On a streak of bad books (not bad just boring and disappointing really) and the internet has decided the only book I should see content for is the new Mr. Beast/James Patterson book. I laughed when I heard the plot it's that dumb.

I am sick so working from the couch, on a work call and the dog had decided this is the ideal moment to go ham on his squeaky toy. I stop talking, he stops. I start talking and it's squeak, squeak, squeak 🙄 very helpful.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford: "The red states we're gonna hit hard ... you think an insult from him [Trump] hurts me? Bring it on, buddy. You're a loser."

Ontario Premier Doug Ford offers full support for "dollar for dollar" retaliation against US tariffs British Columbia Premier David Eby says "Our politeness should never be mistaken for weakness. We’ll always defend ourselves."

It took a t-shirt behind a news interview for me to remember the name of a band I saw when I was 17 in rural Alberta. I have probably not listened to them since high school so how do I remember all the lyrics?!

Sometimes I have to remind myself that I buy oat milk from the store for a reason. I decided this week that it's so expensive when I have oats at home. It's not the same at all. Just not as creamy and I'm not buying all the gums and oils and doing chemistry at home. So back to the store. 😅

My new summer obsession is sticking fruit and sugar together in a jar and letting it become a delicious syrup with no effort. Trying to make olea saccharum and it's like magic. Put lemon peels and sugar in, do nothing and bam lemon syrup.

This headline sounds like Environment Canada issued air quality warnings because of the threat rather than the fact there are air quality issues due to wildfire smoke. Canadian or American the warning is the same!

This is the first year the fireworks are in a different location (that I can remember) because apparently we've finally realized that setting off pyrotechnics around a bunch of trees might be a bad idea. 😂 Unfortunately it also means worse views from my balcony.
