Going Back to the Office
We were supposed to back into the office last Monday, it got cancelled the Friday before at the last minute because there was another change and now we aren’t going back until September 7th. However, I got all prepped to go back in (“back” as if I have ever been there before); so I thought…

Obsessions: July 10
I have been so tired this week. Every day was a struggle to get up on time, so I slept in til 11 today! I never do that, especially not up here where the sun is up at 4:30. But I clearly needed it. I hope you have a fantastic weekend planned! I was going…

Northern Diaries: Vaccine Clinics and Operation Remote Immunity!
COVID-19 vaccine clinics have been one of my favourite parts of my job so far. I’ve heard that down south they’ve gotten a little angry a few times, but everyone who has come through here in town and in community has been happy and excited to get vaccinated. Even if they are scared, they are…

Mid-Week Procrastination
Should I start numbering these? Organizing them somehow? Putting some kind of additional descriptor after a, I don’t know, colon? I feel like after what’s got to be getting to close to 20 of these Mid-Week Procrastination posts I should have them down, but hey the imposter syndrome and professional doubt have been real so…

What I Read in June
I finally got an infusion of new books on my weekend in Kenora in June and I have been feeling refreshed and ready to read again. I’m also in a big TV rut and want to watch none of the things that I have access to through all of my various subscriptions. And I have…

Obsessions: July 3rd
Instagram obsession: @meghandono Meghan has become one of my favourite bloggers/influencers. I started following her for her sunscreen recs and her Francophile style. She had skin cancer a couple years ago (so I believe that would have put her in her early 30s, and I am rapidly approaching my late 20s) and has become super…

Continue Your Activism Beyond the Awareness Month
June is a big awareness month, with both Pride Month and Indigenous History Month occurring. Now that June has come to an end and the rainbow logos are disappearing (hey wordpress… my app literally changed back from rainbow to blue on the 30th, it wasn’t even July yet) and the spots on TV about Indigenous…

Mid-Week Procrastination
It’s another week, another round of vaccine clinics. Then I think I have a couple week of normal work schedules, although we are moving back into the office on Monday, which I am more than slightly bummed about. I’m really going to miss using my lunch hour to do chores so that I don’t have…

Weekend in Kenora
So basically I needed to get out. It had been three months of basically complete social isolation beyond Zoom meetings and vaccine clinics and I needed to get out of this tiny town. Also, Ontario had been in Step 1 of re-opening for a couple weeks and I was starting to lose my mind with…

Obsessions: June 26
Well I did not write blog posts for Thursday and Friday, I had every intention, but I should have known I would be too tired after each day of vaccine clinics to do anything besides the bare minimum of taking care of myself. And the power went out after this crazy wind/rain/hail storm on Wednesday…
