It’s so weird that the kids who used to cheat off the smart kids to pass science classes now yell “Do your own research!” as they claim to be experts in infectious diseases based on some Facebook memes, YouTube videos and reading a bunch of unreliable web sites.
It’s never happened before but Shea and I are almost completely ready for Christmas and it’s not even December 1 yet!
We put the tree up right after Remembrance Day after making the mistake of saying/spelling “When do you want to put up the T-R-E-E?” in front of a little grade two kid who we sometimes forget is pretty good at spelling now! Once she heard what we were talking about, there was no turning back and the tree went up that same day!
We had already been doing a lot of our shopping ahead of time with uncertainty about another lockout and between Costco, Toys R Us, and a few local stores/vendors, we’ve basically ended up with all the gifts we need.
We’ve decorated our regular house, a gingerbread house and have even bought a turkey!
With all the uncertainty in the world these days, I’m sure that’s part of the reason we were looking to both have so much Christmas stuff “locked down” ahead of time but also to start trying to bring the joy of Christmas into our world a bit earlier than usual too!

Hard to believe it was a year ago on November 22 that we took possession of our new house.
It has been an eventful twelve months to say the least and though it was a big, stressful decision at the time, probably one of the best decisions of our lives!
It’s tragic that the reason she created this page was because her dad is one of many people in Indian Head affected by Covid recently. He is one of the most serious cases I know of, having ended up on a respirator.
Every single day, I get angrier and angrier at the deniers, the anti-maskers, the “no worse than the flu” people. Even worse is our government who plays footsie with them and indulges their anti-mask, anti-science views instead of showing (excuse the expression) strong leadership to keep everyone as safe as possible.
Normally I feature a single song in my Music Monday posts but a recent Twitter thread about how popular acapella was in the 1990’s reminded me of this documentary I happened to catch on PBS when it was first broadcast.
Later, I found the CD in a record store, possibly in the States, and it’s still a favourite listen to this day!
