I ate a poutine tonight called The Heart Attack, and it is pretty tasty. Not my favourite but it will do. You can’t go wrong with deep-fried cheese. We will see how I feel later.

Do any of you shop the Nordstrom Sale? I haven’t been into a Nordstrom since December 2019, and am not a frequent online shopper of them. I appreciate their in-store more.

It is our 17th wedding anniversary today. Sometimes it seems so far away and then other times I can still remember the frustration and disappointment that people kept bringing me water.

Don’t get me wrong, I was appreciative that they even thought to bring me over something because it was a pretty good party and there was a lot of drinking involved, but I really, really hate water.

It makes me gag.

I got to experience something today that I haven’t since I was a teenager. I was out running errands on foot, and I knew that it was going to rain before I even left the house. I wore my sneakers so I could move fast, and I brought an umbrella.

What I didn’t think through was my choice of trousers.

I wore these.

It looks like it is going to rain for the next 5+ days and I’m not going to complain about it. In fact, I am looking forward to it. It will be hot still so we can just sit on the balcony and enjoy the rain, maybe I will read a book during the actual day instead of 2 o’clock in the morning like I do every night.

I hit my 500th consecutive day on Duolingo today. I started just before the pandemic and am honestly surprised that I haven’t missed a day. Merle hit her 63rd consecutive day for German.

I am sitting here at midnight staring at a box of jello that my youngest daughter placed on my desk so that I wouldn’t forget to make it before I go to bed. So it looks like I’m making jello later.

The amount of laundry that appeared in the last 48 hours in mind boggling.

It finally happened. We finally started to open back up again. Our province moved into level one reopening which means that non-essential businesses that have entrances that open to the outside can reopen.

This means that malls are still closed, well most stores. All the ones you can access from outside entrances are open, so we finally go to the bookstore today. It was nice.
