Wow…this one is hitting harder than most. I keep thinking of Xander’s line in “The Zeppo”: “I like the quiet.”

Rest in peace, man.

A rare political post

I rarely post about politics. It was a nice thing that we ruined. But occasionally I see interesting things.

Like Alberta’s Wicked Witch of the West indicating she is going through the process to get security cleared so she can be briefed on foreign interference. It’s notable to me because that’s the smart thing to do and she’s not in my mental list of smart people. It also demonstrates to Baby PP how adults handle things rather than making wild claims about being muzzled. Nenshi is behaving like an idiot, though. Can you imagine if politicians decided who could get security clearances?

Speaking of babies, little PP has somehow become several degrees less odious since the con leadership convention. I secretly think Harper had a chat with him about his massive incompetence as party leader, loosing easy election after easy election, including his own seat. He’s MP of Pity Junction, Alberta these days because his Ottawa riding didn’t like how he sided with convoy idiots.

Speaking of convoy idiots, I see that the Feds are appealing the ruling that its use of the Emergencies act to clear that shit show was unconstitutional. I’m not entirely sure that the Feds care if they win, or if it’s more about finding out if the law is even constitutional at all. Or, a second option, the law is constitutional but its use in specific that case was not. Either way, if the ruling goes against them that’ll be a strong indicator that the law needs refining to be applied properly.

That’s it. Happy weekend!

Welcome back to another week of gentle accountability, friends! I hope the days have been treating you well and that you've been finding time to breathe and center your needs.

If you're feeling it, please do share how your week had been, fitness-wise and/or otherwise. We're here to listen and not to judge.

My Week in Review )

I'm sending us all the good vibes I can spare, so our week is a good one, full of little victories and things that make us happy to be alive.

Happy Saturday!

I'm going to be doing a little maintenance today. It will likely cause a tiny interruption of service (specifically for www.dreamwidth.org) on the order of 2-3 minutes while some settings propagate. If you're on a journal page, that should still work throughout!

If it doesn't work, the rollback plan is pretty quick, I'm just toggling a setting on how traffic gets to the site. I'll update this post if something goes wrong, but don't anticipate any interruption to be longer than 10 minutes even in a rollback situation.

My mother died a few weeks ago, so amongst other duties, I'm donating some of her items - mainly clothes, though I did include a box full of books to the Epilepsy Foundation. So it's seven bags of her clothes (Four to EFMN, Three to Ridwell), one teddy bear from Valentines Day donated also in a box, and the aforementioned box.

Edit if I haven't mentioned it: We sold the Buick. :)

We've just had the time change, putting the clocks ahead an hour, and I'm doing better than I usually am with time changes, largely because I took a melatonin and made myself go to sleep on time. I woke up with some anxiety this morning, just a vague and general sense of unease, and I'm pretty sure it was caused by how dark it was thanks to the time change. I'm fine now.

All of this is to say that it's difficult enough for us to adhere to our routines without arbitrary policies adding further stressors.

Anyway, how has your week gone? Please do share your ups (yay!) and downs (boo!), if you're so inclined.

My Week in Review )

We'll all get through this together, friends. That's the thought I'm leaving you with this week.
