The Perfect Friday Night

 Okay, I left you hanging with my last post, didn't I? Lucky for you, nobody reads this blog and so nobody lost any sleep over it. The day before my class was to resume in-person learning, a new COVID case was diagnosed in the AM class. As it turned out, public health and the school board decided they didn't care and we were allowed out of isolation and returned to class. Thanks guys. Thankfully all has been good since then. Here's a recap of what has happened since my last blog post: I returned to work I got my vaccine I reacted poorly to the vaccine and spent two days in bed I've struggled to keep up with house work and am currently living in squalor (okay, not quite) (also, not much different than before my last blog post/isolation 😂) My in-laws brought over their old outdoor table and chairs.

The ground was brown with fallen leaves, the temperature was decent, and there wasn't too much wind. By Saskatchewan standards, that's a pretty beautiful day for November. There's something romantic about the idea of a blizzard so bad that it keeps you trapped inside your home, warm and cozy, for a whole weekend.
