Sorry not sorry.
JFC the kids’ schools have a 2 hour delayed opening, after a PD yesterday and storm day Wednesday. I haven’t been to the office yet this week, I need to go in today. This just throws a wrench in everything.

J’s brand new sled is definitely blowing around out there 😬

Between that, the wind in general and my neighbour’s very loud heat pump, I can’t sleep.

Holy snow Batman. This is not what I would call flurries.

I did parent teacher for both kids today and they are both doing SO well.

J had a rough year socially last year so this is a huge relief.

M is in her first year of middle school and I know the expectations are high, so it’s a relief there too.

I’m still looking for my next PR role in Halifax.

Any shares of my posts and leads are appreciated!
Sadly, I found myself unemployed at the end of October and am now searching for my next PR role in Halifax.

If you have leads, introductions, or are willing to share this post, I’d be grateful!

Gracie is very pupset that we didn’t go for a walk this morning. She has been whining so much, going out, coming back in, whining more.

School is cancelled for CCRCE but I haven’t ventured out to see what the situation is outside. Sounds windy.

Took J to the pharmacy to have her ear looked at, and she does indeed have an ear infection. Except it’s not an inner ear infection, it’s in the canal. I’m so glad the pharmacy clinic does ears now!

Anyone have experience with glasses who can help me understand something?

M needs glasses for reading. Her prescription is +.5 in each eye, and then ADD +.5 for a progressive lens.

But she also has a prism prescription for one eye.

So I called my family doctor’s office 6 times today within the hours that they answer phones, and did not get through.

Where does one get a child seen for an ear infection on a weekday? Is a walk in my only option?

We had the busiest day today. 4-H, a birthday party, groceries and skating. J went to bed not feeling great and complaining her throat was sore but didn’t want Advil.

She woke at 10:30 bawling that her ear hurt. A dose of Advil and now she’s asleep in bed. Poor kid.

According to witnesses on FB, the guy with the gun made it to past Superstore in Elmsdale before he was arrested. That’s a pretty significant distance from where he was originally spotted.

Glad he was finally caught but geez.

Took the dog for a walk in Milford and there was snow! Tons of dogs there today so she was very sniffy.

M was so clingy tonight - didn’t want to be away from me at the rink, wanted to snuggle with me on the couch when we got home.

The dog was equally as clingy, and now that I’m in bed, she’s curled up behind my legs and Luna is curled up on my legs.

No one gag about personal space 😂

So the big sign that says 14 mins to downtown via MacDonald bridge… where do you think they’re counting as downtown? The other side of the MacDonald bridge? It’s minimum 20 mins to Scotia Square.

Bought some gluten free flour based on a recommendation from a friend. Got home and realized there’s no xantham gum in it and I don’t have any.

Heck of a loss.
Colleen Jones has died.
One of the greatest curlers in Canadian history, she appeared at the Scotties 21 times, winning six championships. She also won two World Championships. Jones was also a broadcaster on CBC for four decades before she retired.

Yesterday J missed the bus because a substitute bus driver missed her stop.

Today M’s morning bus is cancelled.

I hope tomorrow can be a morning where things are normal 🫠

This makes me feel so sad.

Shelter beds aren’t housing. Neither are hotels. People need actual stable and affordable homes.

And we need to prevent people from becoming homeless to make a real dent in these numbers.

Take it easy on the roads tonight. There’s a lot of black ice in East Hants, and a car off the road on highway 2 in Lantz. So slippery.

Opened the air fryer to make hashbrowns for the kids and I found 3 egg white bites in there that we made yesterday afternoon 🤦🏼‍♀️ whoops! Unsure if I forgot about them or J did (or both I guess)
