Yesterday was an emotionally work day, and today the ongoing felon apocalypse is just too much.

Tapping out for a bit.

I’ve been working to train my cat to go in his carrier during fire drills in our building, so that he’s ready in the case of a real alarm.

He’s not ready.

An unscheduled false alarm was mayhem, and one wound for me.

I'm not one for making New Year's resolutions

But I believe as individuals we need to start engaging in small acts of kindness

We have too many politicians telling us not to care about each other
We should do the opposite

Buy a can of food for the food bank, hold the door for someone
Small things

Remember the 70s, 80s, 90s, and even early 2000s when the future was something to get excited about, even though you knew that some challenges lay in wait?

Now, all I ever feel is total dread.

Please love your pets!
And Adopt, always!
Never Shop!
Your beloved is very possibly waiting for you at a shelter. Your heart will be the fullest when you see how happy you can make a pet that needs a home. One that quite possibly was done wrong, also by a human.
Please be their hero!

Not just Hamilton, but across the province.

Ontario already has the second-lowest number of hospital beds per capita in Canada, and some of the lowest rates of public investment.

You don't know what day it is.
You're eating countless meals a day with lots of snacks in between.
You're napping throughout they day.
Either it's the time between Christmas and New Year or you're a cat.

Thank you to all of the amazing healthcare workers who are keeping our hospitals running during this holiday season. Not all heroes wear capes.
Starting my holiday stretch of shifts, 5 in a row, keeping the hospital running with my Jewish, Hindu, Sikh and Muslim friends. We are all happy to be of service, to all those unfortunate souls who are away from their families and need our help.
Merry Christmas!

As I sit here feeding another outdoor cat that could be a stray or someones pet....I get more pissed off.

Stop letting your cats be outdoor.
It's bad for their health.

If you can't handle entertaining your cat indoors, than dont have one.

Just ugh.Pisses me off so much.
Forever anti-outdoor cats.
