Life Update: Tech Debt

Hello Villlhelllmians!,

Let’s face it, we all have some tech debt in our lives. It’s like that old pair of jeans you just can’t throw away, or that embarrassing photo from high school that you still keep in your wallet. But just like emotional baggage, tech debt can become overwhelming if not addressed.

Think of every new device or software program you add to your life as adding a new piece of emotional baggage to your backpack. And let’s be honest, some of us have backpacks that weigh more than we do. But fear not, my fellow techies, there is hope. By regularly taking stock of our devices, software programs, and online accounts, we can identify and address areas of tech debt before they become overwhelming and negatively impact our daily lives.

Now, I know some of you are thinking, “But I love my old software and processes! It’s like a warm hug from an old friend.” I get it, I really do. But just like that old pair of bell bottom jeans that are sitting in the closet, sometimes it’s time to say goodbye and move on to something better. Sure, newer tech can cost more, but it can also save you time and come with a better experience. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good upgrade?

So, my tech-savvy friends, let’s embrace the challenge of addressing our tech debt and make our technological systems as efficient and effective as possible. And who knows, maybe we’ll even shed a few pounds (of tech debt, that is) in the process.

If Our House Could Talk: House Priority List – Patio Sanding

Today, I bring you an epic tale of patio renovation that involves my mis-adventures with sanding down posts and flooring. Join me on this rollercoaster ride of laughter, frustration, and a whole lot of determination!

Day 1: A Sanding Odyssey Begins. With my DIY spirit aflame, I’ve embarked on my patio transformation journey. Armed with an assortment of sanding tools and papers, approaching the first post with gusto. Little did I know what awaited me: a Herculean task of sanding down multiple posts and the entire flooring. “It’s just wood,” I muttered, blissfully unaware of the hours and days that lay ahead.

Day 2: The Tool Trials. As I have valiantly battled against the stubborn wood, I’ve realized that not all sanding tools are created equal. I’ve experimented with various gadgets, hoping to find the Holy Grail of sanding prowess. First, I’ve tried the electric sander, but it danced around like an enthusiastic kangaroo on caffeine. Next, I’ve attempted with a grinder. Oh, the trials and tribulations of tool selection!

Day 3: A Symphony of Sanding Papers.

Day 4: A Dance of Frustration and Encouragement. As the message for this week is “Get the right tool and the job will be done!”.

Day 5: The Great Sanding Marathon. With each passing day, my sanding saga took on mythical proportions. “One post at a time,” became my mantra, a testament to my undying determination.

Grand Dad’s Is Finally Back! 🍩

We have some fantastic news to share with you. Our favorite donut store, Grand Dad’s, has finally reopened its doors after a couple of weeks of renovations. Get ready to indulge in heavenly treats once again as we bid farewell to Tim Hortons donuts and welcome back our beloved Grand Dad’s!

With the news of Grand Dad’s reopening, the excitement was palpable. Donut enthusiasts like us eagerly counted down the days, anxiously awaiting the opportunity to sink our teeth into their delectable creations once more. But when the big day arrived, we found ourselves faced with an unexpected challenge—a line that seemed to stretch to the horizon. Rumors had spread that Grand Dad’s was now selling a staggering 10,000 donuts a day, and the crowd was a testament to their popularity.

Despite the initial setback of the seemingly endless line, our dedication and love for Grand Dad’s prevailed. With determination in our hearts, we returned to the donut haven a couple of days later, hoping for a shorter queue. And oh boy, were we rewarded for our perseverance! The scent of freshly baked goods wafted through the air, beckoning us inside.

As we stepped into the renovated store, a wave of nostalgia washed over us. The familiar charm and warmth that had always accompanied our visits greeted us once more. The display case was adorned with a glorious array of donut masterpieces—glazed, sprinkled, filled, and every delightful variation in between. It was a sight that made our taste buds dance in anticipation.

Woof, woof! 🐾

Woof, woof, bonjour! It’s Boujee and Dapper, your favorite Frenchies, here to fill you in on the latest happenings in our furry lives. Join us as we embark on a journey through our newfound spots in the house—one of us soaring to new heights, while the other finds blissful comfort down below.

Listen up, mes amis! Boujee has discovered a hidden gem in our abode—the loft! With a triumphant leap and a wag of her mini tail, she has claimed this elevated territory as her own. From her lofty perch, she enjoys a bird’s-eye view of the household, watching over her beloved humans with the grace and poise of a true queen.

But, dear readers, do you know the real reason Boujee adores her loft hideaway? It’s the perfect vantage point to keep an eye on her precious toys, neatly arranged on the kitchen island. Our little diva never misses an opportunity to ensure her toys are well-guarded! With a playful gaze, she can monitor their every move and make sure they stay in their designated spot.

While Boujee basks in her newfound realm above, I, Dapper, find solace in a more grounded haven. Downstairs, on the plush and cozy bed, I indulge in the art of the daytime nap. With my paws in the air and a contented snore, I embrace the joy of relaxation. Oh, the luxury of a soft bed and the pure bliss of uninterrupted slumber! It’s my personal haven where I can recharge and rejuvenate.

As Boujee keeps a vigilant eye from above, I am the master of restfulness below. While she enjoys her watchful duties, I happily drift off to dreamland, cherishing the moments of tranquility that sleep brings. We each have our own little corners of happiness in this wonderful home we share.

We hope you enjoyed this continuous glimpse into our lives, dear Vilhemers. Until next time, au revoir, and may your days be filled with as much comfort and happiness as Boujee’s loft adventures and my tranquil slumbers!
