Some Recent Covid-Related Tweets

One of the hardest things about the pandemic is trying to keep up with the latest news/developments/theories (and the fact these are ever-changing gives a lot of fuel to anti-vaxxers which is a different discussion.) Even as a trained librarian who’s pretty obsessively following the latest in Covid news, I’m the first to admit I […]

Saturday Snap – Libraries Distributing Rapid Tests

Not my usual “Saturday Snap” photo today but instead, a screen shot of someone on Reddit saying they had a good experience at my branch getting their booster shot and also picking up a box of rapid tests. So strange to hear stories from Ontario of people lining up at liquor stores or other weird […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Candy Cane Cast (November 2009)

Sometimes I forget how popular the online photo sharing site, Flickr used to be in the day (it was Instgram before Instagram, kids!) But the other day, someone “Favourited” this pic on the site and getting that notification reminded me how Flickr was my “go to” for looking at/sharing online photos for many years and […]

Secular Sunday – Atheists Among The Most Likely To Be Vaccinated, Evangelicals Among The Least Likely

Hmm, could the ability to trust science and use logic vs. the ability to believe in conspiratorial fairy tales and misplaced authority be part of this?

Saturday Snap – Negative Covid Test!

I hate how it feels almost inevitable that one of these tests is going to come up positive one of these days, especially with how fast Omicron is apparently spreading. But not today, Satan! 😉

Music Monday – “They give me all these flowers and these big balloons/But I’m not gonna stay in this little room/I don’t wanna die in this hospital, I don’t wanna die”

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the saying “You know how much money you have; you never know how much time you have.” If it’s not obvious, what it means is that you (roughly) know how much money you have – what your paycheque is every two weeks, what your investments are worth, the […]

Saturday Snap – I Got Vaccinated (Under 11 Edition)

Especially with there still being so much uncertainty around Covid, it’s such a relief to finally have everyone in the family on their way to being fully vaccinated. I know kids are generally at lower risk from Covid but I also know that even though your odds of winning a lottery are one in a […]

First Children’s Vaccination Booked!

Another big milestone in the ongoing battle against Covid – getting our eight year old booked for her first vaccination! (And the email confirmation had the actual address but its definitely the most “Saskatchewan” thing ever to list the location of the vaccination clinic as a business that moved three years ago!)
