The dogs are walked and fed, I picked up pizza for the kids, Tara just got home from work, and I’m sitting down for the first time in a while to write about the current day.
The girls had a PD day today meaning there were no school pickups, so it was nice to not have to rush around. I did drive Abby to her friends early evening as she is having a weekend sleepover, and then I picked up Emma from her mom’s. I wanted to have a quick look through Bed Bath and Beyond for a corner shelf for the bathroom, so Emma browsed the adjacent Indigo.
I couldn’t find what I was looking for so I joined Emma and we found some books. One for me on personal finance, and a few classics for Emma as they were 3 for $10. We then grabbed hot drinks and treats and made our way home.
I need a social media break. Other than sharing these stories for the next few weeks of course. There is just too much anger and hatred and it gets to a guy. I’m quite pissy within these days. I have been having fun sharing Pierre Poilievre apple munching videos, but other than that I have an urge to scream a big fvck you to it all.
The song God by John Lennon comes to mind. I don’t believe in labels, identity politics, group think, cancel culture … I just believe in me. My family, and me.
I used to listen to this song – the Imagine album – a lot. I was a big John Lennon fan. The Beatles in general. It was also a movie I watched many times.
