Yesterday I had 20 minutes to myself. The entire day. Which began at 5 am.
I’m always up early. Mornings are my quiet time to write, or read. Except not now, because…puppy.

As of today, the local board of Education is going to start calling every parent of school-aged children to find out what their intention is.
There are a few options here in my city of Toronto:
So this morning, they left. Every single one of them! I had an empty house. 😀
Today was the first day of school for Canadian children.
