Combat this Endless Winter for $4

1 package of 5 carnations = $4

Divide in 2, place where you spend the most time. Then they’re always in your peripheral vision, brightening it, tricking your brain. Seems silly, but it works.

Mine are in: bathroom while I get ready for the day, and centre of my work space.

Carnations last forever; these are almost a week old.

That’s why they’re often This Weeks Flowers.

Ladies: been wearing heels at home, it kinda helps too.

 

 

Another Selfie in my Winter Coat on a Grey Day

kk first time I type it…this WINTER, this never-ending winter, it suuuuucks so f-cking mega hard complete garbage worst in 25 years EVER.  

100 days of winter, a THIRD of a year.

My tricks aren’t working anymore (it’s the price of living in Canada / you could live in Rwanda / this / makes us a tough people) but nope. Over. It.

If it’s possible to perish from ennui, I might.
Such a first-world thing to say, don’t care.

I have no new photos to blog because I haven’t taken any, why, it’s just more big black boots and coat, vacant eyes framed by dirty grey snow.

Oh there’s plenty to do (today I published 4 articles across 3 sites, plus a Mississauga meeting), but boooored, it all feels so beige, blablablaaa. That’s why Twitter & Instagram sit neglected. What is even the point of anything. It’s all meaningless.

All right enough now, emo post out, one last time, this WINTER.

</rant>

That actually kinda helped. Thanks.

TTY Monday, least it’s the weekend eh! Hope it’s a good one.

I’m still sick, so I haven’t much planned: some blog backend work lined up, a couple places to be, I hear the casino calling, and put some time into About pages and a spreadsheet.

And go for a long, destination-less drive, that always helps.

If you’re into that too, here’s a couple drive routes I designed: one for morning, one for night, and my favourite on-ramp in Toronto.

 

 

Renovated my Home Tonight

Was too meh tonight to feel being around people, TBH.

I am mega meh.

It’s so #FirstWorldProblems to say, but omg the ennui.

So I put my head down, and did manual labour for a few hours.

After.

Helped.

Trying to shake off the winter doldrums with some change here.
