Today’s #patiopic. Yay!! It’s Friday!! And one day away from a major deadline. No pressure. There’s some pressure, but hey. Start the day with dumplings and a Nespresso. No worries. It will get done. 💯👍

I’m not sure how much notice this has received but the Assembly of First Nations in Canada has issued a travel advisory for the United States after reports that Indigenous people are being increasingly questioned and detained by ICE. www.instagram.com/p/DT-_SacDEH...

Today’s #patiopic. Missed yesterdays’s snow. It’s really warm today. Teaching days are super jammed pack. It’s nice to pause during the day to do what brings you a bit of joy. Have an awesome Wednesday.

Today’s #patiopoc. It’s Monday morning. I’m up early for today’s classes. It’s a flex day for us such that I’m blending the time of my two classes today. Same students but two different courses. All is good. ☺️

Today’s #patiopic. Oh… how much I love the weekend. It’s soon ending. Thank you Queer Eye (Season 10) for making my day. ❤️

Today’s #patiopic. I’m up early to catch a flight out to Vancouver to see my dad and siblings. It’s a day trip and will be making the most of it on “be a person” day. #Saturday

Today’s #patiopic. It’s a warm day today (and yesterday). 5 degrees Celsius. The snow is melting. It’s kinda icy. Made turkey congee last night. It’s awesome for Sunday morning brunch. Very comforting. ❤️💯

Today’s #patiopic. Oof. It’s been awhile since my last daily post. A good sign that school has started up again for the new year. It’s Saturday. And on “be a person” day, I’m doing my Basic First Aid training (for work). Dang. It’s been awhile. Can’t be shy in this work.

Today’s #patiopic. Working from home. ❤️

Today’s #patiopic. It’s warm and icy. Started the day with Ichiban and a con panna. Used my “new-to-me” Logostina pot (a Value Village find) to make this meal. Win-win. A great way to end 2025!! #HappyNewYear

Today’s #patiopic. Warmer weather leads to rain and possible snow melt. If anything, I was so glad that the roads and driveways were cleared at my place yesterday. Makes a huge difference, but my little Kona did exceptionally well in the snow. 💯❄️

Today’s #patiopic. It’s Monday. Trying to get back into the workflow… at home. ❤️💯

What a great day today to be with friends. Despite the snow, I met up with my friend for an early lunch out, then tonight I went to a dinner party followed by a few games. Super fun. Lots of laughs. #grateful

Today’s #patiopic. It snowed. Lol. ❄️☃️

Today’s #patiopic. A late post, but saw two moose today en route home. Freaked me out how close they were and how unpredictable they could be. Super grateful to pause and observe. I was unwilling to drive by them until I knew they were well on their way. What a way to end 2025.

Today’s #patiopic. It’s Boxing Day. It’s -15C and feels like -21C. It’s an inside day. I slept in. I put my presents away. And, I threw out my garbage at the dumpster. Invigorating. It’s cool, crisp, and beautiful. ❤️

Today’s #patiopic. Good morning and Merry Christmas!! ❤️🐈‍⬛

Today’s #patiopic. Hello winter solstice. It’s 4pm and getting dark. Wow. I really felt a shift in gears. I eventually took a nap after having turkey congee I made last night. I’m so happy that the Superstore sells deep fried bread (Chinese doughnut). This is comfort food. 💯🥰
