Saturday Snap – Tough Day at the Office!

Been sick the past couple days but dragged my ass into work as I had a big event on.  I texted Shea to ask if she was going to bring the kids and she replied “I feel like absolute crap. I did a Covid test and it negative but I feel like I was hit […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – First Rapid Tests (March 2021)

We were lucky that Shea is a nurse as we got early access to rapid tests before they were widely distributed to the general public. No way to know for sure but I feel like that was part of why we may have been able to avoid Covid as long as we did – anytime […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Mom’s Lifetime SUN Membership Acceptance Speech (sometime in 2013)

I was so proud of my mom getting her lifetime membership in the Sask Union of Nurses ten years ago.  Great speech and you can see where I got a lot of my personal values about supporting workers and treating others with empathy and respect.
