Same. I double checked all my info on line a month or two ago. When I showed up to vote, I was on the list, but they still made me fill out the form and sign it in front of them.
(Hearts to all election workers!)

I love that when my birdcam clocks a deer, it labels it as "pet"

I wish I could phone my glasses so I would know where I left them.

I wasn't going to mop the front entryway, but then I turned the light on. Oof. Done now, anyway.

My sister-in-law offered to take Honey's army jacket and have it cleaned. Is it weird that I just like it better looking old and skanky?

We're number one! We're number one!
I shall be having a donair from Liberty this evening for supper 😀

Purple Hightops @purplehightops.bsky.social · 1d

I used to say that we had the second best donairs in Alberta in my town. But nope, I was in Grande Prairie last week, and for the third time, the donair from Twisters was not good.

Totally went off script on a cranberry bread recipe! I feel like it should be awesome. Added some things, skip some things. Didn't mess with the flour and yeast, so...
I guess we will see!

Whenever I pack up some of Honey's clothes/work gear to give away, I always end up keeping something that definitely does not fit me, and that I will never use. But whatever, I am hanging on to these cubbies.

I always use it for the microwave! Which I also did today. 😀

Saw a thing on the internet (so obviously it's true) that you can use lemon juice instead of vinegar to clean your coffee maker. Not that I have ever had an issue with using vinegar, but I have lemon juice on hand, so I'm giving it a shot. So far so good.

When my mum finally bought a smartphone a few years ago, I told her the only requirement was that it should be an android. But of course she bought an iphone. Three of the four of us kids use android, so my Apple brother got phone duty automatically assigned! 😄

I installed the free version of Remote Utilities on my mum's computer, so I can drive when necessary 😄

Five years ago, I made a video essay for Persons Day, exploring the problematic, complicated and vital legacy of the Famous 5. I haven’t shared it on Bluesky before. So on this Persons Day, here it is from my archives! #PersonsDay #FamousFive #yeg #yow #SenateofCanada #cdnpoli #Alberta #Vriend

The good news is that they are super yummy. Not pretty enough to take to the family do, but I'll eat them!

Purple Hightops @purplehightops.bsky.social · 9d

God dammit! Think my oven is on the fritz. Baking some buns to take to the family thing tomorrow. The tops look beautiful, everything else seems Raw..
Didn't do anything differently than I have done any other time...
