Well friends... you did it. We're getting a yard! And a house. With ramps and an accessible shower. And dog space!
Homes like these are rare. Like finding a needle in a haystack. And the housing market is hot so we made an offer and it was accepted. It's over our pre-approved amount so we needed to come up with the rest as cash. And thanks to you, we've done it. Anything extra will go to the few extra modifications we need to make (there's a couple of rooms that will have no doors so I fit and it would be nice to widen them, and we need a stove with front knobs so I don't light myself on fire, and one interior ramp) and stuff like window blinds instead of sheets. 😊 And maybe those things that go in cupboards that make it so you can pull the stuff out and all the dry goods won't have to live on the cupboard. And eventually get the laundry set up on the mainfloor. But it's functional while that stuff happens. I can get in and out and use the bathroom!
We've been looking for awhile and this just hit the market Thursday evening. We're going into it with @HeyPistol and his dad. There's plenty of room for everyone and we need someone to shovel snow. Splitting the mortgage and utilities makes it feasible but coming up with my portion of the down payment was going to be a challenge. You folks really came through. I don't even have the words to express my gratitude right now. I'm kind of in a state of disbelief. Chesnyy is going to have a place to run around, even in the winter. Inevitably she can get a younger, bigger brother. And we can plant a raspberry bush in Kuno's honor as he loved it when we found bushes in the alley and could pick a few.
I'll keep you all update during the process. This is so exciting. And kind of scary. But no more worrying about the elevator not working. No more worrying about having to move to another city to find a place to rent if my landlord sells. An easy option for winter pottybreaks. The chance to even start a little dog training business from home. All the stuff I never really thought possible is now right there.
❤️
All I can say is thank you for helping us through this journey. I've been on a bit of a self pity trip since Kuno's passing. Now I need to get my butt in gear and start rolling into the future and being the best me I can.
Canada’s head coach Jesse Marsch says that Qatar’s Assim Madibo came into Canada’s dressing room to apologize to Ismael Koné & the team about the leg injury he caused. 🇨🇦🇶🇦
When I deliberately embarked on this path toward joy, I discovered something transformative. As joy gradually began to heal my wounded spirit and lift me from the depths of that persistent sadness, I felt compelled to share my experiences with others. I wanted to offer my journey as a beacon of hope, allowing others who might be struggling to glean whatever insights they could from my personal transformation.

By 2026, digital media had engulfed everyday life. In 2026, I created an experience through the tactile, quiet, unhurried act of reading on paper. Inside The Gurdeep Magazine, you’ll find essays crafted for slow, quiet reading, all centered on joy, hope, and positivity.

Heartbroken to hear about the passing of my friend @tomdreesencomic.
Tom was one of the greats. An incredible comic, a true gentleman, and a beautiful human being
All my love to his family, friends, and everyone who was lucky enough to know him.
Rest easy, Tommy. ❤️
🚨🇨🇦 Understand Canada midfielder Ismael Koné has suffered fractured fibula and tibia fracture as well.
He’s now in the hospital with his mother Suzanne, supporting ahead of surgery.
Koné could be out for 4-5 months, World Cup over.
Madibo went to apologize in dressing room.
The FIFA World Cup stadium announcement was so long I thought it was a terms-of-service agreement. 😂
“Press 1 to accept and continue to kickoff.”

#Canada vs #Qatar ⚽🇶🇦
Canada vs Qatar kicks off this afternoon in downtown Vancouver, so we asked our expert analysts what they thought about this pivotal group stage match — and the consensus was clear 🇨🇦
I have been obsessively/pathologically reading privacy bills and privacy laws for at least 29 years, and this bill does not directly address "surveillance pricing." This statement is based on an expectation of guidelines to be issued by an unknown future privacy regulator.
“Since yesterday evening, our dedicated and skillful pilots have been working their best to put out a wildfire burning 25km south east from Qaqortoq, South Greenland.
The wildfire is close to being under control, after many hours of work and dedication with the local emergency services and volunteers from Nalunaq.
This shows that will and dedication together, can achieve such great things!
We are greatful to have such people around that are willing to take responsibility in such matters when there is need for it.”

Silversea cruise ship, 1 long blast (4-6 seconds): “I am leaving the dock” or “getting underway.” Or Canada 🇨🇦 WINS 6-0 :)
Celebrating 🥳 are everywhere today in
#Vancouver
Granville is so packed I can’t walk the street with my bike due to Canada 🇨🇦 FIFA Fans. Cell phone connection is spotty due to so many. Once Canada Place exits this place is going to be NUTS! It’s only 4:45pm 😂
