I walk a friends dog a few times a week. Today I went and picked him up, when I got back they weren’t home (my friends partner works from home). I don’t have a key, they buzz me in. So now two hours later I still have a dog. We’re just hanging out until someone gets home

I’m at my parents for a couple of days. They have my piano sitting in their basement because I have no space for it in my own home. I haven’t had it to play for 6 yrs. I miss it

Like how do you not look at something like these and just immediatly imagine what their lives were like? Were they kind, what were their struggles, what was day to day like…..I find portraits fascinating

So it looks like Dallas Brodie is taking a page from Doug Ford’s idiotic playbook and is calling for the removal of Bike Lanes in Vancouver. I really hope the province stays in its proverbial lane and residents push back against her stupidity

Went to Book Warehouse on the way home from a kids medical appt. They had “mystery books” on sale for $10. Book was wrapped in brown paper with a 2 line description. I bought one. Got myself a cute little historical cozy mystery. Gonna enjoy reading this out on the balcony today

I just finished listening to a really fantastic book: The Road to Tender Hearts by Annie Hartnett. It’s just a story. Story about a guy, but it’s a fantastic story. Highly recommend reading or listening to it. The narrator was perfection. It’s available at the VPL via Libby.

I’m not sure why my parents never took us with them when they travelled to NWT. I should go and I should definitely go to NFLD.

Why can’t we have nice things like electrified train travel? Even Go Train suing diesel is so ridiculous. It should be electrified. And OMG if I cannot stand hearing chuds talk about snow making it impossible. It is entirely possible, we just refuse to make changes and we are getting left behind

There is a silent auction at the event that I am at, and while it’s insane and the amount of money being bid on things is crazy, there is one item that is the weirdest/craziest thing I have ever seen available in a silent auction: an audience with the Pope

More cops at the end of Davie and Marinaside, only I guess it’s so dangerous down here trying to move people towards patios that they need the tactical gear while they stand around and talk to each other

Went out for a walk to check out Granville and the FIFA festivities. 1) the street should be pedestrian only all the time 2) cops are grifters. This many cops on every corner, standing together chatting/pm phones. No doubt t they will ask for a bigger budget next yr /c of all the overtime this yr

These two photos of my handsome boy, Scout popped up in my Facebook memories today. I miss that boy every dang day(he’s been gone for 5 yrs). He was the best boy a girl could have asked for. I desperately want another handsome boy but my landlord sucks and keeps saying no.

Cutting funding to libraries, archives, and museums limits access to knowledge and shared history. These institutions preserve culture, support research, and serve communities. Cuts risk lost records and weakens feeling of community. They are essential to a healthy democracy.

The kids indoor vball career has come to an end. I’m sad that I am not going to get to watch her play competitively again. She is an amazing athlete and made me a very proud Mom. She worked hard and played with integrity. I hope she can find something that brings her as much joy as vball has

How is she still involved in public health in anyway after Covid? Why were these people brought here? And why did they have to get on a plane, why couldn’t they have quarantined where they were? And why only 21 days when the incubation period is much longer. She’s going to kill us.

So FIFA is shutting down the road that I use to get in and out of downtown in 1 wks for basically the whole summer. They sent this out last wk. I haven’t gotten a pass and you still cannot request extra passes online. They expect to be able to get these passes out to people in less than 2 wks

Woot woot. Was at Provincial Vball championships for the past two days. Kids team has struggled all year and were going in to provincials ranked last in their division. They dug deep and pulled out the win for gold. My kid is so happy she finally won something after a long 4 yrs in club vball
