I have a lot to say, but I guess I have to start this with a trigger warning. I will be talking about loss. I'm talking about miscarriage. Today - October 15th - is pregnancy loss and infant loss awareness day. I think it is important to talk about. Tonight, I lit a candle for …
This weekend, my family and I did something new. We were offered the opportunity to have a staycation at Sandman Signature Saskatoon South. Although we didn't leave our beautiful city, we were able to go to a brand new hotel, and not worry about anything. Usually if a staycation involves not leaving my home, and …
This post will cover days 31 to 36 (April 16-21st). I only know any of this information because keeping track of days is the only thing I use my day planner for anymore. It's been a week since I last posted, and I am good with that. I haven't been posting because I've been spending …

I'm going to take a break from posting about my feelings and anxieties. Except to say, I was feeling sick this morning, and took my temperature about 50 times, BUT THEN I started feeling better. Things got better. (No fever, and my throat stopped hurting.) I'm not one hundred percent, but I'm feeling better, not …
Day 9 with so many more to go. I have been trying to figure out what my focus is these days. What my goals are in this time we've been given. Today, I choose to think of it as time we've been given. We are in the midst of freaking chaos, and it's super scary, …
