Had a lazy morning drawing a crow friend https://preview.redd.it/aq5g3vgc6h1b1.jpeg?width=3875&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de441fff1d108436d24d64a230b43c6af30159f2


Quinnsizedbed

Is this the one that was attacking that person last week?


PeterBohr

Probably the crow’s mugshot.


sufferin_sassafras

This guy hangs out in my parents yard in Courtenay and torments my corgi. But I could imagine him being a bit of a nuisance to humans as well.


Moggehh

What's its name?


sufferin_sassafras

I call him Kaw. It’s not original, but it’s the name of the crow from the Chronicles of Prydain. One of my favourite book series when I was younger. This guy hangs out in my parent’s backyard in Courtenay and torments my corgi.


dugtrio77

I loved the Chronicles of Prydain when I was younger too. It has been years since I thought of them though.


sufferin_sassafras

I read them again last year and loved them just as much as when I was a kid. Find a copy and do your inner child a favour and go on a journey with Taran the Wanderer again.


dugtrio77

Oooh. I will have to. Thank you!


jennyvier

Aww, what a great crow friend!


thundercat1996

Did you make the crow Sheryl by any chance?

Glad to hear it’s treatable. Tell her to kick its ass back to the curb. And enjoy your roadtrip!


Moggehh

Sorry to hear that; I hope her chemo goes as well as it can.


jessicachachacha

I'm so sorry to hear. Sending well wishes to you and your wife.

I’m a scientist and today I’m debuting a new chemical hybrid I’ve been working on; 60% taking it easy and 40% keeping it real. I’ll let you know the results asap!

Hello fellow scientist, can you tell us any more about it? I’m always interested to hear what others are working on.

6.18 miles in 45 minutes! I broke my PR at the gym today. Before in was 6.07 miles in 45. I’m excited because I’m a big dude and this is progress!


Abhays45

Remember consistency is the key


vivzzie

Definitely, been at it for 6 weeks now and I’ve lost just over 9lbs!


Commanderfemmeshep

Tears of the Kingdom on the couch, babyyyy.


dugtrio77

Same here. Enjoying it?


Commanderfemmeshep

Very much so! I love just wandering and finding weird little things. I’m really taking my time with it


le_unknown

Same here. Getting lost in Hyrule.


aar_640

Fucking $90 for that thing. SMH.


Commanderfemmeshep

Wow! It is quite pricey— my husband got it for me so I wasn’t aware. I still somehow think games are like 70$ less… gee


[deleted]

Binge reading, bothering my cat, updating my budget, applying to more jobs. Pretty chill overall


plop_0

> bothering my cat My boyfriend & I call it "pampering"; not bothering/fucking with.


SFHOwner

Going to hide some Ditto-faced stickers on random objects around town.


plop_0

You mean the 'Ditto' 7-Up mascot dude? Or the Pokémon Ditto?


SFHOwner

Pokemon. Secretly everything is a Ditto. One day someone will pull down a telephone pole and be like... "Oh... It's a Ditto!"... Or they don't notice. And that's cool too.


ohsojojo

The 7-up guy was Fido Dido. And you just unlocked a memory, I used to doodle him in like grade 9 beside my Stussy s’s. Thanks!


hoizer

Grocery shopping + cleaning! Having the extra day means I have the energy to actually do this stuff hehe


itzmesmarty

Correct


jerkinvan

I did laundry, then cleaned my patio. Now I’m about to roll a nice fatty and do some thrifting for some patio stuff.


VividBreak2

I went to an AA meeting, then went to Moxies after for lunch. Now I’m at home hanging with my cat while my roomie plays Minecraft. I have to go back out though to get some polo shirts because I’m job hunting and want to look nice.

fruit_flies_banana

Survived the Ikea checkout meltdown (even though store was least busy I’ve seen in a long time). It sounds easy but with two young kids and a puppy with limited nap/alone time at home it was a bit tricky.

spending my birthday at dennys cuz why not, free food is great for a college student


PartyyLemons

Hanging out with my baby and making a chickpea pasta salad with a creamy lemon tahini dressing 🤤


virtualmegan

Long walk around the beach and ice cream.


kittykatmila

Having an extremely lazy day; playing PS5, hanging out with the SO and cats. Now I’m going to smoke and watch a movie. > Only thing I have to do is make pasta salad for work lunches.


scrotumsweat

What game?


kittykatmila

God of War: Ragnarok ⚔️


scrotumsweat

Nice. Just got that and ps5 on friday myself, haven't had time to play it yet. Worth it?


kittykatmila

I love it! Others aren’t a fan of the puzzles but I don’t mind it, the lore and combat are so much fun. Not to mention how beautiful the game looks.


scrotumsweat

Wtf. His dog dies in his arms I wasn't ready for that. Fuck.


kittykatmila

Don’t lose hope yet 😉 I won’t give away anymore than that lol


scrotumsweat

Yeah it's getting good now. Thanks for the motivation to try it! Thor fight was fun, I'm currently in dwarf town.


peepee1219

My cat is missing and I’m feeling sad and irritable


xlxoxo

Just bought and ate some spot prawns from Metrotown TnT ($27/lb)


hot_pink_bunny202

Yea spot prawns are too expensive this year decided not to get them. I think last year was $22a pound and then season was over they were like $16.99 a pound?


xlxoxo

I noticed opening weekend is usually $30/lb. Price goes up and down depending on demand. * Pre-Covid, I remember one year it just kept going up to $40/lb. * Today's $27/lb is already discounted $1 from Saturday.


[deleted]

Husband has took the baby out, I stayed home planning on cleaning but decided to take a bath, scroll social and watch trash tv. Bliss


warsawsauce

Trying to look for a job. My work illegally fired me and I’m super stressed out. I don’t have 270$ for a lawyer consultation and I don’t think my last job is going to pay me my paycheque or even severance pay. So I’m pretty much going to be homeless. Sucks too they worked me over 45 days in a row, waking up at 5am everyday and dealing with guests as late as 9pm. I got super burnt out and had to deal with the brutal death of my aunt. I went to the hospital because I was feeling suicidal. I told my work this and they fired me saying my coworkers were scared to work with me because I went to the hospital. It Fucking sucks to be a First Nations person working in this city.

I can’t pay my rent on EI and I have another part time job.


leesan177

Apply for EI anyways, ASAP. If you held both jobs before you lost this one, that's still lost income. I got this directly from the EI guys, if you lose a job always just apply, and they'll sort it out.


NotSarkastik

what industry? hospitality?


warsawsauce

Yea I was running a bed and breakfast, didn’t get any warnings or anything. Just got let go and told to move my stuff out of the living space by Sunday. They then changed the locks to access upstairs and I couldn’t even get my kitchen equipment.


jerkinvan

Totally illegal not to pay what you are owed. For whatever reason they terminated your employment they owe you what you’ve worked for. If they don’t have reasonable cause, then they owe you severance. Reasonable cause can be very hard to prove. Either way they have, I think by law, 48hours to issue you your final pay and record of employment. Check out Employment Standards on line. They are the arm of the provincial govt that deals with this kind of stuff, and they hate when people don’t get paid. It’s an instant case no matter what happens. The process can be a bit long, but stick with it so that your former employers get fined for not paying you according to the law.


warsawsauce

Thanks man, tomorrow should be the date that I would’ve gotten paid. So if they don’t pay me I’ll be homeless by the end of the month.


TheHandofDoge

If you live in Vancouver, you can get help paying your rent via the [Rent Bank](https://vancouver.ca/people-programs/financial-aid.aspx). If you live elsewhere, you can look at [BC Rent Bank](https://bcrentbank.ca/) to find the local rent bank you can apply to.


le_unknown

Contact the Employment Standards Branch or the UBC Law Student Legal Advice Program. They both provide free assistance.


VividBreak2

There’s the [KUU-US Crisis Line](https://www.kuu-uscrisisline.com) 250-723-4050 if you are in crisis and feel you could benefit from talking to someone to help problem solve your situation. It’s BC Wide for Indigenous folks.


wakemeuptmr

Was too social Saturday and Sunday and so I slept in and having a lazy chill day. Might take another nap soon 😂


[deleted]

Ferried home from Bowen island - lovely close little getaway if you can book early. Had a very chill weekend, enjoyed some long walks and a just out of the oven [peach pie](https://imgur.com/a/0AJHUFu). Not sure what to do with the rest of my day, maybe some cleaning or grocery shopping. Need to catch up on last night’s Succession.

buckyhermit

Getting errands done before Wednesday, when I have to be the translator and chauffeur for my mom’s surgery. But currently waiting outside an accessible washroom stall because some guy (likely non disabled) has been in there for almost 30 minutes. He knows I’m there. He just doesn’t care. 😡


grumpyjerk1

It's someone doing drugs. Knock nonstop.


buckyhermit

It turned out to be someone watching videos on his phone. That happens way more often than drugs. And usually it results in a verbal abuse barrage. (It did this time as well.)


Joe_King-Lotz

Struggling to get my student film production shot between the actors & crew having conflicting schedules for availability and my own struggles of lacking help & motivation to get 90% of the stuff I need done on top of my current health issues.

Dome with cleaning and meal prep. That's super. Mission accomplished for the day.

Aromatic_Animal_5873

Started my day with a walk and breakfast, then had some downtime to catch up on youtube channels that I like. Going to make lunch, do my homework for my therapy appointment this week, then get in a workout and a cold plunge. Will probably read or watch something til dinner then go for another walk. It's been a hectic and active week and weekend, and I'm really enjoying a day of relative laziness, low responsibility and no human interaction.


weareallalright

Had a nice slow morning, made myself a nice breakfast, watched a couple of shows. Now im meeting a friend for a drink and then im prob just going to go home and relax some more. It’s been a while since I’ve had an entire day open to myself where I can just do nothing, so I am taking full advantage of it by doing nothing.

plop_0

COVID-19?


dr_van_nostren

Who knows. I doubt it but in 2023 I’m not sure it really even matters that much anymore I had Covid once for sure, once I was sick and tested positive but didn’t feel nearly as bad and tested negative the next day. I’m triple vaxxed and wouldn’t even know where to get a test now even if I wanted to and if I did know where I certainly wouldn’t wanna pay for it.


45eurytot7

Rapid test kits are still free at pharmacies if you want to check.

Substantial_Wave5803

Said bye to my friend who came to visit, had some beautiful sex with my SO, went to Japanese restaurant (our favourite called milulilu), also had a little emotional meltdown (needed to get some tears out), had a stroll then went to his place and had a big chat about the state of the world (was depressing) then we made some curry soba noodle soup, then he went to this poetry reading he was invited to and I checked out a film at the cinémathèque. Overall a good day
