november 26 etc
For two hours this evening I was convinced I was going to have a heart attack. It wasn't pleasant. I literally texted my mom to ask if we had a history of heart disease or issues in our family, a thing I have somehow never asked before despite being 47 years old.
Aging is weird. I was going to write hard but it's not hard because you don't have a choice. So yeah, going with weird.
Weird how? I find myself caring about things I never cared about before... but I think it's because I'm doing... kind of... fine?
I used to think the struggle was to get to the place of happiness and contentedness. Not getting what you want but wanting what you've got. That kind of thing. And it is. But that's only half of it. It's about getting there and climbing on top, but then it's about not letting life buck you off.
#Also also also:
Black Friday is almost upon us, which means that I am once again asking someone to build a new version of the Black Friday Death Count tracker.
I don't want anyone to die for trying to buy a cheap air fryer, obviously. It's just that the tracker laid the truth of that day is/can be pretty bare and I enjoyed the contrast with the buy buy buy of it all.
You know?
#Also also:
A way I know nature is healing is that Toronto Life profiled the delightful weirdo who runs the Instagram account of a Shoppers Drug Mart location in Toronto. (For the Americans, Shoppers Drug Mart = kind of like CVS x Target but 20% less nice than you're thinking.)

The Blue Jays just signed Dylan Cease The Blue Jays just signed Dylan Cease The Blue Jays just signed Dylan Cease The Blue Jays just signed Dylan Cease The Blue Jays just signed Dylan Cease The Blue Jays just signed Dylan Cease and I am excited because he is a very good pitcher but also because this is in his wiki at present:
Cease is an amateur disc golfer who has teamed up with six time world champion Paul McBeth to purchase two properties that will feature disc golf courses. Cease practices mindfulness and wears the uniform number 84 because of the 84 asanas.
Yeah he's gonna fit in well.
