Off tonight to see #alabamashakes at Budweiser Stage. What should I wear? It’s gonna be 10 Celsius when the sun goes down. Brrrrr.

Everywhere is a bit different. In NYC if you wanted a double double you’d order a “light and sweet.” How do you order #coffee where you live?

Thank you!

Hey friends- translation pls- when they say “white coffee two sugars” (in a UK tv series) is the same as our (Canadian) double double?

Sugar factory! Gobbling up the sugar with a big scoop. Such a delight to watch.

I’m at the beach! (Sugar Beach which is right downtown Toronto for those not in the know). It’s one of my fave places. I like to sit here and watch them unload the sugar from the tankers. #yyz #toronto #selfcare

Ordered samples of two new tees I’ve listed on Etsy. I’m dying, just dying of laughter. What do you think?

And from another angle.

Rearranged living room coming along nicely. Might sound weird but rearranging and painting is one of my mental health coping strategies. I look on it as a fresh start.

Might have to watch some baby hippo antics to cheer myself up

In a half assed attempt to fend off feeling like a loser (ie my business tanking because of no longer having access to the US market which was about 60 percent of my Etsy and 90 percent of my wholesale customers) I decided to rearrange the apartment. I’m now in the what fresh hell is this stage.

Truth.

Settled in with Breaking Bad and wanted to enjoy a nice Coke Zero (woohoo living a wild life) but arthritis (?) and a fibro flare (? or whatever this is) means I can’t get the bottle open. At all. Hands not working correctly. :(

Happy 32nd wedding anniversary to my sweet sister @frannymacster.bsky.social and her husband (let's call him mr. anonymous i don't think he's on this platform). xoxo love you both! Let me dig out some photos.

Stop calling me out! #adhd life

Is she actually a #vampire? I think the answer is pretty clear. (Also, Breaking Bad in the background, my go to when I’m low on spoons). Negotiations with the cartel in progress. :)

Got my govt issued official non-driver ID in the mail today - and as I opened it I thought, I hope I don’t look like a turnip. Happy to report no resemblance.

A weekly roundup: I made lots of buttons, met a cute dog, got my 5 year cancer checkup, and experimented with making DIY collage kits. Hanging in there.

Relatable. Also can we change a few nights a week to once or twice a month. And kinda depressing tbh cos this #spoonie life is lonely.

Oh the joy of being dizzy all the time - the sheer number of things I’ve either dropped or tripped over in the last short while is boggling.
