Sorry I haven't been around this past week. The storm that hit Ottawa the Saturday before last knocked out my power for nine days and during that time I got three data cap warnings.
Normal shitposting and facial distortion will resume shortly.

Storm was on Saturday. We haven’t had power since.
Thankfully, we know people who have power.
Not a huge fan of this whole thing.
Exhausted & Overwhelmed
Hey angels 💕
I’m going to try and keep this post somewhat brief as I’m beyond tired at this point. On Friday September 21st at around 6pm, multiple tornadoes hit Ottawa and surrounding areas. One tornado tore through my neighbourhood and touched my home. My boyfriend and I ran outside and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. We are extremely lucky to have only minimal damage to our house, but most of my neighbours were unlucky. They lost roofs, walls, windows, and some of their cars were crushed or damaged by trees and other debris. Houses in Dunrobin, about 30 minutes outside of Ottawa, are completely destroyed.
Power was immediately knocked out city-wide and it was already getting dark outside. We were all working hard to help each other out, and firefighters came by a few hours later to check that everyone was accounted for. There were no deaths, thank goodness— but several people were injured and in critical condition. Power was restored to our neighbourhood early on Monday. We didn’t end up seeing any emergency crews, but roofers finally made it out later that morning to start repairing the houses that were badly damaged and they have been working every day since.
In the midst of the tornado madness, my boyfriend and I met with my sister and her childhood friend for dinner on Saturday, downtown, where they had power. We went to a tapas restaurant called Sidedoor and it was absolutely incredible. It was my first time trying tapas and I fell in love. It was really nice seeing our good friend too, especially through such a stressful time.
It was an exhausting weekend to say the very least. Being hit by the tornado itself was probably one of the scariest things I’ve ever experienced. I’m thankful to be okay, but I’m also feeling heartbroken because my boyfriend got the news that his dog passed away back home in Michigan. That was completely unexpected and made the tornado seem like almost nothing. He really is the most innocent and sweetest dog I’ve ever met, and I’m really happy that I was able to spend time with him.
I’m also babysitting my next-door neighbour’s kitten, Nova, until their roof is fixed! So that’s been nice. I’m going to be resting and concentrating on taking care of us this week. I wasn’t able to maintain my routine during the blackout so I’m feeling really off. I do have a ton of new posts I need to upload and I have some free resources in the works so check back in a few days.
I hope you’re all doing well, staying strong and being good to yourselves!!! What did you guys do this weekend?

My heart breaks for that poor man (my post’s title links to the tweet and the video)
A tornado cut a swath of destruction across west end Ottawa and Gatineau Friday, flattening homes and businesses, overturning vehicles and
So this is a thing that passed by maybe 5km from my place.
No, they’re not common at all around here. Houses aren’t built with tornadoes in mind and people don’t know how to react to them. The damage is horrifying.
