cocoa got bows on her ears at the groomer. i tried to take a photo of cocoa and her bows. this is the result. she’s a girl’s girl but she’s not a girly girl. (the bows have been removed.)

are new drivers not taught the kindness of pulling over for funeral processions? a bunch of us were pulled to the side of the road this afternoon and two cars drove by without a care.

i have a new neighbour moving into the basement apartment next door ... sounds like a single (as in living alone ... not her relationship status) woman. i hope she doesn't mind a nosy doodle staring at her through the fence.

apparently, after decades, the engine room is actually officially closed now … the staff is holding a celebration of life for it this weekend.

i’m watching “below deck: down under” and this episode has reminded me of the time when, as a housekeeping supervisor, i forgot to check the oven in a room in banff (my hotel had full kitchens) and totally missed the full roast that was hanging out inside it.

i’m sorry, but posting an ai image of your dead loved one celebrating their birthday is creepy as fuck. (things i can’t say on facebook.)

some time away from the every day is always good … but being tucked into my bed with a doodle curled up around my feet is even gooder.

i never feel more small town than when i go to a walmart supercentre … like, i know i have to walk a mile to find anything, but what do you mean you have more than 5 racks of women’s clothing?

i tend to keep to myself at conferences, but i had a couple of lovely chats with students from mckenzie college yesterday. there was a large student representation at the event, and it gave a nice vibe. (random thoughts after my introvert brain has recalibrated.)

and the last speaker today was the amazing @signalnoise.com … who, when showing samples from his early career, included a website i was the client for at my very first comms job at the institute of chartered accountants of nova scotia back at the turn of the century.

one session left in the day and my nose is touching the wall … it’s been a worthwhile expenditure of my energy, but it’s still a lot for this hermit creature.

i’m really enjoying being at a “conference” type event where i’m not being told how to hustle or sell things or use ai to solve all my professional problems. i had high hopes for CMD+Z and i’m not disappointed.

and i've traded my island cottage for a moncton hotel room ... i had a long shower, i'm getting caught up on some client work, and having a bed picnic ... tomorrow, i have to people at a conference, but i'm hopeful it will be worth my energy.

today i learned that eastlink thinks the very southern tip of grand manan is the united states. ironic given that there’s a plaque there talking about the war of 1812.

“anniversary” is not the movie i expected it to be … i’m going to have to watch something very whimsical after this. like, aggressively whimsical.

so, i found a turquoise marble while seaglassing today, and i’d like to thank the mermaids for the lovely birthday gift.

all bundled up with a book and a doodle and enjoying one of the last deck saturdays of the season. i’ll miss them. last summer i spent no time outside at all … it was too hard while missing roxy was fresh … but this year, we’ve been out here as much as we can be and it’s been lovely.

i used my scene points to buy my vacation groceries … the self-checkout attendant was impressed that i had $100 saved up (you need to show id now when cashing in that many points). i didn’t tell her it’s because i only shop at sobeys once or twice a year because they’re too expensive.

i saw a delightfully bumbly raccoon on my way to pick up cocoa from dayschool this afternoon. it made up for the dead fawn i saw on the side of the road on my way to drop her off this morning.

she was always worried how she’d handle losing mom and dad … so i think she’d be relieved we survived. she never had huge goals for her own family, so my being single wouldn’t shock her, i don’t think. she’d be surprised we’re in truro, but amazed we’re self employed. and overjoyed we have a dog.

how many people do you figure called 911 after the alert just to see if it was working? the answer is definitely not zero.
