Twas the night before lockdown and all through the city…..people were once again hoarding toilet paper. Assholes.

I can’t believe they are doing this again.

Literal lineups for grocery stores all over the city when they are not even closing. It’s funny how people never learn.

Actually it’s not funny, it’s sad. And frustrating.

So here we are again.

Well, they decided to lock us down again. But here is the kicker. It’s just for the Toronto/Peel region which makes no sense because although we are the hotspot, people will be travelling 15 minutes outside the city borders to eat and shop and just spread it outwards.

So this is lots of fun. I love it when they tell you this at 3:30 in the afternoon on a Friday to go into effect at 12:01 am Monday.

This weekend is going to be Chaos.

Well, the weather is back to cold after the heatwave last week, and I have been wearing lots of layers. It actually made me feel inspired to build a winter capsule wardrobe today.

Yes, I am a glutton for punishment and usually don’t get my weekly capsule wardrobes done (and sometimes started) until the night I post them which is why this is a day late.

I spent my time on the kids’ gift guide earlier this week which took my time form this one. Plus, I had to bake a birthday cake for Tom’s birthday last night as well.

I would love to be like some people and have weeks of posts lined up at any given time but I just can’t seem to make it work with everything else that has to be completed each day.

So here we are.

If you don’t know I have a 9-year-old and 15-year-old. They both have birthdays within the next month so they will be 10 and 16 before Christmas.

It is an expensive time of year.

In the year 2000, I bought a coat. It was knee-length, brown corduroy with a large faux fur collar. I loved that coat. I wore it everywhere for years.

Even though it wasn’t winter weather appropriate I wore it anyway.

I wore it so much that the fur started to turn pink from the wash-out pink streaks I used to put in my hair.

Then sometime in the mid 2000’s it disappeared.

Okay. The Christmas tree is now up. Merle has literally been asking since July when she saw someone in the apartment across from us had theirs up (or left up still from last year).

I promised her that we would put it up tonight if she cleaned up the area that we planned on putting it, and damn she did a pretty decent job.

So now it is up and the Christmas ambiance is kicking in.
