I’m always excited to get my notification that someone has blocked me. I must be doing something right. 😆
Well I wanted to buy my daughter a sweater at Marks. It says one is in stock. Great. But when I try to do store pick up, it is out of stock. $8.50 shipping.
Never mind.

When you discover that the smart version of you bought very nice Christmas wrapping paper last year. And a box of bows from Costco. And bags. Might need a little tissue paper and tape but I am pretty much set.

I am such a softie. Crying at the Christmas episode of All Things Great and Small.
My own Christmas is going to be rough this year. That reality rears its head more and more.

Never will I understand “fans” of billionaires. What is the goal? Do you think they will help you? Do you think you will become one?
Saw someone defending why they can’t pay taxes. WTF?

Time Magazine? 🤦🏼♀️
Time Magazine quoting a @thebeaverton.com article about the US shooting a "patriot missile" at Parliament Hill like it's something Pete Hoekstra actually said might be my favourite moment of the week. Congrats, @ianmmacintyre.bsky.social, you very serious reporter! www.cbc.ca/news/world/b...

In a recent article about the United States' strained relationships with other countries, Time Magazine included a made-up quote from Canadian satire site The Beaverton — seemingly as fact.

I am having lunch with a friend at my favourite local restaurant and then attending craft fair number 5 this season.
Doing my part to support local makers. I have purchased many stocking stuffers and gifts at the markets.

Decided to watch House of Dynamite. Way too tense in these current times. But of course I have to watch the whole thing now.

I am watching All Things Great and Small (not the original the remake) and it is just such a lovely peaceful show.
It goes with my obsession with Escape to the Country I guess. True comfort shows.

When will I learn. Following a recipe online. It doesn’t look right. After I pop it in the oven I see a note.
I should have doubled the recipe for my pan. 🤦🏼♀️

Lizza said Olberman paid for Nuzzi to attend college, and she did not attend college as any kind of mature student – here's a piece from 2013 where she is recorded as a junior at Fordham at 20 years old

Today’s day after reformer class pain is my abdominal muscles. Or what’s left of them. The good news is my legs are fine and the back/shoulders discomfort is minimal.
A good day to do some yoga.

I made sheet pan chicken and vegetables and it was so good. The simplest meal and healthy too. And the cookies I baked yesterday are much better today.
Or I am just really hungry.

Doing pilates I have realized I have no core strength. The rest I am decent, legs, arms, back. I guess it’s time to start figuring out how to rebuild it.

This weekend has been particular tough thinking about my parents not being here. I think it is the decorating and preparing. First Christmas without Mom is hitting harder than I expected. Lots of tears.
