A day in the life of lockdown Toronto ðŸ‡¨ðŸ‡¦

I went to my mom’s this week and stayed a couple of nights (she’s been part of our bubble since the beginning of covid).

Some of these family members are packrats and/or shoppers and/or attached to things for reasons that elude me and this has been a main source of my deteriorating mental health (and sanity) since the day we stepped into this house. Which, ironically, was before the kids arrived, but after the death of a parent and an unhealthy attachment to things like furniture which was neither practical nor fit into this, my (our) small house.
