asserting my neighbourly dominance by clearing snow from my driveway before 9am.
Putting rival dads on notice!

I worked 11 hrs last night.
I have come home and scraped a truly skimpy and terrible caulking job off the tub and made my best effort at caulking the damn thing myself.
I have ~2 hrs to make some kind of dinner ("dinner") and go to bed to sleep 6 hrs to work a 12 hr shift.
But the fucking tub Is Done, Damn It.
@36pickledeggs I put on actual shoes, not crocs! #adulting #chikicon
I was feeling a little sad & out of sorts for the last day or two so my friend gave me Strawberry Shortcake stickers. Nice hit of dopamine finding these in my mailbox. #adulting
Photo shows 2 Strawberry Shortcake sticker sheets sitting on my counter.
SO! Apparently, you can't wear ski masks inside the mall. How did I find this out? Because I ran inside the mall wearing a ski mask and dark coat from the parking lot. There there was a blizzard outside. Upon crossing the magical automatic doors, I was immediately confronted by mall security telling me to remove my headgear.
The jerk in me really wanted to argue the difference between niqabs and ski masks. But I was chill... all good.
I suppose I should be glad security was actually doing their job and attempting to keep the mall safe.
Special Weather Statement for Toronto!

And and and! Guess who has to roll out garbage bins to the curb tonight?
I swear high winds ONLY blow through when it's garbage day! Gonna have to chase my bins down the street yet again.
We've heard for years that young people's brains are not fully formed until about age 25.
Neuroscience now says the threshold of adolescence ending is more like age 32.
Easier said than done, of course

The brick wall I'm sprinting towards is going to hurt when I smack into it. #adulting
Huh. It’s been my theory that you don’t really become a fully-functioning adult and lose that juvenile self-centeredness until the age of 35 or so. And now science backs me up! Neat, eh?

ALSO for some stupid reason I bought a stand up desk during Black Friday WEEK sales.
I just spent the last hour clearing up a spot for it. Eventually I'll get around to assembling it! ... Stupid me 🙃
I need to start wearing this to protect myself from all the young hot women that want me for my dad bod and receding hairline with pre-existing heart condition and graphic designer salary...
Finally get a compliment from my kid about my cooking (dinner)
It was a heat-and-serve meal from Costco.
Well, my lower back had something to say last night about all the tension, cold, and sitting involved in Friday's work moving my 92YO mother to memory care.
So: currently alternating 1000 mg acetaminophen with 600 mg ibuprofen at 3 hr intervals. Also copious hydration to keep it all moving around.
Works great. Better living through signal damping.
Repaired the coat hook rack in the hallway 👍
Reorganized the sock drawer 👍
Argued with someone 5000 miles away about who the coolest SW droid is (IG-88 is the correct answer) 👍
