Saturday Snap – Stay Hydrated! (and a List of My Least Favourite Covid Symptoms)

Tea, pop (didn’t have ginger ale so using closest thing I had) and iced coffee. (Not pictured, a giant bottle full of ice water which has been my best friend the past few days!) My Top Five Least Favourite Covid Symptoms (these change from day to day) 1. My ears constantly feel plugged like I’m […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – No Covid, No Covid! (January 2022, March 2021)

The good old days when I could mock Covid by making a giant “C” out of our family’s negative tests back in January of this year… …and even earlier in March 2021 which is when Shea was first able to get Covid rapid tests through her work to be used for herself and her family […]

After Two and a Half Years, The Big “C” Got Me! :-(

Shea was deadly ill (said it was sickest she ever felt) a couple weeks ago but never tested positive for Covid. So, when I got sick, I thought I had this… But tested today and it turns out that both Shea and I have this…   Fuuuuuuuuuck! Such a weird mix of emotions to finally […]

Covid Tweets Roundup

[Caveat: I post tweets that catch my eye but am not asserting that the claims they make are factual or not.  You should probably be skeptical of everything you read on the Internet, check who it is posting (a named doctor or an anonymous account), etc.] Pointing out a contraction of anti-mask “logic”… This year […]

Music Monday – “Everybody’s got the fever/That is something you all know/Fever isn’t such a new thing/Fever started long ago”

I’m home with a sick kid today (plus had ice cream for breakfast as I have a sore throat myself!) so a rough couple of months in terms of family health continues… Ironically, we only dealt with Covid once (Pace for a week in early October) and, knock on wood, no one else in the […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Camp Hope (October 2021)

Just over a year ago in mid-October, I saw a friend post on social media that a tent city was being set up in Pepsi Park in Regina and looking for donations. We had an extra tent so I took it down and briefly spoke to some of the organizers (including my friend by phone […]

Secular Sunday – Some Funny Examples of Purity Culture

What’s your funniest purity culture story? Mine’s when my parents secretly installed Covenant Eyes on our computer. A week later, they confronted me about my “p*rn addiction.” I swore I wasn’t, so they showed me my “explicit searches.” It had one entry: “the barenaked ladies” — Zach W.

Happy Third Covidversary!

Three years ago today, a man in Wuhan China started feeling ill and changed the world completely… 3 years ago today: A man in Wuhan, China starts feeling ill and later becomes the first confirmed case of COVID-19. More than 6.6 million people have since died. — BNO News (@BNOFeed) November 30, 2022 Here are […]

Saturday Snap – A Day in the Life

I was off on Friday and had a busy day… 5am  – Charlie wakes us up.  Years ago, 5am used to be the time I went to bed but not anymore! 6am  – watch “Stutz” on Netflix with Shea.  Wonder if therapy is easier or harder if you’re rich and famous. 8am – drive Pace […]

Saturday Snap – Tumbleweeds in the Tylenol Aisle

Good thing the pandemic’s over or else I’d worry about this shortage of children’s medicine! (Funny story – we’re out of kids’ meds at home too and Sasha’s been sick a lot lately so Shea asked the pharmacist and managed to snag a mini-bottle of kids’ Tylenol.  Then we got home and didn’t see it […]
