Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible. I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU. And create a common prosperity and economic security space.

Where do people go to find new recipes nowadays? I used to use Pinterest but it’s mostly AI crap now. #recipes #food

Went bowling last night for the first time in at least 20 years. I have not improved. How rude. The muscles are complaining today.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

Love curling up with a cup of coffee and a good thunderstorm in the morning. Nothing beats the smell of fresh rain.

So just to confirm: - Dissatisfied royal claimant to the UK throne returning from abroad. - A new king rises in Norway. - Heir to the Jacobite pretender consolidating power on the continent. cool cool. cool cool cool cool. cool cool. Hope everyone's been keeping up with their longbow practice.

Nothing hits quite like an anxiety induced cleaning spree before bed. I haven’t vacuumed this long or this well in over 2 years. I really don’t feel good.

I will fight to the death to defend every Canadian's right to learn the bare minimum amount of French up to Grade 10, and then vaguely hold onto bits and pieces of it through cultural osmosis and packaging labels.

I don’t want to go back to school again but seeing all the school supplies out makes me want to just so I can get new pens again. It’s a feeling.

I had hoped that I would sleep off this pressure headache and strange body feeling but instead I’m up with the birds and it’s still here. Also stepped in cat puke, so the day is starting off great. 😞

After an absolutely shit week, hubby gifted me a day to myself. Hit the Mason Cash jackpot at Winners, got a ton of Hallmark Christmas ornaments, a pedicure and was greeted back at home with a glass of bubbly, steak dinner and a forehead kiss. Ladies, he’s a winner. 😘

Currently sat outside in the sun, willing my curls to dry nice before the wedding I have this afternoon. Threatening them with straightener if they do not cooperate. Life as a curly girl.

The rain has given me quite the fibro flare & migraine. But the fresh cold air feels so good. Sat here under 2 blankets with the window wide open. Today was supposed to be productive. Guess not.

Made a creamy chicken taco pasta dish for dinner today. Sounds bizarre, cleaned out the pantry, and yet tastes amazing. Sometimes the “dump it all in” method really works.

Tons of containers of multi-coloured pansies, at a garden centre.

Don’t let anyone talk you out of spending $35 on plants.

That $82 will be the best $174 you have ever spent.

Doing a gluten/ food sensitivity challenge during a week where the weather is throwing migraines at me and I’m also pms’ing while in busy season at work is a special kind of hell. No idea how the doctors coming to any conclusions out of this one other than I’m broken

i'm just over it. give me policies. give me a manifesto. give me pledges, and then if you try to break them you don't get to say 'well you voted for this'. let me vote for something concrete, not a person and a think tank and polling.

I was all impressed at the husband who is making me chicken cordon bleu for lunches. And then I found out he was using Kraft cheese slices. Dude, those only qualify as cheese in a grilled cheese sandwich.

Woke myself up from a dream in which I was legit throwing a kicking, screaming, angry fit because I had been nice in the ice cream store line up and allowed people to go ahead of me and then they were sold out of the special edition ice cream I wanted. Analyze at your own risk.

This week has felt heavy. It’s dragged on. And keeps throwing curveballs. Bleh. At least tomorrow is Friday. And I’m intending on spending the weekend stress-shopping which will give me temporary joy.
