Of course there’s a big snowstorm coming when I had planned to take the dog to work with me so she could go to the groomer.

Eldest child took the dog to his bed. She just jumped down &’trotted back in. She grumped as I picked her up, like she was mad at his audacity, & hates being picked up so be quick about it bc she’s tired and cold. Then she jumped over me and snuffled under the sheets. Now she’s sharing my pillow.

In other news, I misplaced a dish of the dog’s food this morning. I’ve no idea where I put it down. She’s not the type to eat two meals so I set out another dish for her. I’m less worried about her and more worried someone will find it when they accidentally sit on it or knock it over.

First day in the office in ages due to sick kid and then sick me. My pothos plant continues to slay despite the neglect, further proving some of us just like being left alone.

Youngest child got sick on October 24. Went back to school for a few days then came down with an ear infection. He’s on the mend now, & I have his wretched virus: the sneezles and a fever. I just wanted all of us to have one stress free week/weekend before I booked fall vaccinations. Dammit.

Discovered a neighbour put out an anti-barking device not 20’ from & aimed at my house. I am up to my eyeballs in grief right now, so I am dealing with it super well; I am considering bagpipes. At least now I know why my tiny dog sits and shakes sometimes. What would you do, Halisky?

I caved. I turned on the heat.

I’ve not been sleeping well since my dad died/sm decided to sell their house. Last night I took melatonin instead of an Rx I was prescribed. I then had a nightmare so ridiculous yet frightening, I immediately recalled the old hag/sleep paralysis when my eyes finally flew open.

A better alternative to being in the office today.

Today, HaliSky, a dear friend’s husband is having cranioplasty after contracting life-altering meningitis this past year. If you have a moment to wish for a successful surgery and recovery for a father of two sweet kids, please do. If you are a praying person, those are welcome too.

I drove to NB with a large trailer on the weekend to pick up the last of the stuff my SM hasn’t given away in her haste to move after my father’s death. I am physically exhausted by it all. Someday, I’ll take the time to be really pissed at how this was handled but for now, I am just tired.

Don’t mind me, just googling “how to clean an alligator/caiman” after last night’s failed vacuuming attempt.

I leave one nice comment on shifferdiane’s insta and every old white haired dude with a spam account on the internet wants to follow me. Aren’t I lucky? (If you haven’t discovered the gem of a human that is Diane, the grandma we all needed, please go see.)

My coworker: It’s funny your son wanted the alligator.
Me: um, about that. It was really me who wanted the alligator. And the turtle. Since I was a kid.
Coworker: *Laughs nervously*
(They were brought home in the early 1900s by my great grandfather who was a sailor.)

Tell me your family is full of eccentrics without telling me. I’ll go first.

Forget the broken man on a Halifax pier, what about a broken woman in a Dartmouth house who went to NB to sort out her dad’s stuff barely a month after he died, bc her SM is moving & downsizing? I want a fucking singable tune about that. Write me something about family heirlooms and car polish.

I broke our clothesline yesterday. It was due to be replaced, but it would have been nice if it hadn’t happened while I was going for broke and hanging out two loads of laundry.

Trying to be the supportive Hockey Mom, but I stupidly wore sandals to tryouts. I stood inside for the first 30 minutes but I’m done now.

Older kid (14) is off to u15 Major tryouts because hockey must go on. Younger (10) and I will walk the dog and check out storm damage. I hope all of you without power get it back soon. If you need ice, let me know!

This is the first time since Juan that I have done my fridge/freezer preparation routine and we have not needed it. Our power was off for about 40 minutes total. Unprecedented. I feel… I feel… what is the opposite of vindication?

Whelp, HaliSky, I made a nice breakfast for my family and just as my husband and I were sitting here, chatting over our coffee, the power went out.

Filling my stash of 500ml yogurt containers with water and stowing them in all available freezer space so I can hopefully save our fridge and freezer contents when the power inevitably goes out. Who’s laughing at my hoarding habits now? #NSStorm

Hey HaliSky, just a reminder that your refrigerator is essentially a giant cooler so if you save some plastic bottles and freeze them, they can help keep your fridge cold. Also, the more full your refrigerator, the colder is stays, so you can add water jugs to it to maintain the cold.

This is my first day back in the office since my dad died. I haven’t seen my coworkers since August 16, my face is a mess (breakout) AND we have a videographer in as my manager is getting an award from the pharmacy association. I can manage the video, but it would be nice if I didn’t cry.
