Bathroom 🚽 humor beyond me, I’m catching the express bus 🚍 downtown. Another busy day ahead. I went out for an early morning bike ride and had johnny cakes for breakfast 🥞 with lots of spinach and peppers topped with cottage cheese. It’s busy learning so much in my new position. 🖥 Probably I’ve been watching too much Brappie on YouTube lately. Silly cannuck redneck shit. That said, eating lots of fiber is essential for healthy living.

Wasn’t a half bad morning for the ride. 🚲 With the clouds a bit dark but not terrible. Tomorrow I’ll probably ride my bike to work. The rail trail looks like it’s mostly clear of snow 🌨 and I don’t have to dress up for work tomorrow. Friday also looks like I’m likely going to be able to ride in to work. ☺ That puts a smile on my face.
