So. Um. I may have accidentally signed up for National Novel Writing Month again. I’m pretty sure that if I manage to complete anything this month, it will be the thing I started in October, which is blatant cheatery. That … Continue readin…

I will vote for whoever is going to fix the goddamned family medical practice system in this province. Seriously. I thought there were some *rules* here. Such as: if your doctor moves his/her practice, oughtn’t they TELL THEIR PATIENTS? FFS. R…

Let me just say that I am having a *great* deal of difficulty giving a damn about the election. “What election?” You might ask. That’s about how I feel about it, to be honest. In fact, I don’t even want … Continue reading …

I saw you there, standing on the corner at rush hour. I thought you were standing with your friends from school. You were all talking, and, I thought, joking around. But then things turned. In the flash of an eye, … Continue reading →

Tonight, I was at the rink for the first time since April. It made me incredibly sad, and I don’t know why, really. Partly because while I love doing stuff with the kids, and while their interests interest me, hockey is … Continue reading …

The public health region has begun, in the recent past, to provide vaccines for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) (or would that be ‘provide vaccines against HPV’?). HPV is a communicable virus (duh, cenobyte. “Virus” is in the name.)…

The Captain phoned me at work today. I saw the number come up on my phone, and so I answered with: “WHO IS THIS?” He said, after a brief pause: “…there’s no need for names, Ma’am.” That is all.
