I feel like I, perhaps, left my dear readers hanging; I will make amends by updating you on the goings-on in the Boyhouse. 1) Mark has been using an inhaler for a week, and he has NOT COUGHED FOR A WEEK. Happy coincidence? Related: I have been sleeping uninterrupted through the night. Not once have […]
Cheerful thoughts for a crappy weekend

It has been a dull, dreary weekend. It started for me at 6:20 am on Saturday when Mark woke me up with the words no one likes to hear, “Mom, I feel like I’m going to barf.” Fortunately no barfing ensued, but unfortunately he spent the weekend feverish, lethargic, and without an appetite.

I had a plan to write a really funny post about how yesterday’s Costco trip destroyed my faith in humanity, but my neighbour restored it; and how the entire city suddenly got over their collective seasonal affectedness disorder because the sun came out and the temperature got above freezing and this was the actual, number […]
