Here is another blast from the past as I continue to accidentally new find ways to relive my childhood.
I was at New Horizons mall the other day and found a little German shop selling Moravian stars. I had to get one! It was expensive, and bigger than expected, but I love it!

I checked out Calgary’s largest garage sale at the Thorncliffe Greenview Community Centre. So many people! Nothing too exciting (will I ever find a Walkman?) but I did haggle my way into two Corningware mugs. These are straight from my 1980s childhood! Seriously, did anybody NOT have these mugs?

A lovely day of excess consumerism. The day was spent all over the city grabbing some last minute Items for my upcoming trip to Japan.

As I take my seat in Question Period for the first time today, I will be fighting for teachers and students and standing up for public education. /1

I completely agree with the sentiments of this post but will add that AHS is full of brilliant folks, and despite the government constantly hamstringing us, we always find a way to take care of patients. I'm not sure we've crossed the line of complete failure, but we're marching right toward it.
"It is pure chaos."
"Alberta's health-care system is now so dysfunctional and chaotic that it will be unable to handle the inevitable surge of sick patients from the annual flu, respiratory infection and COVID season over the next few months."

It has been such a fun weekend so far! I went to a Wranglers game on Friday, and had a great meal at Model Milk Saturday. 17th ave was hopping both nights! #Calgary is such a fun city if you take a moment to forget the Trump-worshipping-christo-fascist style politics we’re forced to endure. #yyc

Tried out a new trumpet today.
I wish buying one was in the budget.
Oh well…I took the opportunity to make a gratuitously artsy photo.

I went to see Nuremberg today, which stars Russell Crowe and Rami Malek.
What an amazing and powerful movie! It holds so much relevance in today’s political landscape.
It’s part of the Calgary International Film Festival (CIFF). Check it out if you get a chance!

Concert band giveth me confidence,
and jazz band taketh it away.
Having practice one block away from home is the best thing that had ever happened to me! I’m going to be devastated when I have to start driving down south again.

I know that it’s super trendy to hate the Calgary Stampede these days, but I, for one, have been having a blast there this year. I’ve lived in YYC for all of my 46.95 years and not a lot feels more sentimental around here. However, I absolutely refuse to do the cowboy cosplay.

I am fatigued from the experience of streaming services and have become weirdly obsessed with old school cable television again. Days of Our Lives, here I come!

It has been a heck of a long time since my last skate! Felt good to get out there though. Like riding a bike! Plus, it’s 90s night who could resist?

I won a coupon for some IV drip therapy at the Lilac Festival.
I’m all hooked up and being filled with metabolism boosting vitamins. I’m going to be so skinny!!!!
This place is like a spa. Plus, it has free snacks. And this recliner chair is giving me life. So relaxing!

I snagged a few pictures from our concert at Knox United church on March 8th.
I may look focused and "in the zone" but it was more like a feeling of complete terror. I was praying hard to God (it was a church after all) that I wouldn't mess up and that I would sound beautiful.

I had an amazing meal with @maxpetrock.bsky.social at Model Milk this weekend. It felt both nostalgic and odd eating a pretentious steak in the same place where I used to drunkenly watch drag shows in my 20s when it was still Detour. Great times then and now!
