Home again!
Operation Surprise Visit to My Parents went really well. I left at 8:30 this morning and made it there by 11:30, because the road conditions were not great, to put it mildly. A lot of the highway still hadn't been fully cleared, which made for some treacherous spots, and the wind gusts were so high that everwhere there weren't trees to block the wind there were almost complete white-out conditions due to blowing snow.
My parents were surprised but delighted to see me, and my mother loved the Hubris Shawl. She wore it the entire day I was there. She was also quite pleased with the pulse oximeter and tried it several times. I think she was just proud to show off her great saturation levels, and honestly I was super pleased with them too. The medication she's on really seems to be doing her a lot of good.
We spent most of the day chatting and catching up, and my father showed me his very first self-published novel, which I will have to read now. If anyone is interested, you can find it on Amazon.ca, and it's currently $4 CDN in Kindle format, so not a huge lift financially for most people. Here's the Amazon link: The End of Canada. Full disclosure, I do NOT enjoy my father's fiction. I find his style overwrought and overly enamoured with its own cleverness. I also think he's kind of shit at writing good plot. However, as a dutiful and supportive daughter I am happy to pimp out his book to anyone who is willing to shell out $4 for it.
Interestingly, his book is kinda prophetic? Ish? In that when he wrote it three years ago Trump wasn't in power and there was no talk of annexing Canada, and that's exactly what this book is about--the annexation of Canada by the USA. So if nothing else, the book is extremely timely!
I am going to cut this entry short, because it's already quite late and I am super tired. The road conditions were not improved upon coming home, so I've been driving for six (non-consecutive) hours today, and I am more than ready for bed. I will come back with more updates tomorrow, I promise. :)
Good night, friends!
