🛵 GreenDay, my lovely motorcycle, is gone. Sold it, at last. It had been sitting in the garage for way too long, and I really needed the money. So, farewell, my dear. We had good times.

⚽️ We moved away from the city, as we do most weekends, convinced we were super clever. The football championship celebrations happen very close to our place, so we expected things to get chaotic in town. By moving to the countryside, we’d escape the noise, the chaos. Of course we were unaware that the local countryside assholes would celebrate right beneath our window. It was a mess! Dog scared to death with the car horns, and explosions (why the fuck are these assholes always blowing up shit??), tinyMovieStar unable to sleep for the same reason. I dislike football in general, but I HATE these celebrations.

🗞️ The Bulls story was finally published, and made it to the front page. I was surprised with how happy I was, when I wouldn’t have thought about it for a second back in the day.

📷 One cancelled assignment, another one showing up right after that, and yet another one I had to turn down. This is the life of a freelancer, and I can only say I’m still not happy with it.

🚶🏻‍♂️ I went on a bigger walk this week. Taking photos along the way, going through some places I don’t often visit on my walks, prepping for the remote chance someone will take advantage of my new walkWithMe offer. I love going back to old places, and I did just that. Hidden streets right in the middle of the city are a favorite of mine. I went to my favorite bifana place, and found out my secret spot is not so secret anymore! And, for the first time in a very very long while, I did a 180, feeling a bit unsafe (or, a least not totally safe), when I went up a flight of stairs and found myself face to face with a half a dozen young dealers. Nothing would, probably, happen to me, but it was odd finding them, and having that feeling. Dead in the middle of downtown.

📺 Unstable. Another father/son show, but a very far cry from the genius of Schitt’s Creek (did watch a couple more episodes of this one as well). Succession, still not over for us.

🍿 Part of Blood & Gold.

🖼️ Finally ordered a new profile picture, from Andy Carolan. He’s a really cool designer, and all around great person. Can’t wait to see what he comes up with. This is part of a growing collection of commissioned profile pictures, a post will come, as soon as this one is delivered.

🪪 movieStar had a rehearsal for something she’s doing at kindergarten. She’s helping out another mom. tinyMovieStar and I were free for the morning, and decided to join the father and son couple of that other mom, and go to the local library. They were having a book reading session for kids. It was very enjoyable. Very. I came out of it with a library card, and books for tinyMovieStar. Sadly the library does not have an ebook service, but the card has a ton of cool perks attached, including access to PressReader. Cool!
