You know. Before the pandemic the salary I have would have allowed me to live in a nice apartment with concrete walls. Walls you don’t hear your neighbours. But post pandemic my salary is the poverty line. I live in an apartment just as bad as when I was on minimum wage and can’t afford better.

10 years ago I bought a KILO of Gouda when I lived in the Netherlands for 5€. FIVE!!! Even if it would be 10€ today… in Canada a kilo of Gouda is… well I don’t know. A sliver of Gouda smaller than a slice of Brie is 25$

$1300 later, dad’s car is fixed. Turns out the garage in his town botched the last job they did on it and it burned out a cylinder, also screws on the motor were loose, etc. Long story short: when he gets back home tomorrow they’ll get a massive talking to and will be expected to be reimbursed

Yesterday in Tom’s stream we all sounded out old people candies we liked. Werther’s Originals and Ricola came up. Well. My dad comes over to visit. He’s 66 years old. And what’s in his Jeep? Werther’s Original, Ricola, and some Dutch liquorice 🤣

My friend: aren’t you a French speaker? It’s your second language, you’re fluent! Isn’t your mom francophone? Me: yes My friend: and you hate speaking French? Me: yes. (I say while eating a croissant 🥐 for breakfast)

I was 16. Last year of high school in Quebec. Everyone was in class and all of a sudden at the intercom the principle announced that classes weee cancelled and asked everyone to head to certain spaces so we could see the TVs and the news. This had never happened before. We all filed out to see 1

Is it just me or does Wyll’s character in BG3 have like… The other characters have so much going on and he … I don’t know. I feel like we could have gotten a far more complex and interesting story from him. Beyond sexy demon and daddy issues

Life is strange. A name had to be fixed in the obituary because I didn’t know. But a cousin of mine is no longer a “he” but a “she”. Which is all good. I just find it interesting how life made two of my cousins trans 🏳️‍⚧️ from a mom that is against LGBTQ people because god said so

My cousin was in charge of writing our oma’s obituary, but then she wrote the first sentence and her water broke. So, she asked me to do it in her stead. Obviously, I said yes. It is done and sent. I’m a wreck right now. I hope the family likes what I wrote
