Apparently my "Freedom 55" will be dying in the Canadian insurgency. Did not have that on my life bingo card. Forever a Bluenoser. GenX. Divorced. Buddhist.

Word of advice - when you are in an overwhelming situation, don't let it sit and fester for years before you tell someone out of fear of being a burden or placing more on their shoulders. Give them the opportunity to help you as soon as you can for both your sakes.

Love is never a burden.

Child 2 is coming home from uni for a bit next week. I ask if there's any special food requests - weirdly, it's beef stew. Spent the early hours looking at local shop beef prices and all I can say is #thethingsyoudoforlove. Contacting my bank for a second mortgage.

One of the many things you never hear about #menopause is the crazy #foodcravings. It's like being pregnant all over again. Not kidding - in four days I have eaten the entirety of a large jar of spicy sweet pickles - I hate sweet pickles. Last week, it was a giant burger - I rarely eat red meat.

When I had FB I swear most posts were go out and look at the moon (or some other astral body) right now but, seriously, go look at the moon right now.

Absolute Highlight of the #Halloween evening was the young boy who dressed up as the flags of Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. He painted cardboard and wore Denmark on the front, Norway on the back, and Sweden on his head. This kid is a treasure and must be protected at all costs #fredericton

ONE. WIN. AWAY.

It isn't just that the puppet Criminal in Chief may have dementia or otherwise not be of sound mind, it's the fact that there are 1,000s of people working under him who are not saying "no, I won't do that". Saying yes to racism, fascism, yes to economic instability, war, and chaos.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

For all my American Friends, please feel free to borrow this old old Canadian #elbowsup anthem with the central standing up for yourself, and demanding a life filled with #joy and #freedom. #parachuteclub #80s

Treeline at Night, 2025, #acrylic on #canvas

Might trash this, this is my view everytime I take the dog out one last time, and it's often unsettling and liminal which I didn't capture.

As an astronomy need, this is singing to me.
'Solar System' quilt by Ellen Harding Baker of Cedar County, Iowa, US in 1876, she used her textile work as a teaching aid for her lectures on astronomy in the small towns of her state.
Find out more in the first Womensart book, Unravelling Women's Art on textile artist rebels and pioneers!

I know I fell asleep somewhere around the 6th, it was 2 - 2 last I remembered. Goodness I missed some excitement! Maybe it was because I wasn't watching anymore lol #bluejays #Canada #baseball #elbowsup

6:20 am, sitting in car waiting for my son to come out and drive us. He's a #nightowl, I'm a night owl. We're both working against our #circadian rythyms right now and it's showing. It's like being perpetually jetlagged. I'm so mixed up right now I got an hour sleep last night.

I sold my too small condo a couple of years ago and, being priced out of the local market, bought a minihome. It's a relatively new make and I cannot for the life of me understand why they insist on making them "depression caves". There is NO sufficient LIGHT lol. Not natural, not artificial #SAD
