The personal musings of a Canadian therapist on mental health, faith, social justice, & avoiding the plague.
To make Facebook more fun, I joined the community group for the island where I grew up.
Not only are the posts nostalgic and beautiful, but it's funny to me to recall we swam at a place actually named "Beech Beach" 😄

Like any true Canadian, just before the sleet turned to snow I ran to the store for emergency provisions, like milk and McCain's Deep'nDelicious chocolate cake

Oh interesting! Here peewee is the age group below bantam! We also have flag, and my middle kid did extreme flag in the spring! Football seems to be becoming more popular around here these days.

Hello!! It was a li'l chilly, but my oldest won the provincial championship for bantam football this weekend! 🥇

Also, dosage instructions are *only* on the carton, so good luck keeping the flimsy cardboard box in good shape for as long as you have the bottle.

I try to look closely at medication before purchasing to ensure the kid who needs it can take it.
But today I missed some small print on the Pepto-Bismol box.
Kids can ONLY take it for diarrhea, BUT they aren't allowed to take it if they have flu symptoms, and guess what's a flu symptom...

Accidental selfie from my trip to southern Alberta yesterday (my son's football semi-final was about 49 minutes from the 49th parallel!)

As someone who drives a lot in rural Alberta, the #1 thing the government could do to slash my commute time is a PSA for slower drivers to stay to the right, unless passing.
Most stay in the middle lane while the right lane sits mostly empty, and the left is full of slow passers.

Help! It's beyond time for a haircut. What should I get?
Typically I just go for a trim with layers, because I'm all about wash & wear, and want to be able to throw it up.
Should I mix things up this time, or stick with tried & true?

One World Series game lost, and one democratic right to strike still in the process of being dismantled, with ~1,700 witnesses online at 1:30am.
I'm grateful for all who are advocating so articulately for the well-being of teachers, students, and workers across Alberta.

There are 3,000 of us watching the Legislative Assembly at midnight, as the Blue Jays enter a 16th inning.
It's a tense night.

My son will be the dance partner for a friend's quinceañera, and needs a suit similar to this one.
Any fellow fans of the Menswear Guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social have some quick pointers for finding the right fit?
This will be his first real suit-shopping experience, so I want to guide him well!

The whole licence plate fiasco is ridiculous, and I've heard 'Strong and Free' is already trademarked by someone else, but if Alberta is going ahead with designing it anyway, it may as well be pretty.
I'm #TeamMoraineLake all the way.
