Me: I’m finally dealing with my health!
Also me: forgetting to mention the growths/lumps because the hospital only deals with the ‘acute’ issues & the local walk-in doctor is such a condescending asshole who told me to shut up & not interrupt him (when he ignored everything I said 2 mins prior)

😭…but I don’t want 25cm of snow😭
Since I have bare farm fields on two sides I get a lot of snow drifts blowing in to sometimes double it. I have squall alerts too, so it’ll be windy
I’m soooo not done with winter prepping outside. Been busy with health stuff

I just moved my couch to the weightroom and replaced it with my recumbent exercise bike and a big blue yoga/exercise ball? (🤷♀️ whatever it’s called)
“It’ll be fiiiiine” is what I tell myself as I cycle for a few hours- while binging Greys Anatomy before Netflix boots me out (mom forgot to logout)

Try recruiting a scientist/grad student from your local university. I could have done it correctly, for a year’s salary at federal min. wage
Saving you 1.2 mil in tax $$

I have spent an avg of 4 days/month in the hospital this year. Which doesn’t sound like much, until I realized it’s only been since June so it’s closer to a week per month
After the diagnoses’, wait time is 12- 18 months for the specialists I need
FYI This isn’t a pity post, it’s to educate

The person Doug Ford has appointed to the Ontario College of Early Childhood Educators doesn’t know what ECEs do.
You’ll be surprised to learn that Julie O’Driscoll is a Conservative donor and former comms director for MPP Steve Clark, who resigned amid the Greenbelt land swap controversy.

Today was another impromptu ear surgery (removing more masses from ear)
Another hearing test. Better this time, worked my way up from profound loss to moderate impairment.
Suctioned my tubes to drain more infection from middle+inner ear. More antibiotics, more cipro drops. Back again in 10 days.

#ontpoli Ford is being typical Ford and trying to push through destroying rent control, among a dozen other heinous things about this bill, while no one is paying attention.
BREAKING: Doug Ford is rushing through his attack on renters, Bill 60.
No on can afford a place to live and the cost of rent is sky-high. Bill 60 will make it easier for corporate landlords to raise rents and evict you.
Join in me in taking a stand.

Happy Birthday Kiddo!!! Thanks for showing me what love really is! You brought more meaning into my life than any of my accomplishments or dreams could possibly achieve
I couldn’t have imagined I would ever love anything or anyone more than myself, until I had you!
Cheers to more years!
