After much of the day in the ER will be using a gift card from my CBC colleagues to Big Wheel Burger to feed the family. Food = love. Thank you. #fuckcancer

What I wore to the #MetGala (let’s see yours!)

Thank you to every single reader!

#fuckcancer haiku

Who could be lonely?
With a steadfast companion,
Whose namesake is pain.

I feel like this is my reward for getting out of bed & washing my hair today. Thank you. #fuckcancer

Coffee Crisp is a Toronto candy bar. A coffee-flavoured variant of a British wafer bar, Coffee Crisp was first produced in 1939 at the Rowntree Co. Ltd. factory on Sterling Rd. near Dundas W. and has never been made anywhere else in the world.

VAMPIRE VACATION, written by me and illustrated by Micah Player, turns 2 this week! Just so you know, I recently received an email from C, age 5, stating, 'This is the best vampire book of my life.' 😎

I experienced such suffocating sorrow as everyone left the house for work and school this morning. My days are now shapeless as mud. I must try to write the picture book I have been thinking about for years. To give my mind some meaningful occupation. #fuckcancer

All the food my family dropped off this weekend came in original 1970s Corning Ware, because we don’t throw out.

Oh this sweet struggle🥲

In my murder mystery, Blood on the Breakwater, the journalist (who is single) always takes the aisle seat. Based on real life.

An update for the week: talking to oncologist Wednesday. My hope is chemo starts the week after. Also plans for ultrasound biopsy (to determine badness of cancer). Gratitude to you all. #fuckcancer Photo from before times.

My family has dropped off:
- lamb
- scalloped potatoes
- homemade bread
- lasagna
- platz (Mennonite dessert)
I am loved & doing my best to gain weight before chemo. #fuckcancer

I had no idea the kind of photography I was doing is called bokeh. I actually use a telephoto lens and step back 2 meters and then zoom in to blur everything but the subject. Guess I reinvented the wheel.

Just got the absolute sweetest review 🥰🫶

Misogynists crying over the 'man vs bear' discussion are trying to dismiss, belittle, & demean women who are sharing WHY they choose the bear.

To the men & women who are standing up to make videos & posts to amplify what women have been saying & bring attention to violence…

If you ever doubt the power of stories, for someone in a situation like mine, books and shows are a merciful respite from pain and waiting. #fuckcancer
