Pearson airport's luggage handling is truly heinous. Consistently way longer wait times than any other airport I've been to. It's been over an hour and a half and it seems like they've lost half the flight's luggage? Maybe brought it to another terminal? 🙃

It seems to be impossible to fly in and out of Halifax without being delayed. Delayed for the third flight in a row

I miss my kitty but I'm enjoying being able to watch cat reels without having to guiltily turn down the volume as soon as a cat meows so Rosie won't freak out

This is an excellent tradition that I would like to adopt (as opposed to my current one of getting stuck in airports)

Waiting for my plane to push back from the gate and in the row ahead of me an older white women has already chatted up the two young Sikh men sitting on either side of her to the point that I heard a sentence starting with, "aw, well, family's not always about..."

Just occurred to me that Bills, Bills, Bills and Independent Woman by Destiny's Child espouse two completely contradictory relationship philosophies

Usually I love Muji but I ordered two things as presents from them back on December 7th and they still haven't even shipped 😵💫 no updates since they said they had a high volume of orders on the 12th, and they responded to my email with a generic AI response on the 19th and nothing since 😑😑😑

I DID IT. I finally beat the marathon that was FFVII Rebirth. I love it in principle and I loved it in practice for most of it but it was just too much game and I was confused and bored and playing on easy by the end.

I've heard of Tate McRae, sure, the way I've heard of many other current celebrities (in passing, couldn't picture them) but I only just realized that she's female, not male. How was is supposed to know with that name?

Tried to consolidate my Christmas shopping to a few stores so I wouldn't be getting a million shipments and Sportchek so far has sent three of my 10 items in two separate packages with the rest still to come 😑 so much for trying to be marginally eco-friendly...

It drives me insane how drivers these days will pop on the curb at the slightest reason. When there's no boulevard, that's SO dangerous to pedestrians. Had an SUV do that right beside me to get around another car on the way home from work tonight, what the hell.

Me and all my musician friends: *struggling to write a musician bio and strike that balance between bragging and honestly laying out accomplishments*
A bio from tonight's concert: "[musician] is one of the most stratospherically ascendant musicians in classical music today."

Ran 5.8km this morning for the Terry Fox Run and spent the afternoon at a pool party which doesn't sound crazy but this evening my body decided it had had enough and is now in full rebellion

Ughhhhh I've been wanting a cute mini backpack for awhile so I finally ordered one for my birthday off of Etsy and then seller never sent it and Etsy eventually refunded me my money but like... I can't find what I want anywhere else and I really just wanted my mini backpack 😢
