Road Cycling season ahoy! A fast FYI for #CyclingBlueSky about me:
* I support Tadej Pogačar & Jasper Philipsen. (& many others, but they are my 🌟 guys)
* I don't do flame wars or ragebaiting. Supporting riders is much more fun!
* I have to get up early for races, ya'll. Have mercy on me. 💤😆

Have you ever spent an entire workday sorting for a project, then leave a note for the team early bird saying "DO NOT TOUCH THE PROJECT," then come in this morning find that they have re-sorted the project and now you must re-sort the project again?
Just me? Cool. No one needs that stress. 🤪

Coffee, winding thread, and #UCIWorldCup on the TV…though I’m already 6min behind the live because FloBikes stream is so hurky-jerky.

In celebration of #AlpecinPremierTech (and thanks to @timbonvilleginn.bsky.social & @tonke.bsky.social for providing some excellent info on that today), I think I will make some chocolate chip cookies. 🍪

I introduced the #Pogacat to his first show yesterday…he let me put his paws in and everything.
Not sure he knew what to make of it, but he was very tolerant of the experimentation!

I am pleased to say that I have survived the first day and a half of #Whamaggedon, which is never a sure thing for me. I've gone out on the 1st at least 3 times that I can recall.
Last year I went out on Xmas Eve, on purpose, throwing myself on the sword to enter Whamhalla.
Let's see how '25 goes!

Snow they said was coming and snow we have, much to my surprise. (We usually only get the predicted snow about half the time.)
It’s not a lot, just enough to cover everything, and they’re already scraping it away, so off to work I go.
It’ll be around for a while though, because it is 🥶🥶🥶🥶!

All right, got caught up on the latest #StrangerThings drop so it’s safe to look around the internet again. 😆
Gotta admit, those last 15min of the last episode (ep 4) was pretty badass.
Interested to see how they wind it up!

I took today off from work to decompress from the very busy holiday weekend.
I wake up to Wout’s CX schedule (let’s gooooooo!!) and plan to spend the rest of the day decorating and watching the new Stranger Things.
Happy December, everyone!!

I am amused that everyone is doing the profanity count right now…I try not to curse too much here because I know some people don’t care for it.
In meatspace, I curse like a drunken sailor who just found out their leave was cut short. 😆
Well, maybe not that bad, but I do let the spicy language fly!

How was that NOT a straight red card for Caicedo immediately?? And then the play acting afterwards. 😑
Took a VAR to get him off the pitch. Gah. He is such a…grrr. He and Chelsea deserve each other.

And just when you think #Flobikes could get any worse, they’ve started running ads DURING the race, squeezing the race picture down to the corner and muting the commentary.

I have spent 6 hours in the last two days, at the behest of family, watching Wicked.
I love musical theatre, but beside some set design & “Defying Gravity,” a straight up BANGER, this one was not for me (I kinda wanted to set G(a)linda on fire 🤣).
*sneaks off to watch Jesus Christ Superstar again*

I hope everyone is having a good weekend…my group knocked out a ton of shopping yesterday, sticking to small local shops as much as possible. Got myself a few nice things too.
Today is the last full day of visitors, and I’m about to cook up some breakfast and get to work on more decor! 💨💨💨

Good morning, and Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! 🦃
While the myth around the holiday is just that, a myth, the idea of a day to be thankful is still a solid one. I am more than grateful for all that I have and for all of you. ❤️
Also, it’s a great day to donate to the First Nations!
