A little bit about moi:
I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator.
I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors.
Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka.
I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other.

Yes, with the wind chill it felt like minus 30. Today I wore my snow pants but forgot I needed suspenders and they kept slipping down. I felt I was a teenager who wears my pants below my bottom…lol

haha! What an image. I’m glad you are finding things to laugh about even though the weather is so awful. How incredibly cold – I can’t really imagine what it must feel like. Do your front teeth ache when the wind hits them? Mine would.

Oh no my mouth is covered with a ski mask and I wear a pilot fake fur lined hat, a warm scarf AND a hood…plus my coat is down filled…I’m warm alright…my forehead may get cold if I don’t lower my hat and my cheeks…usually just my eyes are showing and they just cry a lot and the tears turn to ice on my eyelashes

Wow! Such a different way of life to mine. I’m in awe. Tears turning to ice! It sounds like something from Hans Christian Anderson. It’s amazing that you still do your night shift and walk home at midnight. You must be a very tough woman.

Born and raised here makes it commonplace. But the past 30 yrs have been difficult with Fibromyalgia as our cold mixed with humidity makes it achy

I really hope you find some way to improve your circumstances. You do seem to be doing it tough a lot of the time.

I can’t complain. I am fortunate to have made accommodations to have 3 day weekends; I added other parts of Canada on m y weather app on my phone to check out other areas where it is much colder. -35C in Yellowknife…I am warm as toast compared lol. It has warmed up a lot here today at -13 and snowing. May take a walk later and maybe get some nice photos.
