Egypt will open its border tomorrow at 9 am to allow humanitarian aid in for Gaza
People from all over world hit the streets this weekend to use one voice to advocate for Palestine.
I’m encouraged to see so many people advocating for peace despite a media environment that did everything it could to manufacture consent for more war. Leaders are speaking about Palestinian statehood.
Got off the bus 1 stop early by mistake. Got to witness a speeding car fail to brake for the red light, barely miss the bus & wind up colliding with the pole where I would have normally gotten off.
This librarian gets to spend the day looking for new agriculture and food science books to buy for our university library collection (yay!)
I'm having leftover home-made lasagne for lunch (double yay!)
I get to use this post to tell you about the #3goodthings hashtag, which you can use in your own toots, as well as search for what other people share as their 3 good things today! Let's spread a bit of positivity across the fediverse! 😀
Temperature didn’t get out of the 30s today so the soup was especially good.
I got caught up on my writing with the writing partners who commented while I was with Mama.
We purchased two more Christmas movies this evening with #AudioDescription. Now we need to sit down and watch them. Maybe we’ll do that while we’re putting up the tree. 🎄
Sleep well and may your dreams be out of this world. 🤗🫶❤️🫂
I got a long walk in today, taking advantage of these days off to get ahead on my latest mileage goal.
A hot tub eased my tight muscles, and a murder mystery on my iPad kept me in there long enough to feel the benefit.
I finished organizing new games (Everdell, Wingspan Asia, and Calico), and I’m ready to watch some instructional videos and take them on. #3GoodThings#Thursday

Son got off work early. We ran errands and had lunch together. I felt happy.
Got a lot of stuff done in my "zone" today aka the bedroom that I basically live in until I figure out where I want to live and what I want to live in, including the odd odor that was stanking up my room. Thank you Arm & Hammer Extra Strength Carpet Odor Eliminator.
Day 5 of no work, no commitments. 4 days to go. Mental health for the win!
Daft laughs & online camaraderie in our growing band of #NorthernExposure fans with #NEWAL watchalong nights. If you’re a fan too, why not join us Weds and Sat eves 7pm GMT/UTC to catch 1, 2 or all 3 eps per sesh?
Icy weather with sun means home based work and serial tea drinking till Friday.
Smol boi improves from his sneezing bouts and earlier poorly state. Suspect products binned.
A group doing a program in the 1st floor conference room had a ton of leftover food, so our office got a free lunch.
After forwarding a coworker's snotty email to our bosses with a carefully worded request for them to deal with her, I got high fived by the phone supervisor for "the most professional 'tell that bitch to kiss my ass' email I've ever seen!"
Lots of progress with old family home work, including faffy jobs.
Genuinely believe I don’t need a lot of stuff to be content. #minimalist
Self-confidence increasing after long time of feeling flat, due to challenging myself to sort out horrible, tough stuff all on my own. Feeling more #fearless!
