It's December 6. And 36 years.
I've raised my two children.
They're raising their children.
And this is still their world.
I waited with uneasy dread that night.
For a stat call to return to 🏥.
That didn't come 💔.
Today, my heart is still heavy❤️🩹.
Weary from waiting ⚖️.

Happy Canada Day!
I know I am truly blessed, having won the geography lottery at birth. I won't and don't take it for granted, ever.
Today celebrate all that we are, and aspire to be.

We've returned our riding to Liberal after 10 years of Bloc!
My 1st time voting here. 1st time becoming a party member after maintaining neutrality(as an educator).
1st time volunteering ✔️. This feels good 😊.
Congratulations to a fine candidate and his incredibly hard-working team. Well done 👏

The stunning Indigenous Canada flag created by Kwakwaka'wakw artist Curtis Wilson. His design for the flag is meant to represent First Nations in Canada to the public.
In reflection, with gratitude and humility 🙏.

My daughter made the leap and became a fur baby mommy. Needless to say the children are delighted. Merry Christmas!

This is why we left X. Apparently the 'hate' was use of the word 'feminism' 👀. Or maybe calling him out for resorting to swearing as first response. Not him at all being poster boy for sexism here. Patronizing, condescending then defensive #ItsNotAllMen trope. Sigh. Don't be this dude.

Yet another grandchild tested positive for cat allergy today 😔. This means I cannot take on another pet after losing my beloved Charleston in April (aged 18 years!).
And I was just about to let in one of my favourite strays that comes regularly to visit. My heart hurts. #catlover

Weekly hike to the mountain. Took the coffee indoors today as it felt a bit chilly for the Adirondack chairs. A nature respite from grading 😜😊.

Our 🇨🇦 Prime Minister going above and beyond for all Canadians. At least we know he's fully vaccinated and will return home to full decontamination. This man deserves a Pearson Peace Prize!

Meanwhile my sister is attempting to train her new puppy to 'heel' while on leash outdoors in Calgary 🇨🇦. He was excited by the squirrels, so she thought. Finding it hard to contain himself. Seems she didn't notice the coyote on the other side of the fence! Could explain the agitated state 🤔.

Maybe it's the mood of the week 😔. Doing my Sunday chores. Leonard Cohen playing in the background. And suddenly I'm weeping for my beloved Charleston. Crossed the rainbow bridge in April, after 18 years together. Grief hits out of the blue 😢. Or maybe it's all the cat pics here 🤷♀️. Hug your pet.

So this was Monday 😊. Student-led panel in McGill Uni 'Issues in Women's Health' course. High energy & enthusiasm for 🇨🇦 women to engage in politics, policy & leadership. Then Tuesday 🇺🇸 election showed how essential it is we prepare & mobilize. Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yf1G... #WomenLead
