It's 14 cubed day, where 14 years ago on the 14th I met my now girlfriend and 14 days later we started dating.

Given Layton's municipal involvement near what is Michael Garron (formerly East York General), Chow's lack of attention to the roadways near it shows what a liar she is politically. Hospitals as priority? Does she not know how important O'Connor is to its ambulances?

Maybe I should consider a run.

So a sidewalk clearing plow has been doing the corner in front of my place I'd guess about an hour, and nowhere near done. The method itself seems moronic, particularly since one lane on each side will need the roadway done.

Eventually.

Which will ruin this "clearance." And it wasn't over 40".

So guess whose signs are all down at the southeast corner of Eglinton and Pharmacy, on the site of the building that they tore down. I mean it's a vacant property now, but they did have signs up for the new construction which I guess are not doing. F****** cowards.

Well, client before my... break.

Well that's interesting. I found out that Bonnie Crombie resigned yesterday. Good riddance. She's not capable of being a leader, let alone a premier but kind of odd. The reality is that my MP might be running for the Liberal leadership in Ontario and I really hope he doesn't.

I can't drive 55.

Even though I went grocery shopping first time in 2026. Gargantuan geographic joy, well walk anyway. Not bad for one meal and walking around inside, too. Don't much feel like cooking, but it's past my 5pm dose. Downed a Peace Tea for calories.

Plus, it's actually 56 day.

Going to visit family later this week, but low on groceries. Thought I might grab a bite while out, but Skip lost them, and the other services are having trouble seeing them.

So, making dinner with groceries when I get home. Merry nothing today.

Walk button post on O'Connor obviously hit and destroyed, likely by a turning car.

Bad (sic) Bradford's latest mayoral election sign: A reminder of the "skill" he has as a councillor.

If you know one of his Beaches-East York supporters, share this demo of his political/service skill. If they plan to place a vote for him, plan to end your friendship. They're that stupid. #topoli

That was amusing (and memoratic). Need some groceries, so hopped on a bus, but walked to the back while it moved full speed without gripping posts.

Ok, still impaired right eye vision, but I guess my balance is back! Plus, heard from insurance, so good chance I'm getting proper income soon.

So, got my renewed Ontario ID today, no new anything required, not even photo. OHIP card is on the same schedule, but with no notification.

What's funny? Gemini gave a complete bullshit response about needing to visit Service Ontario.

Nope. Did it online in about 5 minutes. Dumber than Doug.

Short walk: St. Clair and O'Connor to VP, down to Danforth, then over to Woodbine. VP and Danforth have changed. Oh, and vacuuming and mopping earlier and some dusting, plus a little plastering and sanding.

Not bad after self-adjusting 2000mg of one med in half. Completely well behaved.

Wow, thought I'd check the balance on an unused LCBO gift card I got in a game last Christmas. $50! The problem? Theoretically not supposed to drink right now.

I mean, I have ignored that to a tiny degree, but $50 could last me months or longer at this point. Suggestions? Stay light.

Yup. Good bakery there, but formerly an actually good beer atore.

Meh, went to Dollarama and Metro at Eg Square. Spent zero. Got snacks and booze at home, but my intake is way down. Lost like 35 lbs, so no big cravings.

Oh, and used to have an excellent Beer Store at OC and DM, which is gone due to AH DF. VP and OC? Unworthy of comparison.

Might as well extend this already long walk out to Warden.

Huh. I love the manufacturer, but not this brand. 6.5% lies about its lack of flavour, as I love their over 9% brands. Oh, but they do have an excellent 4.5%.

Anyway, consumption is way down for my stroke prevention, like 10 days or more for one. Any recommended replacements?

I think you missed the first D in his name, which stands for "Ding."

Before moving to this neighborhood over 20 years ago, I had two dates here. First one was at a bowling alley that was part of a McDonald's ad but is now a condo. Next was at a fantastic restaurant on the corner that just closed after over 30 years.

East York is becoming East Dork.

So, Weather Network calling for 23ยฐ today. Environment Canada for 25ยฐ. Google? Maybe 20.

Plus, I actively hate Gemini. Google would make me happy if it fails.

Or when.

So, that was complicated quickly considering I downed a Ole Tequila Sunrise before catching a bus about 11 minutes later.

No negative effects at all, but going easy for a couple weeks at least, for cost rather than (no negative) reaction.

So, apparently had a stroke end of April with no memory of the incident or 2.5 weeks of my hospital 3 weeks. 4 more weeks in an observation joint, then escaped.

Not drinking heavily or often, but no negative effects when I ostensibly ignore that advice to never for a year.

Had a Squirrel the other day with no negative effects. I'm going to go easy. My meds, which I consider excessive, are unaffected. I had nothing before my "trip" so I'm not overly concerned, but also going light.

Well, that was a walk, from my place up VP to Eg then LCBO near Warden. Luckily a needy woman put me off entering, since end of April I was under obs for 3 weeks, then conscious obs for 4 more.

I guess the "don't drink" suggestion holds for up to a year. What heart attack?

I won't be going back in my lifetime. Doesn't matter if he's president or not. The people that elected him exist, and I want no part of them.

The Peek Freens in the air almost makes up though.

One sad thought. My favourite beer store is going to be a condo, and though the one I visited today is closer, it pales in comparison for selection and variety, one of the old Brewers Retail types. Left empty handed. Better stuff on offer at the convenience store, and it pains me to say so.

Keeping true to form, compartmentalizing. This is my happy place, which explains why I post so little. My bile was on the other place.

So happy I was to get away after a meeting and a rush task, I forgot I made food before the meeting. Oh well, happy thought. One less thing when I get home.

03.04.2025 19:39 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Almost dropped it twice.

The phone, not the beer. Some things are precious.
