In an A-plus A frame

Two people, one tiny cabin, some wine and a ladder up to bed. What could go wrong?





My friend Jody (HI JODY) found these adorable glamping cabins in Quebec and I shamelessly stole her idea (SORRY JODY) for the one weekend my husband is home this fall. 



The weather has been the perfect mix of what he likes (sunny) and what I like (cold). 



This small canoe felt extremely tippy, but the water was gorgeous. Matt suggested I could just post the pictures without telling everyone what a whiny coward I was, but that's just not me. 



So pretty. So tippy. 



I read on the deck until my fingers wouldn't move anymore. 



Hot tub and fire pit on deck.

That does sound like an A+ weekend. And only one weekend this month? Glad you spent it well.

Oh, the ladder would worry me in the middle of the night. Otherwise this looks like a perfect weekend, tippy canoe and all!

This looks idyllic! I want to spend a long weekend in one of these cabins - just me, my books, and some good snacks.

Well this sounds lovely! I'm laughing at the "whiny coward" description of your canoe outing. Also the ladder up to bed... I take it there were no incidents!

That looks like such a lovely spot for a getaway!! Glad to know you just felt tippy, but didn't make a splash into the water.

I am with Stephany - I want to be there, and the only thing holding me back is that it's in Quebec and oh, right, there are 4 weeks left in the semester. Siggghhhh....

Super Dark Times

 To my American friends, I'm sorry. Not in any kind of distanced, pitying, smug way, because I believe we are headed in a similar direction here in Canada, and I am sad and sick at heart. I told myself I wasn't hoping for the other outcome because I was afraid to, but I realize that I absolutely was, because I was not prepared for how bad this would feel.  Some random thoughts I am having about the whole thing. 1. I'm going to try not to hate anyone. For a while at least. I am totally cool with anyone else hating people that helped this happen. A lot of them did it out of hate. Some did it out of ignorance. Some are struggling and desperate and thought this was a solution. I know that's not an excuse, but it makes me think of when I read The Drowned and the Saved by Primo Levi. He said that he didn't feel like he could judge people who betrayed their fellow Jews for favours from their captors, because he was never given the opportunity and if he had he couldn't ...

Books Read in 2021: Four-Star YA Horror

I am pretty well ensconced in the January doldrums. We are in a deep freeze, and after the major snow dump on Monday I never catch it snowing, and yet there are a few centimetres on the driveway by every evening. I'm happy with my decision not to take any office shifts for a few weeks - it's incredibly stressful, will only be more so now that people are pissed that we're not supposed to be reporting Covid cases, and I don't even get paid my regular library rate. But it does sort of make the days run together. I try to walk Lucy, but it's so cold she starts dancing around lifting up one paw after the other for me to warm with my mittens. We've tried paw covers but haven't found any that fit. So I walk her around the block and then bring her home and keep walking. It's been cold but not very windy, so walking is quite pleasant (I'm finally not too warm!)  I am rewatching The Golden Girls, which I don't think I ever watched all the way through befor...

I'm Sick

 Seriously you guys, I am SO SICK, and I have been stupidly engaging in presenteeism even though I am STRONGLY DISAPPROVING when other people do it. It's not because I think I owe anything to the school board (oh my goodness I do not). It's not because I have delusions of grandeur about how important my job is - wait, maybe I do, because at some of my schools my classes have already missed two weeks of library because of EQAO (which necessitated students writing exams in the library), and it's almost the end of the year, which means most of the librarians are closing the library to circulation soon if not now, and I really didn't want to make them miss one of the last library periods.  Also, and I am putting myself out there so try to be kind, I have realized that there is a dumb little part of people-pleasing oldest-child self that always suspects that if I call in sick people think I'm faking, so it's a tiny bit gratifying to go in and have people say oh my GO...
