We had no Princess Auto stadium alert today (given as how I use that as a measure of visibility these days). We almost had No Pembina Highway alert today as well (which happened yesterday around 6 am)…

Went for a walk. I need to learn how to deal with Cold induced asthma better. But this also started due to cleaning the media room, so I’m dealing with environmental and cold induced asthma.

Things I found in my clean up: books I thought I’d bought but hadn’t seen in months, a copy of Don Quixote that I KNEW I had but couldn’t find, and a copy of Hidden Passions (signed by two of the cast of Passions).

Cleaning always gives me lung issues, but I have to keep doing it. Maybe I should stop cleaning with vinegar, but that’s the safest chemical I have for cats and humans alike.

Made storm pizza. I feel more stressed today than I did even before my exam…

My job on this now blizzarding Wednesday is to clean up the media room and decry my earlier attempts at organizing my cds under the bed. I’m hoping that once I declutter my bedroom, I’ll have space to do so once again. I should be crocheting, but my brain said clean.

Anachronism in vampire lore: it’s not garlic bulbs, it’s the flowers of the garlic that stave off vampires (at least in Dracula, on the England side). That explains a lot…
Oh, don’t mind me, I’m now doing my deep dive into vampires and their lore…

Why do I find one of the top literary stories camp? It’s camp!!! I mean, Dracula taking the mirror out of Johnathan’s hands an yeeting it out the window screams over dramatic.
Am I failing my media literacy again? Isn’t this supposed to be scary? It feels over the top!

I’m going to be real here, but I think that more effort should be put into clearing stairs, sidewalks and streets in Winnipeg so that people don’t have to test the laws of physics every winter. It’s great you want us to be up on our science game, but it hurts when it happens.

Exam went better than I expected from an experience point of view. Of course, had I not fallen down the stairs and hurting my ankle, it would have been drier. Sometimes I miscalculate my own coefficient of friction down snowy stairs…

Things I want to do: Go to Spain for the paleontology, go to the Isle of Wright for the geology and paleontology, and go to the Jurassic Coast… you guessed it, for the paleontology.
Things I won’t do: go to the US for any reason, despite the Hell’s Creek Formation being a days drive away.

It was shopping day and I managed to hurt my back while slipping into the vehicle. It was so stupid, but the poor way the city plowed Academy, I’m now suffering with a very sore back.

My day was: get up, go for a walk (it was snowing so perfectly!), come home, eat breakfast (I never feel hungry right as I wake up so I changed my eating habits), played Old Peace, made myself eat lunch (it was 2, so yeah), studied, made supper, played a bit of Warframe, studied, cleaned…

Stress dreams are funny. Mine just ranged from having a break up with my current partner the reconciliation with them and then being hit on by someone who overheard our reconciliation, to having to write write a math exam instead of a bio exam.

It’s just me and my stuffed bear Brucie against my brain tonight. Maybe we should read a book instead of having an anxiety attack. I think Brucie agrees, reading and putting down the infinite information device should help get decent sleep.

Did I study? Yes. Did I watch the snow fall? Also yes. Am I happy it is snowing decently? Absolutely yes.
We need at least 2 feet to give the roots a break, and our trees a decent nap time. That’s all I want.

I have always had bad spelling. Since I was a kid, spelling tests (and mad minutes) were the death of me.
Today’s note recopy has me reviewing beetles. My brain wants to spell it Beatles. I know the difference… but why when I’m trying to write and I’m not paying attention, I do this!

I don’t know what the makers of Sheba put into their cat food, but my picky female cat is all over it, where as my non picky male cat doesn’t want anything to do with it.
Quite the reversal than normal in this house.

I’ve been taking this week to review my notes for the final. On Monday I start reading them out loud.
I’m approaching ecology like this is the thing I’ve been missing from my life and it’s my favourite thing. Rocks are fantastic, but we can learn so much more about the time frame with them!

And it caught me. I was so excited to finally get through to Christmas and out the other side, but…
I was too cocky, thinking I’d get over this. I’m better than I was, but…
I’m just glad it snowed…

So far, I’m about 9/10ths done Yule shopping. A couple small things for my partner (nothing too fancy), and another ball of navy yarn. Other than that, we’re good. This means, this next week we’ll be 100% done. Funny thing, my sibling in law’s part 1 of the present arrived today.

As someone who has noticeable hearing loss, I refuse to consider a cochlear implant (not that I’m saying it shouldn’t be offered, I just won’t do it to myself is all).
Now saying that, if I wouldn’t get a cochlear implant for my hearing, what do you think I’d say about Neurolink? NO x infinity.
