I found this to be really interesting. I’ve been trying to understand how people connect 5G to COVID (as one example) and other theories about how the world works for awhile.

Trump, QAnon, and the Return of Magic

I was looking through my archived posts and came across this reminder of why I don’t date.

Some day, I’ll be able to see an opportunity and take it immediately without agonizing over it for several days. Overthinking and being cautious is exhausting.

Attention #coffee lovers: check out Model Bean Coffee.

Columbian-Canadian family importing the beans from their family farm in Columbia, then roasted locally. Two roasts currently, dejabrew (my preference) and 6am. Free pickup in #Kelowna

I always forget how good it feels to let go clients that have been draining me over the last few months. I need to do a better job of avoiding them from the start. The money isn’t worth the effort.

Does anyone else find it weird that it’s acceptable to start a business letter with “Dear”? Seems so personal to me.

When I was ten years old, I barely knew or cared about what a bank was.

My daughter at ten is calling the phone support line for her bank account because her transactions aren’t going through properly and doesn’t want any assistance from me.

This is my 11th summer in Kelowna.

The first summers here were a struggle, because of the heat. This weekend, temperatures reached 40C. I loved it.

Then I look at Whitehorse (where I moved from) and it’s barely hitting 20C there.

So that’s why I struggled.

The worst emails I receive say something like, “Please call me tomorrow to discuss.”

I wish I understood why I get so worn out when plans change. I was excited for where things were going but now someone else decided to change us towards a new (still exciting) direction. It’s hard to feel energized for the new thing.

Like a lioness stalking her prey, my daughter is keeping a close eye on the pool in my building, waiting for the younger kids to leave for supper so she can pounce.

Still 34 degrees here in Kelowna at 6pm.

After having another bourbon, I’ll admit that there are a lot of good series out there and we can’t watch them all- but Peaky Blinders is one to watch.

I’m disappointed that none of you pointed out how excellent ‘Peaky Blinders’ is and I had to rely on Netflix recommending it to me.

On a more positive note, marking this day as an important one in the start of a new venture. Four hour morning meeting to start the initial plans. Haven’t been this excited in awhile.

‪I’ll forever never understand how my ex can exhaust me completely by midday. ‬

Having one of those nights where I wish the responsibilities of tomorrow would disappear so I can remain as relaxed as I’m currently feeling and put off heading to bed even further.

It’s surreal to be sitting here watching a memorial service on Zoom this morning.

Life comes at you fast. Today, my ten year old daughter asked her crush out to the grade 5/6 dance.

It sounds like the blues, man.

Can we talk about how amazing the 2nd season finale of Sex Education is?

Today is a day of hot tea and Fisherman’s Friends. So tired.

Parenting is so different when I can sit at Indigo with my Starbucks while my daughter wanders the mall on her own.

I wish I understood why people feel the need to micro-manage from a distance when things are going well. I am feeling quite fatigued today from it.

Boring Friends

“We know only four boring people. The rest of our friends we find very interesting. However, most of the friends we find interesting find us boring: the most interesting find us the most boring. The few who are somewhere in the middle, with whom there is reciprocal interest, we distrust: at any moment, we feel, they may become too interesting for us, or we too interesting for them.”

I wish I could control my frustration better when people don’t follow simple instructions. I internalize it, but still burns strong within me.
