One thing I’ve noticed in this town is I’ve found it hard to find a place to get a poppy! I went to the bank across the street, I ran there before work, and no, they didn’t have them, nor did they know where I should go. I’ve never had to google it, but I …

Old Toys
Yup, I’m full of random posts. I hope these aren’t boring. A while back, I noticed that the noise What’sApp makes when you have new messages reminded me of something…something…what was it? What I settled on was the little humming noise an old toy I used to have made if you shook it just right. …
We’ve Lived In Kitchener For A year. Oh, And Metropolitan Movers Is Still Amazingly Terrible
Today marks a year since Carin and I moved to Kitchener from guelph. I’m not sure where all that time went, but here we are. We’re doing well and really starting to like it here. We’re constantly learning more and more useful things about how to get around these 3 cities that somebody decided should …
So I Had My Eyes Ultrasounded Yesterday
My eye ultrasound was yesterday, and since you’re reading this so soon, it means I didn’t die or get seriously maimed during the process. Yay! I was a little worried about things in the days leading up to it just because I didn’t know what to expect. I can handle different types of doctor induced …
What’s This Eye Surgery Business
Seems my passing reference to eye surgery in yesterday’s happy birthday to the blog post didn’t go unnoticed. Nice to see that folks are paying attention. So since people are asking about it, I should probably explain. I’ll let one of the comments I left over there do some of the heavy lifting for me. …
Huppy 2.0 Has Arrived!
Just a quick note, because I don’t want this to wait super super long. To recap for people who might not know, our neighbour from our old building has a kid that I nicknamed the huppy because in one of my Trixie posts, I called him a human puppy. Well, on Thursday, Huppy 2.0 was …
The Final Round Of Doggie Updates…For Now!
I think, maybe, this will be my last completely dog-focused post for a while. *puffpuff*. That was a lot of notes. I learned a lot more about Tansy the plant when Steve and I went to Cambridge Centre one Sunday. We met a lady who dyes her own yarn, and she says she uses Tansy …

Tansy Updates, Great And Small, Part V
Is anybody bored yet? *hopes not* I’ve amassed an insane pile of observations, but maybe this stuff is only fun for me. About that, it seems with Tansy, I have this need to try and capture everything. I have tried to record her labby loops around the living room. I have tried to observe everything …
Tansy Updates, Great and Small, Part IV
So it’s morning. Time to get more Tansy stuff up. I have had so many firsts go by already. Tansy had her 2nd birthday back on May 31, and I didn’t blog a word. Shame on me. I think that must have been quite the birthday, we had a long day of work, followed up …
Tansy Updates, Great and Small, Part II.
Geesh I’m tired after writing that first giant post. But if I stop, I’ll never get started again. Really need to write these when they’re more manageable. I notice how much I learned from Trixter, and to some extent Babs. The way I react to the curveballs Tansy throws me sort of reminds me of …
