We came
We saw
We walked
We made a wrong turn at Albuquerque (oops)
We raised $26,411 (or perhaps more on final count) for the Cedar Centre
We recuperated with dogs
We drank adult beverages
We burned things

Thank you to everyone who supported my #rideforrefuge (got my gold pin again, woo-hoo!)

ONE MORE SLEEP until Ride for Refuge!

I’m walking in support of the Cedar Centre, which helps children, youth, and adults recover from the impact that interpersonal childhood trauma has had on their lives. We still need to raise $924 - info and donation link at alyssawright.com/ramblings/bl....

This was an experiment, based on stuff in the fridge I needed to use up. EXPERIMENT WAS A SUCCESS!!! Holy hell, this was good. Cold-smoked salmon, blueberries and blue cheese, basil and fresh ground pepper. All organic. All locally sourced. ALL GONE, because it was too delicious.

A BlueSky exchange from the other day got my inner shin-kicker worked up, and inspired a new rant, "Karpman Triangles and Canada Geese", about some NSFW feelings I have over the current state of US-Canada relations.

Hope you enjoy: alyssawright.com/blogs/journe...

Snowmaggedon 2025 - and it’s still coming down!

1-snow has reached top of the railing on balcony off my studio.

2-snow up to table top on patio, + snow on top

3-furnace intake, next to snow I had to dig out because 🤬 Frank “didn’t need an architect” when putting on the addition

The world may be going to shit, but I never thought Saturday movie night would ever be this snuggly. ❤️

If these two can learn to love each other, maybe there’s hope for the rest of us?

A great day for lazing by the fire. Sunday snuggles, activated!

It’s this beautiful boy’s 9th birthday today! Don’t tell the others, but he’s definitely my favourite boy alive. ❤️

Happy Birthday, Jasper Montdogue Wright!

Solstice / Christmas / Chanukkah / Festivus with the Sisterhood. Lots of laughs, heartfelt discussions, new pyjamas for all (thanks Shannon) and WAY TOO MUCH FOOD. I am blessed. ❤️

Happy Solstice, everyone – and cheers to the brighter days ahead!

The perils of believing your own lie that you’re going to start baking more.

(Next time, buy the normal-sized bag of flour, girl… 🤦‍♀️)

In light of some recent "jokes" about domestic violence – and people I never would have expected to share or defend them – I've spent most of my Saturday tending to my nervous system and writing a blog post.

TW: domestic violence, should go without saying: alyssawright.com/blogs/journe...

I didn't have the proper lenses on my camera, so created an artistic rendering of today's eclipse instead. 😀
