#JoanDidion #JoanDidionRIP

I am decompressing from Christmas with an obnoxious number of shortbreads, a Toblerone bar, liquorice spice tea, watching British crime dramas Question: do all middle aged white detectives listen to jazz music and drink brown booze straight with no ice? If so - why?

Canada needs a Chief Nursing Officer. The Ontario Science table needs a nurse. There's absolutely no way to discuss anything healthcare related without a nurse. Listen to nurses. Nurses know.

I am the only one awake in my home, I have a hot cup of coffee and a #CanadianTire flyer and I will fight anyone who says this isn’t #Selfcare

My 10yo daughter just asked “what grade do they start teaching about racial bias?” I said “I don’t know” … because that is true and felt kinder than saying “never…?” #backtoschool #Teachers #education #help

I picked up all the poop 💩 in my backyard today and made my 14YO son help his dad out together a piece of furniture … so we are ending 2021 very much #onbrand with the vibe of the year doing stuff we hate and is distasteful and necessary #HappyNewYear2021

This is helpful and thoughtful and full of facts without instruction or judgement 🤯 Thomas Piggott MD PhD this is not something I see a lot of on this platform … and I am grateful. We need more of this #parenting #Covid_19 #backtoschool Canada's CPHO Stephen Lecce

This. Birgit Umaigba-Omoruyi Angie Seth Conversation with compassion and honesty and facts - This is hard to hear. Harder to live.

This just came in: One of the ER departments is currently running with only 13 nurses. Should be a minimum of 22 nurses. Patients & ambulances are waiting tirelessly in the waiting area. In Ontario.

Today is hard. If you can - find a stuffy (the bigger the better) and a little patch of sun. #BeLikeStella

Who is going to be at this bedside? #nurses #nursingshortage #Covid_19 #ontariolockdown

Tries to help fiona today. Math. *might* have screamed “this doesn’t even make sense? Is this a riddle?!?!” Shouted “daddy!” left the room muttering swears. She’s in grade 5 I work at a bank In case you were wondering how this is going … #onlinelearning #Killingit

This is true …but eerily familiar…? Oh right!! Hitler lost an election first then spent some time rallying his supporters with propaganda and defining a common enemy and …well. I think we all remember what happened next right?

Full Brag - I had trouble waking up my 10yo this morning - as I cajoled her she said “I don’t wanna get out of bed - I’m cold 🥶!” I started to explain the furnace was on, it’s plenty warm & she said: “Don’t tell me how I feel. I know how I feel” 🎤 drop #Boundaries

Oh my God! I'm crying right now. #IENs here we go.

This.

I think this is what happened in the movie Jaws … and that didn’t turn out great. 😬😬😬😬😬

I have a team meeting tomorrow - I am supposed to bring my goals (1 personal & 1 professional) I have no goals because my goal is to be present. Here. Today. Now. It isn’t a goal either. It’s a one day at a time practice. I guess we will see how that goes over 🤷🏻‍♀️
