M shared that her class watched an episode of Degrassi in health class, and then had a conversation about the character who changed her looks to get the attention of a boy. I was like “I love Degrassi! Did you love it?” Her: no. We did have a conversation about it though, so it still works!

I’m in Moncton/Dieppe for a conference. I went for a walk on the riverfront trail this morning - it is beautiful. Well used by cyclists and I saw a few other walkers. The wind was cold today though.

I have a migraine and am heading to Moncton later this afternoon to go to a conference the next couple days. I do not recommend it.

I woke up at 2 am absolutely freezing. Went to bed in a tank top and shorts. So I closed the window, turned on my heating pad and went back to sleep. Woke up a little while later and kicked off some blankets. Woke up again a few minutes ago and I’m dripping with sweat. 🫠

Oh, and I had a lovely walk at Loch 6 today until Gracie decided to ROLL IN DEAD FISH which required a trip to pet valu for the dog wash. Which made us very late to get home before going to the rink.

I misjudged how much crying time should have been allotted for my evening schedule. Not my crying, at least yet. One kid is a mess because I’m going to a conference in Moncton for 2 days, the other is a mess because she hurts, she has a math test, she’s probably about to start her period & more

Guess who did her first adult figure skating lesson tonight! I did fall once doing backwards outside edges. They are HARD. Although the kids think backwards inside edges are harder apparently 😂

So far today the rabbit has chewed the plug off the vacuum cleaner cord and the dog has broken her tie out leash. wtf guys.

I woke up from a vivid dream and now can’t get back to sleep because I can’t get comfortable. My hip hurts but only when lying in bed. Ugh.

Yesterday this stupid piece of plastic that holds the flap open on the mower broke and kept falling off. I went to Canadian tire and got some epoxy and let it cure overnight. Worked perfectly. Lawn mowed before it rains.

I was asleep before 10 pm last night. And I’d still be asleep if not for Luna deciding I need to be told it’s breakfast time.

One of the reasons I’m kind of glad I didn’t get the full biopsy is because I’m walking with East Coast Credit Union in the Autism Nova Scotia walk today. It’s happening at the big Dartmouth mall this morning if you’re thinking of heading out that way!

I had kind of a rough day today. I don’t really want to get into too many details because it’s the internet, however it’s women’s health related and this stuff needs to be talked about more. I had an appointment at the Truro Women’s Health clinic. The staff were nice, and the dr was nice too.

The spiderwebs looked so cool this morning. There were even webs between power lines shining in the dew.

Haven’t stopped thinking about Rose Cousin’s version of Chappell Roan’s Good Luck Babe since I heard it on CBC the other week. Gave it a listen so I could figure out the piano chords and then listened a few more times. So good. open.spotify.com/track/79t143...

Listen, I know today is already a lost cause traffic-wise but tomorrow morning I have to get to downtown Dartmouth and get back out again to drive to Bridgewater, so could we maybe ease up on the collisions? As a treat?

Today’s wtf 5 am moment. I wake up smelling something burning. Smells kind of like when hair burns in a hair dryer. I got up to investigate. Thought I was going crazy. Got to the living room and someone had cranked the thermostat for the baseboard heater, so the dust and dog hair is burning off

Today’s online work included making a poster in Canva about their birthstone (science) and making a slide deck about a dress code for family studies (which is really home ec? Why the name change?) She had double math today and a sub for ELA so those were mostly offline. Fascinating.

Okay so we’re going into the 3rd full week of school. This is what my grade 7 kiddo’s day looked like today. Math - doing integer stuff on computers French - using Google Translate to complete a work sheet and watching a video and how to talk about the weather in French.

Can someone help me understand why my pharmacy would do this. I had a doctor’s appointment yesterday. He renewed a prescription for me. I went to the pharmacy for something else and wanted to pick it up. They were like “but it’s too early.” It’s not a controlled substance or anything like that.

She’d probably be impressed with career and family, and especially impressed with the pets. A dog, a cat AND a rabbit? 20 yo me dreamed of having all the animals. She might be disappointed in the lack of music career 😂 but she’d love that we made a career out of loving community.

I seem to have reached the stage of the season where my entire body is itchy all the time, much earlier than usual. Is the air dryer? Is it stress? Is it allergies? Perimenopause? I don’t know but I’m going mad.

I know we hate AI. But my god, having facilitator for a teams meeting is a game changer. Why can’t we focus on tools that help people struggling with focus or disabilities instead of shitty posters or photos that have extra limbs.

Did the ultimate gluten free breakfast hack on the way home - 2 McDonald’s hashbrowns, round egg with cheese. Put them together to make a sandwich. It was so good.

Home just in time to Joni ready for school. I am so tired. M’s arm is in a sling for at least today. There is a slight dent on her humerus, which indicates a dislocation of her shoulder that then popped back in and caused a small injury. weird symptoms because it wasn’t treated like a dislocation

When they changed shifts we got a different doctor - he’s very good and is definitely interested in getting to the bottom of this.

After being here 9 hours we saw a doctor. She’s getting repeat x-rays. Everyone is still perplexed but we may have ruled out a couple things?

I am at the IWK with M. I have have been here for 3+ hours. She has had zero improvement since we were here last week. It is significantly busier than when we were here last week. Lots of kids with injuries and sicknesses.

J has come down with a cold and was pretty snotty and tired this evening. She asked if she could stay home tomorrow if she was sick. I said of course. She NEVER stays home unless it’s really bad. She put herself to bed at like 8:20 when I was still elbows deep in dishes 😬

I have a load of laundry in the washer that needs to be moved over and at least 2 loads between the kids need to be washed. But all three clothes baskets are full of laundry I need to put away from earlier. And neither my brain nor my body wants to do it.

I dropped J off at a friend’s birthday party and took M and her friend to Laurie Park while I walked Gracie. It was warm but beautiful.

J visited a farm today. She loves cows. But after seeing a cow give birth (I saw the umbilical cord!) and touching a 1 hour old calf (eww it’s still wet) she decided she doesn’t want to be a farmer anymore 😂

The I popped into Withrow’s for honeycrisp - they have the best prices on local apples and pears. Finally Gracie and I stopped in Pet Valu for bunny food, and she got some pets and treats.

This morning the kids and I did a bottle drive with the skate club. Then this afternoon I decided I hadn’t spent enough time outside yet, and it was so beautiful, so I took Gracie to Nine Mile River.

Dog insisted on a longer walk to make up for yesterday’s rainy day. I am tired but went along with it anyway. It’s very nice out.
