Yesterday's @hfxgov.bsky.social Halifax Transit tomfoolery. These were the options for me for a midday errand. This time the winning choice was to drive, I clustered a few other errands like dropping off to donation bins to make it "worth" it.
A screenshot of Google maps. The route is from the Colby Village area to the corner of Cole Harbour Road and Cumberland Drive. The choices are: 6 minute drive, 31 minutes by bus, 39 minutes to walk, or 12 minutes to bike.

If you've been forced to work from the office and your boss complains about the traffic this morning, ask them why they think there might be traffic?

I ended up choosing the combination walk and bus. 20min first spent walking the complete opposite direction of the traffic flow to my end destination. A total of 15min riding, between 2 buses. Door-to-door time: 54 minutes. Various factors made this the winning option in the end - this time.

This is the best way I can describe how @hfxgov.bsky.social Halifax Transit is complete garbage for anything other than travelling to the downtown peninsula. 9 min drive, or 1h and 5 min walk or ... 56 minutes by bus (which includes 23 minutes of walking). 1/

Not sure if this will be therapeutic, effective, or simply aggressive... But when I come across something in my house that someone didn't complete, I am snapping a photo, marking on it how long it took me to correct, and sending it our digital photo frame in the kitchen.
A brown and beige sink vanity in a bathroom with purple walls. Across the counter are 4 skin care products and a towel. Edited onto the image is the words "15 seconds" in white text, with 4 red arrows drawn, pointing to the clutter.A laundry and utility room. On the left, a vertical laundry sorting rack. On the right, in front of the white washer in dryer is a full red cloth hamper and a full white plastic hamper. Edited on top in pink text is the words "3 min" and two pink arrows drawn pointing to the hampers.

Apparently Hilroy's QC has needed some support for a while. Found this gem while doing some paperwork clearout. It's at least 3 years old based on the kiddo/grade matchup, but the scribbler itself could be older.
A used and marked up pink Hilroy 32 page scribbler, closed on a white desk, showing the cover page. OP's hand is covering the "name" section.The pink scribbler cover is pulled back halfway, to reveal a pristine blue scribbler cover underneath.The pink cover is held all the way open to show the blue cover bound to the scribbler as well.

I have had a recent experience with Nova Scotia Health care that I can only describe as perfect. Our health care system leaves a lot to be desired. Especially by way of equity access, preventative care, female health, and mental health. 1/

The sweetest girl had a vet check-up this morning and I decided to buy her and her brother a toy. The photo on the packaging! Couldn't help but attempt an inspired photoshoot when we got home 😻
A collage of photos. The background is red and has a pink heart. The bottom left corner photo is a small square with a yellow border. The photo is the toy packaging, which features a grey tabby cat playing with a toy lobster and a toy turtle. The middle photo is a rectangle with a pink border. It's a grey tabby cat sitting on a beige ceramic floor with the same two toys. The top photo is a round photo. The border is a blue wiggly line. The same ceramic floor and grey tabby cat, lying down with the toys closer to her body. The tabby cat in the pink and blue bordered photos look a lot like the grey tabby on the product packaging!

Bucket list ✅ Seeing RENT performed by a professional cast! Neptune Theatre blew it away last night. Such a creative idea with Mark's camera. I knew Geordie Brown was the perfect casting choice for Mark - honestly, the whole casting department nailed it.

Today, the other baseball moms are keeping me sane. One picked up a spare iced coffee on the way to the field, and another offered to pick up my merch order with hers in the middle of our game. These pieces of kindness and teamwork are why I love living at the ballfield all summer!

I sincerely apologize. I misread the MLB App and tried to troll my husband jokingly and then Bregman hit that homer in the bottom of the 9th. It's my fault.

My kids have been gone for 4 nights. My husband and I have gone on 3 dates, prepped a room for a paint-over, worked at our jobs more hours than "needed" and still had time to relax and start perusing our next big family vacation. This is what "not everyone has the same 24h in a day" really means!

Break the cycle... This has got to be a better option for me than turning into a naggy rage monster for the next 3 weeks. $20 says each of the 3 picks a different tactic, and I still incur a massive mental load, but at least I have a "you picked this!" to point to?
A letter-size coil notebook is open on a blue couch, with a multi-colour striped blanket in the background. The notebook page says:

"Hey Fam, it's me, Mom. You know. The one who gets really anxious and snappy leading up to a trip because there are 73 kazillion things running through my brain, at least half of which are details that won't matter in the long run? Anyhoops... I don't want to get like that before our upcoming AWESOME trip to [redacted], so I need your help! I will need to have you do some tasks and prep that aren't "on Skylight". 

How would this work best for you? Mark your name next to which idea you like most:

1: Give me the whole list at once, with a deadline marked on it
2: Give me 1-2 specific things to do each day
3: Pick a day (together) and we will get it all done at once 
4: Something fun like all the tasks in a bucket and I will get them all done before the deadline.

If you start crying when you tell the library staff how impactful the $5 of free printing / month is for people who need resources and supports because of losing jobs, and how you refer those you work with to libraries at least 3-4 times a month for this service alone, you might be anti-capitalist.

When I cruised @todmaffin.com's Canadian snacks listing and decided to place an order for crackers because, duh, I was not prepared for this note when I opened the box. Go buy! carbsbakery.com
A shipping invoice from Carbs Sourdough Crackers is laid out, on a brown table. Underneath the shipping information is a handwritten note in black ink that says "Grace, Thanks so much for placing your first online order with us. We hope you love our sourdough crackers and can'5 wait to see which ones are your favorites. - Arthur"

As much as the end result of last night's Jays game was disappointing, it was an entertaining and balanced game overall. Springer Dinger, Clement 3R HR, a Canadian pitcher having a wonderful MLB debut for the Jays, and some great defensive efforts on a tough field.

Teen has finally earned and saved up enough cash for a long-awaited goal. Bridge closed + price of gas = no freaking way am I travelling all over HRM for no reason. Result? A lesson in calling stores and asking questions! I will be on speaker to write the answers down. Baby steps, y'all.

"Do you have any DS in stock?"
"What models and price?"
"What colour?"
"What time are you open until today?"

When I was about 8 years old, I was in the backseat with a friend and her little sister. I was reading a Garfield comic. Lil Sis kept saying "I don't like this story", then promptly threw up all over me. Tonight I am Lil Sis, and the Jays game is the Garfield comic. 🥺
