Today’s #patiopic. Yay. It’s Friday. I’m just catching up on all that needs to be done. ✅

Today’s #patiopic from my side window. The sunrise and sunset… aka., the start and end of my work day. Super gorgeous.

Today’s #patiopic. Tired. Enough said. 😴

Today’s #patiopic. A few decorations are put up (that resemble Simon the cat 🐈‍⬛). ❤️

Today’s #patiopic. Thanksgiving Day. Not cooking today. Yay. Focused on leftovers.

Today’s #patiopic. The patio has been put away for the winter season. It’s a sunny day. Eating leftovers for breakfast. Feeling rested… with a tonne of things to do. Making turkey tonight. Life is good. #Thanksgiving

Today’s #patiopic. Hello long weekend. Hello Saturday. Happy Thanksgiving. 🍁

Today’s #patiopic. I might have to put the patio furniture and BBQ away this weekend. It’s getting super chilly. 🥶 Have an awesome long seeking and Happy Thanksgiving.🍁

Today’s #patiopic. Taken this morning. 🥶

Today’s #patiopic. A very late post, but now the heat pad is on after a rainy day.

Today’s #patiopic. Ahh… the morning sunrise after an evening of rain. What a way to start the work week. I just love it!! ❤️💯 #beautiful

Today’s #patiopic. When your cat has been up for a few hours and you’re just rolling over. ❤️🐈‍⬛

Today’s #patiopic. You’ve got to love fall. 🍁And, it’s my favourite day of the week. HELLO SATURDAY!! ❤️💯 And, birthday month. 🥰

Today’s #patiopic. It had to be done. It’s my birthday 🎉 And, I tried something new. The drink was DELICIOUS. Tastes like ice cream. Highly recommend. I’m having a great day so far… and it’s only half done. Thank you to my class and colleagues for this morning. Part 2 begins.

Orange Shirt Day. EVERY CHILD MATTERS. 🧡

Today’s #patiopic. On this rainy Monday, I’m finding the courage to JUMP IN and going for it. Mondays are research days for me this term. I’m appreciating the quietness and intention that fills these days. I’m returning to a manuscript that reflects the work of my dissertation.❤️

Today’s #patiopic. It’s this kinda day. 🥰

Today’s #patiopic. Ahhh. It’s Saturday. ❤️ I love it when she does this. 🐈‍⬛ #happy

Today’s #patiopic. Yup. Engaged in extreme rest. After my teaching week this term, I always need to take a moment to rest before transitioning to the next “thing to do.” In the meantime, I’m making chicken congee in the slow cooker. It’s cold out there!! 🥶🌧️🍁

Today’s #patiopic. It’s Wednesday. Jump day / my biggie workday. Here, I’m at the university, transitioning from Senate to my night class. A gorgeous day!!! I made it with a few minutes to spare (and bumped into a couple of friends along the way). Now, it’s dinner (at 9;30pm).

Today’s #patiopic. Yes. It’s the first day of Fall and… it’s raining. #HelloMonday 🍁

Today’s #patiopic. It’s clearing up. Yay. It’s the last day of summer. Enjoy it!! 😎

Today’s #patiopic. It’s a rainy day. An inside day. And chicken pot pie. Yummy.

Today’s #patiopic. First… I cannot believe it’s Friday (again). Time is flying by. Second… I’m consumed by pre-birthday thoughts. What do I want for me (for the next 20 years)? No pressure, right? #DoingLife ❤️

Today’s #patiopic. Gotta love it!! ❤️💯

Today’s #patiopic. Headed to the university this afternoon to take a meeting and teach #EDUC606 night class. A full day today… had a late night pho for dinner… now prepping for #EDUC394 morning’s class tomorrow. We are going to West Lake. #LandBasedLearning

Today’s #patiopic. Back into the swing of things with the work week rhythm. 💯👍

Today’s #patiopic is a SELFIE of me at the university. I had the opportunity to visit & participate in a couple of classes this morning in the Prince George Teacher Education Program. Thank you #EDUC346 from Block 1 & #EDUC403 from Block 5 for the invitations. #grateful #UNBCED

Today’s #patiopic. Organizing my office at home and enjoying the last bits of the weekend. And I loved that it rained today.

Today’s #patiopic. It’s Saturday. It’s “be a person day.” It’s my favourite day of the week.

Today’s #patiopic. Wow. Another full week at work. Week 2. Taking it a bit slow today but heading up after lunch. #HappyFriday

Today’s #patiopic replaced by a #foodpic. A full day today with an early morning class followed by a few meetings. It’s ok to take a break. I went out to dinner with the kid followed by ice cream. A great way to end the day. ❤️

Today’s #patiopic. A gorgeous day… to stay inside. Oof. The fall term is in full swing. I was in front of the screen from 9am to 4pm. Night class from 530pm to 8:20pm. Then prep for tomorrow morning’s 8:30-11:20am class. Meetings in the afternoon. Whew. It’s a compact schedule.

Today’s #patiopic. Holy… we are well into the fall term. No complaints, but gratitude. I love doing the work that I get to do as well as be where I am. I am happy. I mean, look at my breakfast. Chicken congee, again. Of course!! It’s homemade & reminds me of home. I am home. ❤️

Today’s #patiopic. Hello Monday. What a day it was… super grateful today. Lots accomplished. More tomorrow. Yay me.

Today’s #patiopic. A smoky day. A Sunday. A balance between rest and work. Going food shopping now to get ready for the week. Feeling very lucky today. Happy days!!

Today’s #patiopic. Whew. I’m so happy it’s “be a person day.” I need to rest and go at my own pace today. Did some “spring cleaning” of my kitchen area. Ahh… I feel a 1000 times better. Now, I relax with my homemade brown sugar shaken oat espresso (in a butter chicken jar). 😍

Today’s #patiopic. Happy Friday. I hope you had an awesome first week back to school. Hello weekend. Enjoy these moments.

Today’s #patiopic. Yup. Arm wrestling with a student (who competes). Why not? 😂

Today’s #patiopic. Admittedly, a long day. From a foggy morning start w/ going to work at 8am to returning home after orientation, meetings & night class at 1030pm. A strong first day back to school… but I have an early morning class tomorrow. Time to shower, prep, then sleep. 😴

Today’s #patiopic. Well… it’s more like a Christine selfie. Close enough. Yup. Another school year begins. I cannot believe I’ve been “teaching” for 31 years!! I’m shocked, actually. I’ve done different things in teaching and BC Education. I’m super grateful to do this work. ❤️

Agreed @craigmah.bsky.social

Today’s #patiopic. Happy Labour Day!! 😎

Today’s #patiopic. Still lots of things to do but… it’s the long weekend before school. You’ve got to start the weekend with chicken congee. A must. #StillDoing ❤️💯

Today’s #patiopic. Getting back into the swing of things… starting with email. lol. 😂 Happy Friday and enjoy the long weekend. ❤️💯
