Look what my 10 year old did! I wanted a cookie. This is why I can’t have nice things. I hope none of your children attack you in this way!

I’m not open to queries at the moment but I’ll respond individually to any #DVpit submissions I’m interested in seeing. Thanks everyone!! Good luck today!!

Can we just not have a universal system for intake information? Every doctor I go to wants all these forms filled out. It’s mostly the same information too. Sometimes it’s the same information worded differently several different times for the same medical professional.

I have tried twice now to use my iPad for filling out these forms. Got to the point where I had to write a paragraph. Text was really slow to go on screen. Halfway through it decided it was done and all the text would disappear.

Guy on the radio said that there was a complaint about horses ridden by police 💩 in Stanley park. He said the police should clean it up and they should have a police officer following the horse with a huge garbage bag cleaning up the mess. 😂 I mean there aren’t better uses for the police budget.

A Black fairy popped up at my Word Vancouver table. My first superfan! #blackfairy #wordvancouver #mythictexture

I hate when I forget things especially when those things are deodorant. That was not my plan at all today. 😭

My cat has been upstairs all day. I finally get a chance to sit down and he’s suddenly on my lap. He ignored me all day. I don’t think he was even downstairs when I sat down. How does he know?

Zero cats were needed in the assembly of this drawer and yet here we are. I put the wheels on the four drawers and he was lying on the bed like this the whole time. Complete trust that I wouldn’t squish him. Once I thought i had bothered him, but no he just needed a quick clean. 😂

No context: Me: did you turn my stuff into things? 10 year old: No the boat did.

I finally have a watch/fitness tracker again. It has a lot of features but my favorite is the vibration alarm. It wakes me up in the morning and it doesn’t put me into a bad mood like my phone alarm. 10/10 for vibration alarms. Definitely recommend no matter the device.

I like my new pants. They fit well and look nice. Still have to get past the new sensory feels. I feel like if they were an inch shorter I’d like them more but then again there would always be something.

So I’ve had hip pain for months. Like I’m in tears getting off my couch and sometimes just standing. We recently bought a new couch because the old one was small doe 4 people. It’s a firm couch and our other one was soft. It’s been a few weeks now and the pain is gone. No hip pain. It was the couch!

So apparently Apple weather is not reporting accurate air quality for my area. It says it’s at a 2, but there is an air quality warning. I’ve checked other websites and they say it’s moderate air pollution at best.

Canadian arts and culture folks: the federal government has launched a (methodologically flawed) survey on "the Cultural Sector's readiness for Artificial Intelligence". If you're ready to resist or refuse genAI, here's your chance to let them know. pch.research-recherche.ca/f/s.aspx?lan...

I keep getting emails from the place I used to buy my kid’s school supplies. My youngest is going into 6th grade and probably needs very few supplies. Still I tolerate the emails because i need something to remind me! 😂

Pretty much emptied out my small file. Almost everything in there was junk! I do have notes on Flash animation if anyone need them.

What do you mean that all of the notebooks were filled with notes from university classes? WHY DID I KEEP THOSE? There were a few stories here and there but mostly stuff I didn’t want to keep. I may have kept 15 pages out of like 15 notebooks. 😭 Does this count as editing? 🤔

Hi everyone, the #TWSOchat that was scheduled today has been postponed until the following Sunday, July 19th at 10:30am PT. Apologies for the short notice but we'll do our ranting next week! :) Thank you for understanding.

I dont know how much this will help but may as well do all we can: c.org/KNQyNVbzjc

I really want to know what is it about Roar Organics Electrolytes (strawberry watermelon) that I can’t have. Recently had a cold and was given some (it was in a donate pile). I ended up with some flu like symptoms. Maybe stevia? I think it’s an intolerance because I was able to drink it at first.

Got an as per our last discussion type email when I asked for an appointment change. Email just repeated the original time. This person seemed really flexible before. Turns out my phone was showing the oldest emails first. The email was a review of our last talk. The appointment change was fine. 😅

My poor kitty is a big cat. Not fat — just really big. It makes it hard for him to get a good lap to sit on. I have to cross my legs for him to have enough space. I’m 5’10” and often he’s hanging on for dear life because there isn’t enough room on my lap.

My ten year old kept singing songs this morning for KPop demon hunters, and then pointed to me to sing the next line. I'm like child, I do not know the words to this song and you need to eat breakfast. It didn't stop him from singing, though. I only know the refrain from "Soda Pop", sorry kiddo! 😂

These scammers try so hard. Look France is nice but I have appointments that whole week. Nice try though.

Every single time I talk to him when he’s in the bathroom window he whines at me like I’m going to forcibly remove him. The window does get shut when it’s cold out but never when he’s in the window. Still he gives me this pitiful look and meows like I’m going to be mean.

Anyone have an idea for a free standing cat patio (available in Canada) that would be good for a very active cat? We are renting and I’m not sure that the landlord would appreciate us attaching it to the vinyl siding of our house (which would probably be unstable).

I'm writing and wrote "my father has past". He will not future, he does not present, and he has past. May he rest in peas. #amwriting

The tiny tax man. He’s quite proud of himself. Treats, tuna and some cat grass. I’m obviously not taking care of him well enough. 🤣

I think we really need to have a talk about this tuna tax. Every single time I eat (yes I said eat and not buy) I have to pay the tuna tax. And that tiny tax man is never happy. He always wants more. Seriously thinking about not buying tuna anymore if this keeps happening. #CatProblems

I miss when I could play instrumental music on YouTube without ads. The ads are so distracting while I'm writing. I guess I'm writing in silence for now. I will probably end up buying some good instrumental music, but I'm not paying for another monthly service.

Really, brain "focual point"? That's how you are going to spell that? You are just lucky I can't replace you.

I have been plant robbed! Someone stole my cucumber plant. I have a bunch of plants in the backyard, so it was obviously a targeted attack. I mean the thief was obviously an animal, but still. This planter is about 22 inches tall. Wonder if it was a crow?

Signed up for this writing intensive. It was apparently so intense that I ended up with a pinched nerve in my neck. I woke up this way but it has to be the intensive's fault. 😂

That time my spouse was really supportive about He-Man.

Waiting for my teen with flowers! These aren’t mine. They are for my MIL. #MothersDay she likes yellow flowers the most. 💜

My cat likes to beat me to the restroom and perch on the toilet so he can get pets. There are so many things that could go wrong here. Yesterday he almost jumped inside the toilet because the lid was open. 🤣 One of these days he’s going to end up with a face full of toilet water.
