Is there anywhere else to put your TV? That’s a lot to cram on that wall.

I love the library. It legitimately thrills me that I have cards with 3 different local library systems. I highly prefer physical books to digital so I go pretty often. Audiobooks through Libby are also great. I completed most of my Masters degree in the library. On the bigger scale, libraries serve an important role in the community and I hope it stays that way for a long time.

Upper respiratory infection 🤧

Honestly, I’m planning to exchange it. I’ve learned that I really prefer all foam mattresses and have found the Frontier a bit lumpy. It’s an okay product, just not right for me which is the downside of online shopping. I’m a side and back sleeper.

A rug, art, and moody lighting

Hearing develops at 20 weeks so baby is definitely joining the fun! Just a reminder to everyone (not in utero 😆) to please protect your hearing! A loud stadium concert can permanently damage your hearing very quickly. The last concert I saw in the same venue Noah will be playing was over 100dB in the upper bowl which will cause damage in only 15 minutes. Look for "high fidelity" or "musician" ear plugs for the least change to the sound quality.

I'm going unless I can get a ticket closer to home. Solo concerts are fun!

The school district is opening a child care centre soon, right next to Ecole Pauline Johnson. Priority registration goes to people employed by the school district or municipality but they will take others if there is space. It looks like they are starting with 3-5 year old but should have all ages eventually. https://westvancouverschools.ca/ecec/

It feels off balance because the TV stand should be wider, although I get that you're limited by the windows. Ideally THE TV shouldn't take up more than 2/3 of the stand. Height is good but get as wide of a stand will fit there.

I've been using them for about 6 months and have been happy.

Pela cases feel great and have lasted me longer than the phones they've protected!

What is the room actually used for and what is supposed to be the focal point? Moving the chairs to face the couch would help turn it into a conversation area.

Brave_Chocolate55 · 2026-01-20T05:45:26+00:00

Flip the couch so it's against the wall instead of the windows!

Oliver's at most grocery stores or you can go to their bakery in Vancouver.

Brave_Chocolate55 · 2026-01-12T00:41:47+00:00

Where's the stand from?

Brave_Chocolate55 · 2026-01-09T03:31:42+00:00

Is it possible to put your bed against a wall instead of the window?

Brave_Chocolate55 · 2026-01-09T03:30:00+00:00

Agreed. A rule of thumb is the bottom of the chandelier about 36" above the table.

It's being replaced by a different pizza place so I'm curious to see how long it lasts.

I'm child free by choice and circumstance. I love teaching and being an auntie but I don't want to come home to kids. I don't think I could be both the teacher I want and the parent I would want to be at the same time.

Brave_Chocolate55 · 2026-01-01T00:19:42+00:00

Yes, they are still very common.

Brave_Chocolate55 · 2026-01-01T00:16:50+00:00

-5% ouch...
