Things that are making me pissy today: The selling-out of my favorite race car series, The politicization of my favorite race car series, Retailers who have put Halloween candy out already knowing I have no will power.

The only thing getting me through the 30+ tornado warnings is my new bottle of Lorazepam. #Winnipeg #TornadoWarnings

The jar I have been filling for 20+ years with random nuts, bolts & screws actually held the right screw to replace the one that fell between the deck boards while putting the new BBQ together. The other half said "no way one from that jar would fit". One did. I feel so validated.

I frequent thrift stores to find textiles to upcycle into my bags (and other fun stuff) Today I find a vintage Jets 1.0 fleece. $6 on a blue tag. MAJOR SCORE! Just need a quick hem fix. Get to the cash - blue tags $1.00. Today is fashion Friday & all clothes 50% off. 50 cents. Major major score.

Must be 50+ robins in the yard and slightly grumpy about this weather.

Shoveled yesterday's snow just now in the rain. That was weird. #Winnipeg

Freeing up some space on my phone so deleting old pics. Amazing how many pics of labels I had taken just to enlarge them so I could actually see what they said. Getting old. Fun times.

When people tell you that getting fillings replaced "Shouldn't be too bad" slap those MF"s up the side of the head. 23 hours later, bruised cheek, can't open my jaw and ear is ringing. The fillings were likely 40 years old, 2 molars beside each other and what felt like at the back of my head.

Now I can say I have in fact seen a squirrel drinking a juice box in a tree

Went shopping today. I saw things....

Carrie McKinnon @carriemckinnon.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

Making 1 of 2 carrot cakes for Thanksgiving. Panic has set in. Did I put in 2 cups of flour or 3? I think I put 3. I only needed 2. I hope I don't have a do-over pending...... Guess I'll find out in 20 minutes when I pull the first one out of the oven. Damn.

Carrie McKinnon @carriemckinnon.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

Pre-making 100 meatballs for thanksgiving (mixing rolling, baking - you get the idea) after getting both my Covid & flu shots today (one in each arm) was not the best planned out schedule of events for the day. Arms both hurt and have a headache. But those meatballs ain't gonna roll themselves...

I was today's year old when I realized the "pina" in pina colada meant pineapple. #TheMoreYouKnow

Me right now. Enjoying the leaf free yard for the next few hours.....

Dug my first trench today. Do not recommend.

September 1st is Ginger Cat Appreciation Day. Here is Archie. He's kind of an ass, but adorable.

My cat Archie is all ready for the next Coldplay concert.

This was literally me 10 minutes ago. I guess I'm old now.

I for one, am excited Portage & Main is opening to pedestrians. I mentioned this to my Mom today and she said: "People should walk above ground while they can, because we'll all spend enough time underground when we're dead'. Embrace the change peeps. #ShitMyMomSays #Truth

My hood is having yard sales galore tomorrow! Starting at 8 to beat the rain. Come shop!

The happiest picture on the internet.

Voted! And then I went & picked up Mom and took her to her polling station so she could vote too. (I had to make sure she didn't let a little cold weather stop her from casting her vote)! Now to decide what supper will pair best with a night of election results on TV.

Hmmm...appears I was visited by some kind of hawk.

Sitting on my deck with the sun in my face. Feels so good.

Some days I fall in love with this city all over again. Even while freezing my butt off.

Carrie McKinnon @carriemckinnon.bsky.social · 06/04/2025

Bird feeders are filled. The backyard is open for business... (I'm still afraid to put the shovels away - but maybe if it truly gets to 17 by the weekend I'll feel safe enough then)

Carrie McKinnon @carriemckinnon.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

What an insane rambling old man. I'm cringing watching the orange goon on my TV right now.

Because a 930 start wasn't going to be bad enough...let's throw a ceremony in before the start. #gojetsgo

I think I made the cashier's day going through the checkout at superstore this morning. Time to make Easter baskets for all the wee ones. Except the pig. That's for my mom to make her laugh.

Carrie McKinnon @carriemckinnon.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

There's a reason they call this heart-attack snow. Careful shoveling today. The exertion can kill you. #MBstorm

Did you know that there is a Mustang all electric compact SUV? (Mustang Mach-E) Well, there is, and I now call this one mine. It still blows my mind that I won't be pumping gas into my guzzler of an F150 any longer. Lots to get used to and I'm going to enjoy figuring it all out. Giddy-up.

There's 2 of these beautiful big birds in my old tree.

I don't really love movies, and I don't hate movies. But Mickey 17 was the worst most boring piece of crap movie I have ever seen in my life. We nearly walked out because it was so bad. The 2 hour 17 minutes was about 2 hours too long. Sheesh.

I'm not feeling very springy this morning with the time change.

When you try to have a real conversation about tub caulk with your partner... "Cdn tire doesn't have the right caulk there" "No that's the caulk applier, not the caulk removal tool" And the grand slam "I'm coming to Rona with you so I can carry your caulk around the store..."

Carrie McKinnon @carriemckinnon.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

Yes we are. Cheers to all you wonderful women.

Ahhhh memoriea ... 1 year since Toto graced us with their presence (finally) in Winnipeg.
