But what if, and hear me out, I'd rather fucking die than spend my time with people who think I should be dead and that loads of my friends should be too, even if I'm "one of the good ones."

Less than a week of not moving because of the smoke and I’m at ground zero again. Tonight I tried to walk to Kaleido and only got two blocks. Last week I was measuring distance in kms. I’m so frustrated.

I had a rant today about the Northgate Mall. It is completely inaccessible right now for people with mobility issues and the Edmonton Bone and Joint Centre along with physiotherapy and imaging clinics are all on the second floor. And you can’t just choose a different bone and joint clinic.

I just want some swelling relief. The barometric pressure combined with the heat has been bonkers. The swelling has been so bad I’m in tears.

My mom was a stylist and said that men's cuts are actually more complicated and shouldn't cost less than a woman's cut. But that is the nature of the industry. I'm not sure why she didn't just charge an adult rate and a child rate, except to conform to industry.

Busy weekend. Walked a total of 8km over two days. Saw two new parks I have never been to. Designed and built a flower bed for the fall bulbs I have coming. Made some art. Did some writing. Spent quality time with David. Ate brilliant food. Walked a street festival. Talked more with my new bestie,

David took this picture on my 6km walk. It was a personal best record since before Covid and my hip died and was replaced. All I wanted in the world as a kid was a swing in a big old tree. Today I found one and was not going to waste the moment without actually doing it. This photo is of pure joy.

Keys were located. Uber didn’t contact my driver and they also did NOT get in touch with me at his request. I was unable to cancel the $600 new fob order and my old fob doesn’t work and it will cost me $100 to reprogram it. So thanks, Uber. I think?

We live in a challenging neighborhood and while reorganizing the other day, I put a stack of skulls out on top of the little free library thinking someone would take them. Books have been coming and going but the skulls are still there. I guess it is our haunted little free library now.

Them to fix my car. I need to get it to Hyundai to replace the fob. So I had to call again. And of course I could not talk to a human. I finally managed to half assed navigate their system. A driver called me shortly after. He was going to need a neutral override to do the job which meant

This is the most Monday that ever Monday’d. I lost my keys this weekend. I can’t get around. I contacted Uber and no one has gotten back to me yet so I contacted Hyundai and they need the car towed because it is a keyless entry fob. Tech is great except when it isn’t.
