I just ate my first Toffifee of the day.
The withdrawal was real.
The withdrawal was real.
Today I have experienced a worryingly low number of Toffifee being crammed into my food hole. My blood sugar may be approaching normal levels again.

Somehow I don't think the driver of the school bus that did this damage would not have passed a breathalyzer that day.

Folks, I think I made it. With ~5 waking hours left for me for the day, I believe I will be victorious in the Battle of Whamageddon!
Other than a random TV commercial, there's no way in hell I'm gonna hear Last Christmas before midnight.

🤦🏼 Why the hell is a sidewalk plow doing that pathway anyway? Lord this city/NCC employs some lazy ass people. Heaven forbid someone use a shovel.
The newly opened Kìwekì Point panoramic viewpoint overlooking the Ottawa River behind the National Art Gallery has apparently been damaged by a snow plow

‘Twas the night before Xmas,
And all through the Mall,
Not a retail employee was stirring,
A shout out to all!
Me, all punned out &
Santa icing his lap
Settling down to
A Cinnabon snack
Back to the North Pole
It’s ok, I’m alright 🥹
Merry Creepymas to all
To all a good night.🎄

SO MUCH red light running today.
I wonder if drivers knew the true number of their kin who run solid red lights, if their made up "cyclists don't follow road rules" cries would still happen, or if they'd even care?
Cuz it's bad. The number is very high. Higher than Trump at a press conference.

Well shit, my plant bulb appears to have burnt out, 2 days before Xmas. When I have zero time to go get a new one.
My apartment is not hospitable to most of my plants without artificial light.
The timing could not be worse for my lil bbs.

-Sidewalk plowed but not bike lane
If you're a regular rider you'll know the trouble spots, I moved the sign that's been partially in the bike lane just east of Winona for a few days.
Bike lane passable, not enough down to make a big diff.

I got to work, everyone was surprised to see me, and I was like 'does anyone even look at the schedule??'
Then I looked at the schedule and saw I hadn't scheduled myself.
Does anyone even look at the schedule, indeed. 🤦🏼
