Up all night vomiting, with stomach cramps. Apparently, along with galloping consumption, someone is trying to poison me.
Or it’s flu.
But much more likely tuberculosis and a local restaurant that has decided to get me out of the way.
Either way, I feel absolutely awful.

A book, a fire, and a foot warmer in the form of an adorably scruffy sheepadoodle.

Feeling a bit spiritually dry of late. Going back to my old friend Evelyn Underhill, who in 1926 gave a retreat to clergy in the C of E (first laywoman to do so) which was then punished as “Concerning the Inner Life”. I return to it every so often and it never fails to rekindle a bit of holy fire.

I used to think the belief you’d get sick after being outside in the cold was a myth…and maybe it is…but I stood in the driving snow today leading a Remembrance Cenotaph service and now I’ve got a sore throat, throbbing head and a cough.

So Christian nationalists are trying to force the Bible into all classrooms, control women’s bodies, claw back legal equality for LGBTQ, and once stormed the U.S. capital, ignoring the constitution in trying to overthrow the elected government…but y’all are worried about Zohran and Sharia Law?

Being booed.
Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?
Federal workers aren’t furloughed.
Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.
Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.
It puts the politicians jobs on the line.
They get the budget passed.

During the “Wicked” TV Special, Marissa Bode who plays Nessa Rose, introduced the song “Defying Gravity” saying “Elphaba stands up to a power-hungry dictator” (a remark which earned thunderous applause). Though entirely true in the context of the narrative, her comment was censored and cut by NBC.

What a state of ignorance so many Americans must be in to see this as leadership.
All those who voted for Trump “because of his policies”….is this what you meant? His “concept” of a health care plan = buy your own, while never explaining who they’ll purchase it from or how they’ll get this money.

The fact the Republican Party led by Donald Trump, has fought so relentlessly to deny people food should end forever the identification of them as “the party of Christian principles”.

My curate - whose name is James - is being ordained priest at the end of November.
Over the last two days at Synod I’ve had several people congratulate me on my wonderful relationship with my curate is, saying how proud I must be.
All true. However they all think Rev. James is my husband James.

Sunday’s forecast. It never fails. Every year on Remembrance Sunday as we stand outside for the cenotaph service, we get driving winds and rain or snow or all of the above.
This is why I always plan my part with “cuts” - parts I can cut out to have pity on the cadets standing there shivering.

First ballet of the season - “Procession” a new work for the National Ballet of Canada by the incredible choreographic partners Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber. James and I alway attend the pre-ballet talks in the patrons lounge. They always deepen my appreciation of the ballet I’m about to see.

As one of those gays who “found refuge” in Will & Grace, I am so deeply disappointed in Messing.
I can somewhat understand her support of Israel. I cannot understand her crazed bigotry toward Mamdani simply because he is Muslim.
