Hi-ho! Happy last full week of April! We are all hurtling through time at an unimaginable pace and before we know it we will all return to dust.
It’s my birthday on Thursday! I’m going to be 33 years old. In a few months I will hit 11 years of living in Winnipeg which is the longest I have ever lived in one place ever. I never thought I’d be here but here I am, and I love it.
I was at the Lucky Girl Pop Up last weekend and I had such a great time. Thank you so much to everyone who came out!! It was so great, in fact, that I decided to work on my birthday and set up a table at another small market on the 25th! I’ll be hanging out in the Richardson Building Concourse with a bunch of other vendors at the Made Here MB POP! Open House from 11 AM-2 PM. I really hope to see you there, those of you who are willing and able!
In other news, for those of you who have been unfortunate enough to be around me over the last week or so, you’ll know that I hit my head at the playground and have been working through a mild concussion. You’ll know this, because I absolutely will not shut the fuck up about it. I was at the playground with the kiddo and cracked it real good on a metal bar that I couldn’t see. I actually got a DM from a stranger who correctly deduced exactly which playground this happened at, because they did the exact same thing last year lmao.
It was just such a novel experience! I had such weird things like… NYT Connections was fine to do but the Mini hurt. I’ve never had it be so uncomfortable to think like that before. Like a pressure valve building up. And when I’d rest after too much mental activity the top of my head would get all cold and tingly like it was cooling down. And falling asleep, I was seeing such insanely vivid images behind my eyelids which I’ve never really had before. I don’t know if any of this was real or just psychosomatic but it was a very strange sort of injury and all of it caught me by surprise.
As of writing, I’m feeling pretty much all the way better. A couple mild lingering symptoms but the loopiness/feeling like I just chugged 3 beers is gone, and while it’s still pretty hard to catch and hold onto my thoughts (or anything, because my hands are still a little stupid too) because they’re slippery little bastards and my net is full of holes, it’s way better than it was. It’s just mostly regular bad brain day stuff for me, which I can handle.
I’m SO glad it’s mostly gone. That first day of not doing stuff was very boring, and it really sucked being trapped at home because going for a walk in the sun made me nauseous, and I didn’t trust myself to drive impaired. It was nice, however, to have an excuse to do very little over the week and spend some time just taking care of myself, which I haven’t done in… uhhhhhhhh… way too long. Okay! I’ve beat this horse well past death. Time to never talk about it again!
Thought snippets!
The Jets are in the playoffs!!! Let’s fuckin GOOOOO. If the rest of the series goes like last night’s game I may not survive.
Dracula Daily starts again right away! Dare I read about the adventures of my dear friend Jonathan Harker again? I do love it. It’s like the world’s biggest book club, and I do really recommend reading it day by day in real time. AND! Dracula is actually such a banger of a book. If you want to…. just gonna leave a lil link here for ya… Mina Harker 4ever yuhyuhyuh!!
My two year old is potty training herself, god bless. She also tried to headbutt me last night. She has ALSO taken to walking around singing Happy Birthday to nobody in particular. I had to sing Happy Birthday as a lullaby roughly 40 times before bed the other night.
I think I had something else to say but you know what. Holes in the ol’ brain net. She GONE.
Okay have a good week everyone!
