#KWAwesome #Kitchener #Waterloo #CambridgeON

Holy cow. #waterlooregion #kwawesome please be careful and stay home if you can today.

ALL schools, primary through postsecondary are closed, and I've seen some people grousing about that and "it's not that bad".

Well, two vehicles this morning have launched right off the 7/8 flyover onto King St. below. 1 fatality, one serious injury.

Doesn’t beat the urbanism of an LRT line anchored by giant iconic malls at both terminals. #kwawesome

Sock School with Johanna, January 11, 18, and 25, 10:00 am

Today we found two unopened cans of cocoa, both best before 2021, and a can of cocoa sooooo old that it didn’t have best before dates on it. I purchased the latter one from Mr. Grocer (which hasn’t existed since the 90’s) for $2.99! πŸ˜‚πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Memories of #KWAwesome #WRAwesome

It's been brought to my attention that while #BuyNothing groups are pretty useful, they tend to exist mainly on Facebook. It'd be nice to have such a group for #WaterlooRegion here on the fedi as well.

I'd be happy to set one up, but if there's one that already exists, I'd rather use that than start from scratch. Is anyone aware of such a group here?

#KWAwesome #WRAwesome #Kitchener #Waterloo #Cambridge #Guelph

GUELPH, KW, NEARBY: a fedi-friend is looking for some in-person support around negotiating a move in the coming month. Needs muscle but also personal mgmt assistance.

If you are, or know of, a PSW, personal assistant, home organizer type who has sufficient time, spoons to share - please reach out.

I am in deep kaka at this point. Desperately need help to get moved in Nov, and I am struggling to manage illness basics, hobbled by covid executive function injury, vision loss due to meds (can't drive). So pitching a different angle: Anybody within a day's drive of southern Ontario wanna come out for a month? Get me moved and back on the rails. I have the old apt you can stay in, and will dip into my LOC to pay for lots of hours and any expenses. I'm in #Guelph https://disabled.social/@vlrny/115378384887512676
