I can’t be sure that they locked me out of the house in my PJs on purpose because I wouldn’t let them come out to the compost bin with me, but I’m definitely suspicious. The GSD can lock & unlock doors as he pleases, but not on command 🤦🏻♀️

Using my own tools & my own design, I built a fireplace mantle to cover up the existing brick mantle from the 70s that I’ve hated for the last 14 years. I even trimmed it out to enclose it & appear like a solid beam.
Basically, I’m a master craftsman.

My sister & I went absolutely feral* on our Halifax weekend get away.

Apple fitness Running would be much better if they included video. Run Madrid? No visual of your route- just guided audio talking about the route. Thanks- I’ll stick to YouTube when I want some adventure running from my treadmill

To whoever has been running the leaf blower for the past 4 hours straight while I’m math-ing and forecasting - please stop and take a break. It’s a matter of your personal safety at this point.

Does anyone own a Cozey brand Ciello sofa or ever sat on one? I need an honest, unbiased review. So far, I can only find reviews from Canadian influencers who were gifted couches…

Today’s Mantra:
I do not need a Burnese Mountain Dog. I do not need another GSD. I do not need another Golden. My vacuum cleaner will simply pass away if I bring home another long haired shedder.
But wait- what if I just bought an even more powerful, industrial vacuum to add to the fleet??

I got up super early to work a couple of extra hours because I inherited a role with a lot of bad data. I’m still sitting on my couch trying to will myself to actually work. I think the couch is winning.
