Today the clocks were pushed forward an hour and we got an extra hour of sleep – did we actually take it? Not at all, we were both up way too early, but we did get in a walk with Brocky in the morning, as well as some laundry. My main mission for the day […]

Honeymoon
For the past couple of days, we’ve spent some time out at Lake Edge Cottages near Lakefield and Young’s Point. It wasn’t the best weather for adventures, but it was pretty great weather for hiding indoors at a cottage. We opened gifts, and I made it so we had to delay opening them, only opening […]
Tied the knot!
Amy and I finally did the public deed and had our wedding after several delays and obstacles. Obviously for reasons of budget and COVID, it was a tiny ceremony, but many of our most favourite family and friends were present, and lots of laughter, smiles and kisses ensued. Kimberly was Amy’s Maid of Honour, and […]
1.5 days left
It’s my last day of work before a 4 day weekend, and a day and a half until the missus and I tie the knot. Getting nervous, but keeping busy. We have everything packed in the car now, so things are getting real. We also found Amy’s bathing suit for our weekend at the local […]
4 Days Until the Big Day
It’s Tuesday morning, the week before our twice postponed wedding – I think I’m pretty ok, though I’ve been sleeping more poorly other nights this past week. We’ve received loads of gifts from unexpected sources, from Amy’s TOPS pals, to Aunt Beth, and my sister and mom’s week of bridal shower gifts, one of which […]
Dunn Family Reunion
A rare, non-funeral related Dunn family reunion was held in Athens at my dear Aunt Debbie’s place – it was a quiet affair, from my perspective at least, as my section of the reunion was predictably hushed, but it was good to see everyone, including some new faces. Amy wasn’t able to attend as the […]
Welcome to Cameron
We tend to prefer stability in our family situation, at least I do – maybe we’ll change this policy in the future, but having one empty food dish after years of seeing three cats rush over for meals is a big symbol of the empty place in our life where Punky lived. In July, we […]
Rest in Punkiness – 2002-2021
My dear Punky passed away last evening after a quick deterioration. She had gone blind 2 or 3 weeks ago, but was still trucking along, being bad and snuggly. In the past 3 days, despite profound blindness, she actually got herself on the bed and was sleeping on my pillow. But last night she started […]
InstaCart is rife with scams and awfulness
It’s tough to continue trying to ‘make money’ with this service Amy has mostly lost her motivation, which sucks because my own motivation was always lacking My most recent delivery actually cost me money – 2 hours of not interacting with a scammer who chose to not to use “contactless” delivery – ending with having […]
Postponed (again)
Once again, COVID has struck, and Ontario is under lockdown. We had just set the date for April 24, which is such a perfect date for us, but with the new restrictions and closure of most non-essential businesses, we’re stuck. We’ll see what date we can get.
