Did Safeway just jack the price on the Compliments frozen veggies? I swear they were not $5.29 last time I bought them. Kicking myself for decluttering December's receipts last week.

I am going to miss getting enough sleep and having enough energy to do a day's activities with a little to spare once I head back to work tomorrow.

So jealous of my parents' condo. In suite laundry & a machine that spins out nearly all of the water from the clothes. Unlike my awful Coinamatic machines leaving me soggy stuff needing 18 hours to hang dry in winter.

I know condos are small and families are stuck, but how do strata people feel about kids playing soccer in building lobbies / hallways?

January 2, 1833, re-establishment of British rule over the Falkland Islands. The HMS Beagle will visit later that year and Charles Darwin is the 1st naturalist to geologize there. He collects some Devonian brachiopods and crinoids, at the time some of the oldest animals known from the fossil record.

Went walking at Trout Lake today. Saw a bunch of American Wigeons, and some mushrooms growing on trees. Found a geocache as well.

This might be all I can hope for as well.
My greatest 2025 achievement was surviving another year in a dystopian hellscape. My 2026 resolution is surviving another year in a dystopian hellscape.

I am so pleased (obviously not) that the construction site is blowing concrete & hammering & making my day miserable. Wonder when they'll stop today? (I discovered that the cement trucks queue up to wait their turn near S&O just off Stewardson.)

What's that I hear? Oh, just a SEVENTH Christmas vacation from work ruined by construction site noise. Today it is drills. Lucky, lucky me.

Winter is frustrating as the sunniest blue sky days always seem to fall on a day where I cannot be outside to enjoy them for as long as I want. Tomorrow I have all day free and the forecast is cloudy & rainy...

Are people ok? Someone just tried to bring a lap dog on the Hullo ferry unleashed and tucked into their jacket. No crate in sight either.

Is it just me, or does it not at all feel like Christmas time? (I hope it is just me.)

Construction in Douglas College closed the sidewalk again today. Except with no sign and no person, just some guy yelling halfway down the street that I told you to stop, but hadn't. The signs in the road were for drivers. No signs about sidewalks.

Who are the people who can leave the volume on and scroll through an Instagram feed? Masochists. Just did it accidentally and the cacophony was excruciating.

Explain to me how I take nearly 3 weeks off running due to cough and runny nose, and my Garmin says my VO2 max has *increased*.

Those new eensy weeny teeny tiny electronic price tags at Safeway are making me dread grocery shopping. That's one way to save money, I guess
