Girl Friday

An absolute menace. My tummy hurts and I’m mad at the Government. Sometimes funny. AKA: Manda, Amanda, Manders. *opinions are mine* #freePalestine Kjipuktuk, Mi’kma’ki. (Halifax, NS) https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/10ED3C25RAUAL?ref_=wl_share

I am on the hunt for an emergency cell phone. Just any old phone that could be attached to a person’s current plan. They have a pretty small budget though of about $50. Android or iPhone they are not picky. I don’t suppose anyone in these parts looking to part with an old cell phone?

Someone in my office today mentioned the brand of our office air purifier… and now FB is pushing ads for that brand of air purifier. It’s actually terrifying how our phones quite literally listen to us. (She says, typing from a phone that listens to us 🙃)

Friendly reminder to everyone up in arms that folks who use substances are in seniors housing. If you’re a person with substance use disorder, that disorder doesn’t vanish when you become a senior.

I was telling someone some stuff about my life - and they were like “bro you should write a book” and I was like “I’m not that interesting” and they were like “you just told me 4 of the craziest stories I’ve heard in a while, I would read that book” I forget sometimes I’ve done some living lol

While I was driving today I was thinking about my friend Heidi. Just thinking about how we became friends and how lucky I was to have known her / and then Hootie and the Blowfish came on the radio, and the car that passed me had an HBB license plate. And those are her initials and she LOVED Hootie

Took a bit to get down rocky lake rd - but once I got there it was pretty smooth sailing from Bedford, onto the 102 and home. Hearing(reading) that a van jumped the median going in bound and landed on multiple cars going outbound. I hope everyone is as okay as possible.

a gentle reminder if you are stuck in the traffic on the 102 or Bedford Highway or Bedford Commons & feeling frustrated that at least you weren’t part of an accident that happened & it’s not as bad as it is for some other folks. Take a deep breath put on some good tunes. We’ll get home eventually.

My mom had a whole closet full of little gifts. Mostly silly stuff or re-gift things. She never wanted to be caught without a gift for someone. I gave a lot of it out to the kids at Xmas but kept a few small odds and ends for important celebrations. Booba will get a gift from Gigi for her 16th.…

16?! SIXTEEN!!! My baby girl is 16. 😭 How did this happen?! I think this one especially stings because she’s the baby and she’s not a baby at all anymore. She’s funny, smart, loves animals, creative and brave. Everything I ever wanted to be at that age. I love her to the moon and back.

My dad very excitedly handed this to me. He planted orange seeds from an orange he ate and the sprouted! He kept 2 for himself and gave me the rest. Let’s see if we can grow an orange tree lol

Find me where the wild blueberries grow. *in my parents yard* Few things bring me straight back to my childhood like picking wild blueberries. My mom, myself and my sister would spend hours picking them up by the old CHNS tower at the top of Tremont.

Mooks took Booba and her friend out for early birthday dinner this eve. Booba was very excited to be chaperoned by her auntie instead of me or her mom. I can’t believe Booba will be 16 in TWO DAYS 😭
