My plans this week: put away my overflowing clean laundry, paint some pottery for the next farmers market & get lots of work done. The universes plans for me this week: get sick with a cold and do nothing all week 🤧🫠
I hate getting sick. But I especially hate getting sick in the summer. I caught a summer cold and I am not happy about it.

Who in the world is affording tickets to any of the FIFA games in Vancouver??? I looked it up for fun, and tickets are a few THOUSAND per person. WTF!!! How is this okay????

I am planning my first trip ever to Tofino. I already got some great food recommendations. How about some things to do that I should make sure I don’t miss? Like any special beaches or hiking trails kinds of things? I’ll be camping at Green Point if that makes a difference in recommendations! TIA!
I got stuck in a table in a restaurant all night in @paralives.com before I realized there’s an unstuck button in the main menu LOL The bugs honestly make me cackle so hard, so I’m totally enjoying playing this early access. Day one and I played 6 hours already. I am really enjoying it!

I am planning to go to Tofino for my first time in June! While I’ll be camping, I want to check out some local stuff too. So what are some great places to grab a bite to eat in town? I want to know for any meal, and treats! I’ll definitely be needing ice cream one of the days.
Anyone here know much about bugs? I noticed a bunch of leaves on my birch tree are rolled up like cocoons. What would do this? Should I be concerned and remove them? Or is it a beneficial bug?
The sheer number of people I have seen using ChatGPT to write posts for them, but like just posts about what they did today. Like a life update kinda thing. Is INSANE. Like, just post what you put into ChatGPT for the prompt. YOU DO NOT NEED CHATGPT TO UPDATE YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT YOUR LIFE.
I just crushed a bag of rice cakes with zero regrets. 😋 Salt & Vinegar of course.
A little butterfly needed a rest. So it sat on my finger for a break during my walk. It rode for a few strides and then flew away.
Nothing prepares you for watching paramedics preform CPR on someone IRL. I went into the office today & it was there right in front of me. To give them space I turned around and went in the back doors. But nothing prepares you for what that actually looks like.
My balcony plum tree has blossoms!!!! I’ve had it for 3 years now so I was hoping this year it would blossom. I hope I get some fruit from it. 😋 I count 6 blossoms so far!!! #balconygarden #urbangardening #gardening
Black History IS Victoria’s history. If you’re interested in learning more about our city and our region and #blackhistory in #BCPoli and #VictoriaBC go to the @blackhistory.bc tour of #RossBayCemetery tomorrow at 2. It is *so* informative and interesting.
You know what I miss? Those fundraisers that sold those giant ice cream pail sized things of cookie dough
I’m looking for nice date night restaurants in North Saanich area (ish) any recommendations? TIA #yyj #yyjfoodie It’s for a work thing (looking to send a client a gift card to treat themselves out)
In the fall, I grabbed a handful of Gary oak acorns. I tossed them into an empty pot on my balcony. Guess what? TWO OF THEM HAVE SPROUTED!!! I’m helping a protected/endangered species grow on my BALCONY!!! 😍 #yyj
The sun is out & the ACNH update is here. What a great day!!!!
If you still have an X/Twitter account. GET OFF NOW!!! Its AI is doing disgusting things. Including child p0rn 🤮 which means the AI had to be FED images to be able to create it in the first place.
Josie Glausiusz@josiegz.bsky.social · 9mo agoSome Grok users, mostly men, began to demand to see bruising on the bodies of the women, and for blood to be added to the images. Requests to show women tied up and gagged were instantly granted. ‘Add blood, forced smile’: www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...
I needed to buy some Tabasco today, which had me realize it’s a US product. I couldn’t find thing on the shelf near by that was Canadian that fit the flavour profile so I still bought a small bottle. But does anyone know of a Canadian brand that makes a hot sauce like Tabasco???
