I didn’t get the chewy edges on all three sides like I thought I would but they were really good.

After a year and a half battle with stage 4 ovarian cancer, my fiancée passed away in May. Due to logistical issues we couldn't have her service until today (9/4).

I felt like I was just starting to feel a little more like myself and then we had her service. Now I feel like it just happened and I'm back to day one.

I thought these services were supposed to help with the process but I just feel like I'm a mess again.

Trump in a press conference today, singling out Canada as a country the US could simply stop trading with entirely:

"All we have to do to cut our trade deficit with the country is not trade with them. Canada is one. If we don't do any trading with Canada, we just end all trade with Canada, we'd save ourselves $90 billion."

"Don't forget — they do all of their business, almost all of their business with the United States and we do a relatively small amount of business with them."

"If we were playing hardball, all we would do is say we're going to do no trading with Canada."

This comes on the same day Jamieson Greer said on Fox News that Canada "looked at the best deal square in the face and turned around" and that there have been no real negotiations — just "a couple of texts."

New Canadian counter-tariffs targeting American steel, manufacturing, and agriculture kick in Tuesday. The rhetoric keeps escalating on both sides.

For anyone with financial ties across the border — investments, retirement accounts, property — this isn't just political noise. Exchange rates, cross-border tax planning, and portfolio allocation are all directly affected.

My boy Louie loved hair ties as a kitten. I was warned by his vet at that time how dangerous hair ties are! I stopped using them 2 YEARS AGO. I noticed a year ago that Lou would vomit intermittently after eating. I thought to myself that cats just do that. It was never a daily thing- just off and on. He never had issues using the bathroom and never lost his appetite. Recently he had been throwing up multiple times a day. He became lethargic and I rushed him to the emergency vet. Welp…my sweet little innocent boy had a belly full of 35 hair ties. Who knows how long they’ve been in there. I felt horrible! He had surgery and is doing great. I hope this post will remind my fellow cat owners to keep hair ties away from their kitties! It’s an expensive lesson to learn.

About 1.5 years ago, I said that when I'd turn 30, I'd shave what little hair I still had.

To make sure I'd go through with it, I told as many people as possible.

So I should've seen it coming when I went to my parent's house to get it over with, that there'd be a surprise party for my baldening!

One thing I didn't expect is that it now always feels like I'm sweating, because I'm not used to feel cold from the sides of my head 😅

I feel like long socks with sneakers and shorts looks goofy but maybe that’s just me 🤷‍♂️
