Today's small #joy: too much coffee, CBC Radio 2, and some TA prep work for next semester. Enjoying my JustUS coffee in a Beaverbrook Art Gallery mug crafted by Christopher Doiron. I realized this week, finding an old photo from my undergrad days, that I have been drinking JustUs for over 20 years!
