It was sunny and warm, so I decided to go thrift shopping. I found a Ted Baker gown at a thrift store for $25! Had a feeling that the colours and waist would pair beautifully with a blazer I picked up back in June. Turns out I was right! I already have the shoes and earrings.

A photo collage consisting of five photos shows off a long, flowy, sleeveless gown by Ted Baker. The dress bears a floral pattern in various tones of peach, mustard yellow, saffron yellow, and gold. The dress pairs beautifully with gold tone earrings with amber inlay, a mustard, yellow blazer with shiring on the back panel and on the ends of the sleeves, and pale tan pumps with a lovely gold buckle accent.

Trying to build a life I love despite grief & loss. Joined a small, informal choir & signed up for a dance class. Singing will be good for my lung health & dance is good exercise & may help maintain strength and help with both sleep and pain management. Plus, it will help to be around people again.

Can anyone please tell me what this is and how to eat it? It's unfamiliar to me.

A large, unidentified, oblong fruit with a rough yellow rind with a bit of brown and green mottling toward one end. It measures about 10" long, with a 6" diameter.

Today was a good day. Choir was fun! Sharing with a friend how we're to enunciate when singing. Remember "the rain in Spain..." from "My Fair Lady"? I was mocking the silly exercises we do as vocal warmup and I said to her, "Form your vowels from your bowels lest I hit you with my trowel!"

Great. Never-ending, record-breaking rain over the summer, and now the autumn-like coolness has triggered my Raynaud's. That's just fucking lovely. Why has Mother Nature been such a damn bitch this year?

My #cat is 15 years old. Her days now consist mostly of spending time either sitting quietly on, or of sleeping on, her favourite armchair. She does seem to want follow me more, and to want to lie on me a lot and be close/touching. Is this clinginess typical of senior #cats? *I don't mind. 🥰

September 11, 2001. A hijacked passenger jet out of Boston crashes into the north tower of the World Trade Center, ripping a gaping hole in its façade and setting the building on fire.

Skeeps, I need your help. I'm trying to remember the name of a game I played. It featured black cubes, and on each face was a different shape in a different colour. Like Connect 4, players have to make a complete sequence—using each colour and each shape.

I really like this one too. He was in Tanzania. This elephant was curious and wanted to check out their vehicle. It's a bit too close for comfort. No telephoto!

Anyone in #ShPk, #strathco, #yeg know what's going on east of #Edmonton? Low, steady rumble and a lot of emergency vehicles on the other side of the river from us at what I'm guessing is the Clover Bar area. No flames visible, but definitely something happening.

Schrödinger's weather: Either reality is wrong or Google is wrong. Google says it's clear and 16°C. Looking out the window and listening tells me there's thunder, gusting wind, and rain. Yeah. As I thought. Google is right, and what is really isn't. 🤪 What is reality anyway?

Seems Pookie's confused Lake Superior and Lake Ontario. He likely mistook "Gitchi Gumee" for "Gucci Gimme" and Superior sounded bigly appealing, too, so ... ... ugh. Covfefe! What more can be said? 🤷‍♀️

Why? Why is it so noisy!? I'd just like some quiet, but, too often, that seems too much to ask. I can't tell whether it's a lawnmower or a helicopter outside, but, regardless, the constant drone is driving me bokers.

Anyhoo... here's a photo of my cat. She and the feline overlords are plotting our ultimate demise as a species. Nothing much can be done about it, so carry on about your day. #CatsOfBluesky #cat #pets

Listening to "Work Song" by Nat Adderley, and there's a part that sounds a lot like "We've got a groovy thing going, baby" by Simon and Garfunkel ... #jazz

Sweet Cheebus Murphy! Did 137 Avenue turn into the Indianapolis Speedway tonight or something? Since 7:30, it's been almost non-stop noisy revving, like everyone in #yeg is street racing up and down the stretch for shits and giggles. And then there's the helicopters. 🙄 #Edmonton, you okay? Drunk?

Use an over-the-counter stool softener for babies and an eye dropper to loosen impacted ear wax. This, after insulting me by asking whether I was presenting my list of symptoms or my gradate thesis. Unbelievable! I went to another clinic, where they promptly irrigated, restoring my hearing.

Elmer Fudd and his bigass camera lens can get model releases and learn about PIPEDA and *consent*, or he can just fuck all the way off. I'm so done with boundary violations and ... *waves arms in large circles* ... all of this shit. I. Am. DONE.

Got bored. Decided to play with a bolder look. Click or/tap for full size. Making up hooded eyes is hecking hard! *Don't think for a moment I don't have a mirror and am not aware of the "weird" pupil. Before you comment on it, do us both a favour: don't. Look up "bilateral vitrectomy" instead.

Hoping to have results of follow-up chest x-ray this week. Trying to stay positive, but given symptomology and risk factors, I'm certainly anxious. I know there's a possibility the perihilar mass observed previously may have grown and, if it has, I'm equally nervous about what that may suggest. 😬
