Kudos to Nova Scotia for coming up with the idea, Ace Burpee and co for talking about the potential in Manitoba, and the MB NDP for jumping at it.

I just heard that Manitoba is going to be selling off the back stock of US liquor until Christmas, giving proceeds to the Cheer Boards in Winnipeg, Brandon, and Thompson - essentially dealing with the dormant product we’d already paid for in a way that benefits us locally. Genius idea.

Watching my kiddo’s little hand reaching out of the car window trying to catch the first snowflakes is just pure magic. ❄️

The latest in 3 year old comedy:
Knock knock!
Who’s there?
Poop!
Poop who?
Poop we flushed him down the toilet and made him from one into two and it mixed him up and then they turn into a superhero!

Small son (3.5) changed daycares in October and it’s been really rough dropping him off. Well, after a lot of work and incentives he has had for amazing drop off days and today he even turned around and wished me a good day with a big smile. πŸ₯Ή

That’s so upsetting. I’m really sorry. Come visit Manitoba, hang with us and get free vaccines?

What I’ll say at the end of this day though: the gift my boys gave me today was knowing deeply how much they love me and find me comforting. 🧑

Before kids, my November birthday was pretty chill. After kids it is walk in clinics and fevers to manage. Love them forever and happily do it, but oof.

Oh and by the way I’m 39 today.

I’m sorry, but the walk in clinic is playing NSYNC’s bye bye bye and Toto’s Africa back to back and I’m not sure how they expect us all to not sing and therefore share all the viruses in this room. Irresponsible tbh.

Phew that’s a good question. It’ll start feeling better the more you see player and staff clips talking how proud they are of the team - because they should be! And I anticipate it will finally feel not sad when they win the World Series. I’ve been waiting on that one most of my life. 😬

Can Ms. Rachel be president over there? I think that would be for the best.

10 minutes after I woke up I remembered the Blue Jays lost. It was a nice 10 minutes.

(My adhd meds make it impossible for me to drink caffeine without massive anxiety so I’m hoping those meds will carry me through 🫠)

No regrets about baseball but OOF. It’s rough over here.

I’m like, really sad for me but honestly maybe even more sad for Eugene Levy. I don’t want him to be sad ever.
