I am wearing a ton of layers today. If you see me out and about and it looks like I am underdressed, I am actually suffocating. Leave me alone.

The reason I will be out in -30 degree temps tomorrow.

We had to say goodbye to our boy Moose today. We loved him, and were loved by him, for 19 years. He was the perfect little loving void - a total weirdo who loved people, tap water, and making his presence known by yelling at all hours. It's awfully quiet here today.

Today thanks to @raydoesdata.bsky.social I learned I have no idea where Marysville is. Which is weird, cause I definitely pay property taxes and water bills to the city of goddamn Fredericton.

The only thing I hate about winter is when the weather keeps me from going out to do something I love.

Just enough time to eat and warm up a bit before heading out to freeze again.

Alert on my phone: "Colder than normal temps in NB, see more details in forecast."

Is it, though? Is this REALLY colder than "normal" for NB?

2025 was a great year for me. Its started out somewhere very different than where it ended, and I can't say that I could have predicted the changes that would happen over the last 12 months, but I am so glad that I pushed myself out of my comfort zone. Here's to more of the same in 2026!

in your 20s, you'll come across someone who's wrong online. it's very important than you spend the next 40 years of your life learning and arguing about this topic online long after they've moved on, built a career, and raised a family.

Great day. Barn chores, rode some horses, shot some arrows. 10/10. Cold didn't bother me til my toe warmers ran out, but they had been in use for 7 hours at that point so I think that's fair.

Went out to the barn this morning when it was -20 and I am breaking the silence on this important issue.

Folks, the horse people have been hiding the good winter gear from the rest of the population. Want to stand outside and sweat in -20 weather? Buy equestrian winter clothing.

Just finished backing out our living room so we can watch Stranger Things in the proper atmosphere.

Received Louise Penny's latest novel, Black Wolf for christmas. I read it in one sitting (which has sort of messed with my plans for today, cause it took me til 2am to finish). /1

I guess we were extremely lucky to make it through yesterday without losing power.

No more work til 2026! 🎉🍾🎄

Wasn't feeling very enthusiastic about work today, the year end burnout is real. Considered calling in sick due to exhaustion, but felt too guilty about it.

Then the weather made my decision for me by causing a power outage.

Received my WT3 pin today! This is part of the international horse archery grading system implemented by the International Horse Archery Association, and 'WT' stands for walk-trot which is the speed at which you are competing. Highest WT grade is 5, which is 2026 goals.

Update: physio put me on crutches 😭

But at least I know I'll be dealing with this ankle properly.
What does it say about my life when I am excited to see my physiotherapist?

Working in my living room is so freaking weird. Turns out I actually like having my work space very separate from my living space. Hopefully this swelling in my ankle starts to go down soon so I can go back to my usual setup.

I nearly went out of my mind yesterday having to stay on the couch and off my foot all day. At least today I get to work while sitting all day.

Fell off a horse yesterday and sprained my ankle pretty bad. Not the worst sprain I've ever had, but enough to make everything that involves walking super annoying. Also will need a new helmet. Good thing everything is on sale!
