To My Cottage Guests & Friends

Heads up! With the state of things, I will no longer be offering access to Netflix at the lake. You will still have access to Disney+, Paramount+, Apple TV and Music, Crave + HBO, alongside any other streaming services I continue paying for (that allow me to stream at my primary and secondary residences). It’s a bit of a moving target at the moment as I prioritize finances and where I choose to spend my money. You will always be able to stream using your OWN accounts/profiles, just remember to LOG OUT once you’re done streaming. I try to always remember to check and reset the TV settings before new guests arrive.
I will also be testing a new Internet Service Provider this spring for a potential shift away from our current provider. While I know that many good hearted people work at SpaceX and Starlink, I am having trouble reconciling with their CEOs most recent actions. Windmill will always have internet/WiFi, but I cannot speak to it’s reliability. I will keep you posted but understand if you wish to cancel your reservation at the lake based on any of the above decisions.

Mid April Update

Back at work for my second week after having COVID. Seems the whole family is in good health now and I haven’t personally noticed any lingering symptoms or issues. Looking forward to meeting my new rheumatologist (rheumatoid arthritis specialist) next week (!!!) so there may be a few days of ‘wonky schedules’ to get through at the radio station. I’m thankful for the support I have and continue to receive at work regarding my health issues. Gotta take care of this body and this life while I’ve got it!

BIG NEWS: My birthday wish for the kids at CHEO is getting a signal boost from my radio station. For the next week or so, you’ll hear ads encouraging donations for the hospital’s child life department - they then give gifts to kids receiving in patient treatment. Something I’m very familiar with. This is my biggest cause that I love to support. If you’d like to contribute, please CLICK HERE.

COTTAGE NEWS: Some major expenses are on the immediet horizon, like: new chimney, water line (well & pump) corrections and a visit from our local neighbourhood exterminator! Woohoo! Now, before you judge me for hiring pest control LET IT BE KNOWN that I’m hoping to only have one inaccessible area of the cabin cleared out; the nightly scratch-scratch-scratching behind the head of my bed (in the wall) has GOT to stop! I’m not going murder-happy on the local fauna.

We’re hoping to get the cabin ready for guests earlier than May 24 weekend, so if you’re a pal & want to book some time at the lake - get in touch! Someone’s gotta help me pay these bills!

If you’re reading this, I hope you had a wonderful easter weekend. Sunny days ahead!
