Blaine didn't want me to vote, so he infected me with this. (That's how this conspiracy stuff works, right? Kicking myself for not going to advance polls like I planned.)

Mr 8, upon exiting a portapotty with no hand sanitizer within: "maybe Susan Holt can do something about portapotties now that she's elected". 🤣

My favorite Halloween tradition is telling my kids they can't have the Coffee Crisp bars because they have too much caffeine so oh well, I guess mom and dad have to have them all. 🤷‍♀️🤣

After decades in customer service (and being damn good at it, too), I give up. People are too ugly when they think they can get away with it. No wage is worth being abused like this.

For the love of all things holy, if you're going to write a western romance, google 'what's that thing a horse wears on its head?' - hint: it's not a harness.

This one hurts. 💔

There's this post going on FB about how 75% of Canadians agree with mandatory non-military service for young people (health care, senior care, etc). How's that possible when supposedly 100% of people thinking asking us to stay out of the woods during fire season is 'tyranny'.🧐

Today marks 9 years since I became a mom. I wanted to just celebrate my big kid, but then my feral 4yo made me feel like a bad mom by getting sent home from preschool (BEFORE LUNCH!) AND a meeting scheduled with the coordinators. 🫠

The point is not whether Charlie Kirk was a good person or not. The point is that you don't have to be a good person for your death to be wrong.

TFW you're working at the mall for your friend's business and see your favourite English and creative writing teacher from high school (I graduated in '03) who was SO supportive of your journey and you get to tell him that you are now a published author. <3 Felt significant.
