am at the power utility

Hit a wall today. I was thinking in my head how to ask someone for something and all I could muster up was Hi <so and so> Could you please send me that thing so I can fill out the other thing to send to the people so they can send me other things to fill out and the money ? Egads .

This morning already feels like yesterday and still a lot to get done . But …I started off my day on a lake , incorporating some ceremony into our work. Thanking the lakes from which we sample in an effort to protect them. Big thanks to a young colleague for the smudge 💕

The backyard birds were alive with the sound of music until a minute ago. The peepers are on stage now . Mama and The 3 bears might close the night.

The eerily similar teen version of myself has been whistling all day. And I’m not up for arguing with any sort of version or offshoot of my teenage self. Not tonight, Satan 🤣

My kids seem to turn into nocturnals around this time of the year. And it feels like winter right now so Ma wants to crawl into bed and drift away by like 9 pm 😂 But I keep being disturbed. Mostly wondering what snack they’re having.

I just emailed someone named Sun and then the sun peeked out for a few minutes.
