Raquel isn’t home this morning which means the pups are snoozing on their beds in my office.

It’s an absolutely perfect lazy Sunday afternoon in the hammock district.
Finished rewatching Ted Lasso season one over lunch just in time for season two tomorrow.
That is the fifth time I have watched through season one. This show is unmatched.
Cottage weekend 2021 was a great success!
Finally took some time this week to get my ears lowered.
Enjoyed a bon fire and some time with friends last night.
This morning I had to take the hard step of saying goodbye to my longtime furry accomplice. His surgery a few months ago went well but there’s only so much you can do against cancer.
And now I just have to wait two weeks!

Lockdown restrictions have eased which means two things.
First the Carleton can host another Craft Draught Showdown!
Second it means it is another opportunity for a #selfieswithoutgrant
I’ve worn an Apple Watch for a little over 6 years but today I managed to extend my move streak to 365 days for the first time!
Out on the town for our Anniversary dinner and Raquel is dressed for Halifax in June!

In some ways it seems like a small thing, but learning that my employer was making Juneteeth a global holiday felt important.
We want everyone at 1Password to have the opportunity to reflect and learn about racial inequality, so we’re making Juneteenth a paid holiday for our team of 400+ people, across the globe – our (virtual) offices will be closed on Friday, June 18, 2021. In an effort to educate and inspire action, we shared information on the history/heritage of the holiday and ways 1Password employees can make a difference in their communities.
