November is a busy and stressful time for educators. I lost 12 pounds due to illness last month. Catching up with work and trying to gain strength to get back into better shape. #fitness

Went to The Bay today to use my remaining gift card amounts. As a Canadian history teacher especially, it is sad that the days of this historic Canadian company might be nearing its end. Department stores were such a staple of Canadian culture through the years but times indeed have changed.

Wearing pink today to support anti-bullying. Pink Shirt Day was started in Canada 18 years ago as a campaign against homophobic bullying? Part of me thinks this is still too performative. How can we all do better to support anti-bullying in the school community?

That feeling you get when your current school faces off against your former school of 19 years, with past and present students on both sides. I will be an emotional mess when badminton season comes along. For now, just enjoy the game and be proud of the kids! #EduSky

There are many different paths to a Ph.D. and professorship, and this is definitely not a common one for sure. Good for Dr. John Urschel. And he is Canadian too! His book is definitely on my reading list for this year.

Frustrating loss in basketball intramurals as staff team blew 5 point lead with 15 seconds left. At the same time, it's so awesome to see the thrill in the kids as they made 2 miracle three pointers at the end. If this brought joy to their day, then it's a win for me too.
