The Soft-Hearted Curmudgeon

I hate using can openers, they're hard haha

This is it. I am just a robot with anxiety and too many tabs open

Thank goodness summer is my employer's slow period

My daughter has asked to play softball this summer (we've been asking her if she wants to play ball for years now). More than happy to oblige, but silently freaking out at solo parenting 2 ball players while no longer having WFH available. How will we eat! How will laundry get done!

Yes absolutely! My friend now works in a hospital setting as well.

Physicians have to run family practices as a business without much support from the health care system. So basically, they have to manage both facets. Being in a hospital setting, you at least have support from hospital staff

A friend of mine is a family physician but has left the NS healthcare system in favour of a different health care stream due to the administrative burden of being a general practitioner here in NS. She would spend hours a day on administration after her regular office hours.

My view is obstructed at my home 😭 I live in a little valley so my sky view misses a lot. I'm going to miss ot

Another little bout of vertigo when I woke up. It seems to be fine once I'm actually out of bed

The varnish on the pews, maybe?

Hey mother nature! Bet you can't go a whole WEEK without new white stuff. I double dog dare ya to try!

While I'd prefer not to wake up before my alarm, I did just have the most cozy 30 minutes of lying in various states of waking and drowsy in the very middle of my bed.

Had exactly the kind of day I needed. Whole family's ready for the week (I think!), the coffee maker timer is set for the morning, and all I can do is hope to keep my head above water once more.

Was so close to getting myself a porch goose last week - glad to see you got one and now I hope to live vicariously through you

Freshly 40 haha

It was $70 or $80 for two tickets when I graduated in 2004

Tomorrow is randomly supposed to be cold AF, high of -7? No thank you.

Good riddance, Feb!

Baseball registration for our home association started today, so naturally I was up at 7am to ensure I didn't eff it up for the kid. It's done!

It's not February any more, and while it changes nothing, it's a big mental weight lifted. 🖕 February 2026

Houston being booed at the ANS gala in Halifax just made my night. #nspoli

I have an afternoon without my kids home and I'm so excited by this. First up: pharmacy clinic appointment for my ear infection 🙃 haha

So glad the joy is back ❤️ I'm glad you shared. It gives so many of us hope when we hear of folks who are feeling the joy.

A black and white cat snoozes contentedly on a blanket on the floor.

It's a day before Caturday, but I feel all can benefit from a sleeping elderly cat in the newsfeed

There is justice sorely lacking for this woman, whether it was a workplace accident with no accountability, or it was murder.

Almost always cat puke but also sometime a piece of debris from bringing in firewood lol

Fuck. I am so sorry, that's so awful.

Woke up with vertigo thanks to a simmering ear infection I haven't addressed yet. Guess I have to address it now.

Mandated back to office 5 days a week in April.

Because of course that would happen while we're experiencing deployment
