The plan when I put the offer in on my house, was dinner with my dear friend on my deck, often. We started w/ takeout just an hour after I took possession of my house.
But then cancer had other plans.
I’m sad we never got to have those deck evenings or any more adventures.
I miss you already Laura.
There is nothing I love more than watching my two countries face each other on the pitch/ice/field… but it will always be #GoCanada #SheBelievesCup #watchwomenssports #canwnt
I spent the evening with a friend in hospice.
It’s the last place we wanted to be… nothing is fair or ok.
But it was still such a sacred and sweet time and I am so thankful for it.
My algorithm on other social medias is showing me one thing: hockey.
Amazing 🇨🇦 players.
Dumb 🇺🇸 players.
Fictional players.
Then last night I dreamed I was dating a semi-pro player.
It might make me a bad Canadian, but I’m so ready to stop thinking about hockey for a minute.
Now that I’ve been gone for 7+ years, I totally hear the “Canadian accent” and I’m not sure there’s much I enjoyed more over the last week than listening to Canadian hockey players in interviews say “about”
It warms my heart so much and i really hope that I still have my Canadian accent too!
I have just done all sorts of administrative tasks my adhd brain has been putting off for far too long…
And I’m proud of myself
And I’m also annoyed because I was hoping they’d just take 5 minutes and instead took like 2 hours.
I’ll give props to Hellebuyck - he played a phenomenal game and deserves that gold medal.
Everything else though? 💔
Is it too much to ask for another 2010-Crosby thing?
I’m pretty sure the only talking point these commentators have is that Crosby isn’t in this game.
I think we all know this now after you mention it every three minutes.
I’m regretting choosing caffeinated coffee this morning.
I should have known better.
My poor house.
I’m either out of the house with work/other responsibilities or I’m at home on the couch watching incredible Olympics.
It will get cleaned again some day.
Also, this bronze medal curling match? 😅
It waaaaaaaas!
Things I text while watching men’s hockey:
“We’ve discussed the Mc-Mac-Mak-Macklin thing. But then there’s also Marchand and Marner. Does EVERY Canadian surname start with M?”
(Yes I am a 🇨🇦 texting another 🇨🇦, both of us without M surnames)
(And yes I know one of those isn’t a surname)
When you’re watching a replay of the semi final game cause you had to work earlier and your friend (@divakair.bsky.social)who watched it live tells you to “hold onto your butt”
This Olympic hockey, yall.
I am not ok over here.
#olympics #goldmedal #womenshockey
Loving and hating all this amazing hockey!
3 of 4 quarterfinal games into overtime?
I may be disowned for saying this but GO SWEDEN!
Me rn: stress eating a whole box of gf Cheez-its.
Come on Canada!
This is embarrassing. 😳

ITS FINALLY HOCKEY TIME
This summer we took our youth group to a luge park and got the opportunity to do a run of wheel luge.
It was so fun and now I am so appreciating these luge athletes that much more!
I feel I need to make my opinion known, after receiving texts from two American friends at the exact same time.
One said “we LOVE the maple coats!”
The other said “I really don’t like Canada’s outfit.”
I….. I love it so much. It’s not a normal coat like so many other countries.
I love the giant 🍁
“In a time when the world is so divided with conflict, you’re here to prove another world is possible.”
And I’m bawling.

It’s Olympic Season!
I love that any sport can become a new favourite.
Currently getting into Big Air… altho totally bummed that McMorris isn’t able to compete.
Don’t mind me as I sit here devouring all the Olympics content I can (even tho it hasn’t even started yet.)
I love Olympic-time-of-year!
Bring on the gear unboxing vids. The lip syncing on the bus. The sightseeing. The practices. I wanna see it all!
Willie says SPRING and Phil says more winter.
Clearly Canada knows best in this matter, right?
So who is binging Schitts Creek with me this weekend?
In case I have not made this clear: abolish ICE, this is pure evil
As a crafter, I love the idea I’ve been seeing of making hats fashioned after the Norwegian hat worn in the 40s as a symbol of visual protest against their occupiers.
I’d make one this afternoon.
Except it’s red. And I cannot get over that.
My car is still set to show temps in Celsius & it’s supposed to get super cold here this weekend (overnight.)
I picked up a friend this evening and she panicked at the sight of the temp listed in my car.
That led to a long convo re: converting between C & F and…
I’m not made to do math at 11pm
There’s enough going on in the world and in my life that I really don’t have time to be worried about frozen pipes on top of everything else.
Why is it gonna be so cold for the next two weeks?
Is it time for spring yet?
