Yesterday my pants were on backwards, today I brushed my teeth twice and my hair zero times.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll be able to manage my morning routine correctly?

I just realized my pants are on backwards, so that’s how today is going.

(Though in fairness, they aren’t real pants)

Gorgeous flowers from Victoria Fire Department Local 730, and Bonita Springs Professional Fire Fighters. From Florida to BC, we feel so supported. I can’t say enough about how having an auditorium full of dress uniformed Firefighters brought so much peace to my heart and soul. ❤️

Bulk white, yellow, and red roses and baby’s breath bouquets sitting in buckets, ready to be arranged.

Flowers procured for my Dad’s service this weekend. Got some friends coming tomorrow to make the arrangements. It smells heavenly in here! ❤️🌹💐

Can I refuse this delivery? 🤣

It’s naptime.

Well, at least this shouldn't trigger more tariffs.

Dog sleeping on a couch with his face under a throw pillow.

My dog. He’s refusing to watch.

I’m seriously considering just going about my day, pretending it’s just another Sunday… 😬

Phew. No shootout nonsense.

I had to look up the Olympic rules for a tie game - 20 min sudden death (as it should be).

Maybe it’s the early morning and/or the Bailey’s, but Barney Panofsky is especially entertaining right now. 🤣 🇨🇦vs🇺🇸🏒

Now I won’t be able to unsee that.

Mine (very) reluctantly moved from the bed to the couch, giving me dirty looks. He’ll be out of sorts all day.

There’s quite the little windstorm brewing outside. Fingers crossed for my precarious wifi!

Team Canada and Team USA have the same number of goals now. In hockey that is known as 'a tense game'.

Follow me for more thrilling hockey facts like this.

I added Bailey’s to my coffee.

I added so much Bailey’s, I need to re-heat it. 😬

I’m about to start making Joey Foo predictions.

“It’s 6:21am and if they can’t score on a 5-on-3…”

Lol. Has he come to his senses, yet? I’ve been tuning him out.

Present and accounted for.

🏒🇨🇦 roll call

Wow. I considered waffle mix but only managed to prep the coffee maker.

And my alarm is for 5:06am so nothing good better happen in the first minutes! Lol

Do I want to walk over to the neighbourhood pub at 5am to watch the gold medal game? 🤔

Or… do I want to eat leftover pizza in my PJs and not have to leave my house? ✅

I gave up on today and ordered pizza.

I don’t even like pizza.

But bread, meat, and cheese sounded good and I’m too lazy to chop, cut, and assemble.

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS
FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

Do you have the power to adopt a lobby cat, gym dog, or parking lot pony? What about a pizza oven on the roof?

Those are the strata superpowers you should strive for.

These CBC figure skating commentators are ruthless! I swear the women are going to break out into a pedantic nitpicky “well actually” fight with each other and poor Scott Hamilton is stuck in the middle. 😬

We better. I deliberately did half the yard work I should have using the excuse “it might snow” this week.

I made biscuits and gravy and they were delicious… totally inauthentic (I only had sausage and cheese smokies and Red Lobster biscuit mix) but a plates-licked-clean hit!

Lots of fresh ground black pepper. That was the key. 😀
