My apartment has more ongoing investigations than a true-crime podcast, and somehow I’m paying to be the main character.

I was already dealing with repair issues, landlord correspondence, and preparing a tenancy dispute. My camera roll is basically an evidence folder with occasional pictures of me trying to have a fucking life.

Then came the bites.

Now I’m dealing with the bed bug situation on top of everything else.

Two of the bites developed into cellulitis, I’m on antibiotics, and I’ve been waking up with more bites.

Pest control has come to inspect, and I’m adding another round of photos, emails, and follow-ups to the pile.

There is something particularly insulting about doing all your laundry and then waking up as breakfast anyway 😂

I would like to spend my time refinishing furniture, making some money, and doing literally anything that doesn’t require a timestamp!

Instead, being a tenant has become an unpaid administrative position where I also provide the catering.

I’m handling it. I’m documenting it. I’m making the calls. But holy fuck, I would like to be allowed to finish dealing with ONE thing before my apartment releases another expansion pack 😣

Anyway. That’s where we’re at. Paying rent to live inside an incident report…

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is appropriate, but I really just need some help right now. I've been really struggling mentally and I can't talk to anyone about it in my personal life because it's a lot for them right now (I don't blame them, it's not their fault). If there's anyone out there that's also struggling who is similar in age and we can check in with each other and hear each other out, I'd really appreciate it. Just wanting to feel a little human again is all.

I have a load of my son’s clothes that he’s outgrown and I’m wanting to pass them on to someone for free.

I‘d like to get them to someone who needs them rather than have the clothes going to a reseller where they might sit on marketplace for months (No problems with resellers, but I know money is tight for lots of us right now and I’m looking to help someone who might need them rather than selling them myself).

Any ideas on the best way to pass these along? e.g. charities in town that support single parents, people fleeing DV, or families accessing the food bank etc

Age 8-10 Lots of punky clothes (skulls, graffiti etc), some “gamer” prints, some mandalorian prints, some dinosaur print tshirts, lots of sweatpants/comfy pants, several hoodies

All of it in good condition with a couple of pieces only worn a handful of times.

We were enjoying a nice dinner and beer in downtown abbotsford tonight, when I gentleman stumbled in, after he had been pepper sprayed by a couple "teenagers" What is wrong with people, that they are walking around pepper spraying people for no reason? Whats going on??

To the "children" who decided to encite violence on a stranger tonight, I hope you feel "good" and "superior" to the gentleman who was minding his own business when you attacked him.

We spent some time, pouring milk into this man's eyes and all over his face, as he was COATED in pepper spray. I hope you are okay Luke! And I hope things can change...

Or hire someone to do it for me?
