Life is going in a simple fashion today. We walked the nature trail with the mutts, the best trail in the whole park. The weather is cold and sunny, my favourite kind of weather. Hubby went to read and work on his book.

Mood is messy today for hubby. The passing of his mum and the work troubles really are hard on him. We may face a financial squeeze if he looses his job...he gets one complaint for rudeness by students a term, out of four classes. It’s not that bad surely!?

At the same time, I am not impressed by middle class white Canadian culture as you very well know...the complaints are so petty, and basically just mean “His comment made me feel awkward in my self esteem!” I find white Canadians really feel entitled. As soon as you contradict them, they actually feel , their word, “oppressed”. They are too spoiled And truly have no clue what “injustices “really mean. Because someone is mildly grumpy should not be cause for his losing his job.
