My brain just puts the n in whenever I read "a historic" I'm not even sure which way I say it. Obviously the n is not necessary as we pronounce the h here, so I think I, at least sometimes, say "a historic" but my brain 100% thinks it should be written "an historic" and just subs it right in so I read it as "an historic" regardless of how it's written.

At the beginning of April I found the perfect mother's Day gift for me. It was in Etsy and was made and shipped from Ukraine. They estimated it would take two weeks to get here, but this seemed optimistic to me. I sent the link with the clear instructions that I wanted it for mother's Day and that it was from Ukraine so it would take a bit to get here. It was more than a month before mother's Day so I figured out would be ok. Mother's Day rolls and around and there's no present 🙄 they hadn't even ordered it 🤬. So they ordered it then. I just got it! I can't believe it only took 1.5 weeks via mail from Ukraine. Mail service is really amazing. Ukrainians are also amazing. Household males less so. Happy Mother's Day to me.

Wee bit sad as we're finally removing the kids' sandbox. It's like 14 years old and has held up remarkably well for something we built. But the kids are too old. Swing set should also be removed, it's just much trickier. That too had held up well. One of the neighbours was getting rid of it because they were moving and gave it to us so a a bunch of neighbours got together to move it into our yard around that time.

I often get food related hives in the summer (I don't know why, this started with my second pregnancy and that was more than 10 years ago, but wow whatever I ate a few days ago gave me huge hives/rash. Something from a bakery on mother's Day, I think. Ugh.

Is there a fediverse used market place? I really hate having to deal with FB, EB, or local classified websites that are overloaded with ads. Ugh. Buying used is getting more and more unpleasant.

People who park on the street while it's being street cleaned should have to pay for the street cleaners to come back.

Smoke numbers climbing in Ottawa. I think today is supposed to be the worst, so a good idea to keep an eye on it. https://map.purpleair.com/1/i/mAQI/a10/p604800/cC0?select=96219#11.89/45.3974/-75.71393

The "Buckle Up Tour" presented by Bud Light. Is this not promoting drinking and driving?

Went out before 9 this morning to take the laundry off the line and it smelled like campfire out there. Why are people burning stuff? Have they forgotten last year so quickly? We all know it's going to be more of the same thing year.

Cat is very pleased with himself for having stolen some peanut butter off the 10 yr old's plate. Cats are weird.

I'm amused that I told myself I need to wake up every 2 hours to check on the clouds. Went to sleep at 11, woke up at 1 and there were clouds, woke up again at 3 and the sky was clear. I guess this is some kind of feature leftover from having babies.

YouTube has just given up and is now just throwing commercials to me in any language. English, French, Chinese, and this week Korean! I have my language preferenced right there, in the YouTube settings, but 🤷🏼‍♀️
