Natalie Spooner is from Scarborough?! And she went to Cedarbrae?!

I have shoveled twice today. I am exhausted.

A truck spun out in front of me on the way home to work from home for the rest of the day so there's that

Can't wait for the impending Doug Ford and Circular Materials scandal.

I love that in this racist former sundown town I live in, the Muslim barber in my neighbourhood that works out of his home is fully booked for the rest of the week.

This season of house league hockey has come with the best group of hockey parents. And what's funny about it is that the most social of us (me included) aren't from Peterborough.

My child's teacher will come to his hockey game tonight, but his own father will not. He was provided the schedule.

My kiddo score another goal this morning, this time on the Memorial Centre ice. This is a huge deal for a 10yr old Peterborough Pete's fan.

Imagine prioritizing sleeping in over your son's hockey tournament.

I’m old enough to remember when all those Canadian Conservatives now cheering on Trump were adamant Trudeau was a tyrant because he shut down a month-long tailgate party in downtown Ottawa.

Hi, citizens of the USA. Please stop asking Canadians on social media to come rescue you like it's cute and funny. It is not. Nothing is cute and funny about the USA right now. I say this with care and respect: No one is coming to save you. You need to save yourselves.

I am finally back at work. I am wearing hard pants again after 18 days in soft pants. I miss my puppy.

you can't keep kids safe if you don't listen to them. i am so sick of "kids safety" crusaders who refuse to listen to kids and teens about their actual lived experiences if you're not listening to kids, what you really want is control, not safety.

Can we just get the word on whether or not we're going to be invaded? I have had crushing anxiety since we got home from Montréal.

I let my kid stay home and I'm working from home today due to freezing rain. Meanwhile, the freezing rain has yet to appear. I hate working from home.

My profession qualifies for the Canadian student loan forgiveness program, but I need Peterborough to be a qualifying region.

I am glad we skipped the afternoon judo session and came home yesterday afternoon. I would've lost my mind driving home in today's weather.

Someone missed us.

My child, who does not like bagels, had been converted to Montreal bagels with Nutella.

Today my child has done 4hrs of judo, walked for at least an hour, and swam for another hour, but insists he's not tired.

Gonna try to convince my child to go get burgers and try a real poutine for dinner tonight. We again ate our dinner food for lunch because he's so hungry from training.

Yesterday I ordered a coffee in frenglish, today en français!

Montreal is entirely uphill both ways on slush covered ice.

This is where we are spending the next 3 days. Where do we eat dinner? We already had to eat one of the dinners I packed for lunch because my child was so hungry from the morning session.

Lol I don't understand a lick of Quebecois French.

We made it to Montreal but I want to go home so bad

Why can't I find gloves that keep my hands warm?

I haven't worn hard pants in 9 days.

this is literally one of the best jokes to ever exist on that other platform.

Making chana masala to freeze and then reheat in the hotel room lol. Also going to take frozen turkey soup. We will go out for dinner two nights.

It took 20mins to de-ice my car this morning. Then we finally took the dog for a walk. Poor thing.

The dog has had zero walks today because of the weather and it shows.

We took the Christmas tree down. I usually wait until new year's day to do so, but hopefully we'll still be going to Montreal this week.

Ate too much Christmas chocolate and woke up with heart burn at 3am.

I shoveled out a spot by the front door for the puppy earlier today and that was an excellent choice as the back deck is treacherous at the moment.

Ice Storm 2: Waiting For No Electricity Boogaloo

Got a walk in before then freezing rain started. It started just as we were coming around the corner to get home.

This is the second ice storm this year and it's straight bullshit.

The child has finally arrived home and never wants to drive in a car with his dad again.

I have prepared turkey soup and turkey salad. My child is supposed to be going to Toronto with his dad, so naturally I will purchase pho for dinner.

Puppy sandwich.

I went to bed last night thinking there was no way the plow would go by overnight. WRONG. Woke up to my trash and recycling buried under a 3ft wide and 1ft tall wave of hard snow.

Today i began clearing out all the expired condiments from my fridge.

At what point do I cut my child's visit with his dad short due to road conditions?

Life's too short to second guess the AT-ST Lego set at Costco. I went back to get it today.

It's that time on Christmas Day where I start to feel bad because I didn't get my kid as much or as nice as his friends and cousins got.

As the previous owner of a reactive dog, I would've never been irritated at the owner of a puppy taking their time and accidentally crossing my path twice while walking my dog. Jeez.

I miss my drip coffee machine.

How am I going to stay awake long enough to do the Christmas magic.

It is Christmas Eve so naturally we are watching Die Hard.
