The day we first met 5 years later

Kim let me wear my green pants, At she was against me wearing green pants.  She decided it was ok πŸ‘Œ.  Enjoyed a meal out having steak. I had the New York striploin.  I like that fat cut in it. Kim got steak as well,  less fat in the cut ✂️. We went to an urban grocer, where it was the first place we met five years ago on that day. The store is very friendly for us to enjoy dinner. The clerk took a picture and talked us up.  The slurpy machine is gone, yet it's January. It doesn't matter.  When we lived in the area, we always wanted slurps. We would walk there from the house with our late dog 🐢.   Going out to our Dinner Date. The hostess took our picture before we sat down.  I asked right away in case we forgot. Kim wanted selfies. I pensesse that if I am paying a $40 steak, someone could take our picture. We go at odd times; always, our server leaves shift.  I like going early. Waking up first reading the paper in the mornings. Days I wake up early

Walk and dog dirt

 I went for a walk this a.m. Around the block and up the street.   Cigar this morning.   Before hockey this morning.  I picked up Tim's and enjoyed a coffee with donuts.  The donut 🍩 we're for Lincoln, yet we shared some with a grandparent before Lincoln got some.  A treat for a great game. Took a 1\2 hour before the game to clean up the back years before the weather changes.  This year it's a higher index with a la Nina. The weather seems to be changing every two weeks this season.  Yet it might have already turned into an el Nino with the blob in the pacific. The dog dirt took some time to clean up. Four gateway later, it got done. Dix didn't know to respond to me outside. She was in full energy πŸ”‹ to run around. The Dic and I met older men going to church.  Happy, I was puffing down the path on Sunday morning. Maybe the afternoon would be different. I was breathing consistency.  The hockey is warmer than other times.  Seems also sitting on a beach in

Fixed mindset or growth mindset

Check out this book on Goodreads: Mindset: The New Psychology of Success  http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40745.Mindset Now a child is the very sign and sacrament of personal freedom. He is a fresh free will added to the wills of the world; he is something that his parents have freely chosen to produce and which they freely agree to protect. They can feel that any amusement he gives (which is often considerable) really comes from him and from them and from nobody else. He has been born without the intervention of any master or lord. He is a creation and a contribution; he is their own creative contribution to creation. He is also a much more beautiful, wonderful, amusing and astonishing thing than any of the stale stories or jingling jazz tunes turned out by the machines. When men no longer feel that he is so, they have lost the appreciation of primary things, and therefore all sense of proportion about the world. People who prefer the mechanical pleasures, to such a miracle, ar

Hockey, walkey, Mcdonkey

Dix goes to her kennel so we may visit family on an outing. We go to Hockey to watch the Nephew play.  It's our kid time since we don't have kids and can't have them.  We share it with brothers and grandparents' time. The game was good. The Nephew knows how to jump on skates, Kim said, then goes need to get better at skating backwardsπŸ˜ƒ The time got to be relaxing, enjoyable at the age. After we go to Mcdonalds, πŸ” get lunch or breakfast, depending on who you are. Then we notice the grandparents and nephew are there as well.  So we sat socializing longer, enough time to go to the library πŸ“šafter a renew our library subscription. Hard to believe that automation could replace most of those jobs soon. Yet it's a tremendous job they do. Could automation ever replace a partial workforce?  Well, computers and return kiosks have done an excellent job of doing it already like the zoom by or machine πŸ€–vacuum. A stocking robot Amazon could do it. Anyway, i go wal

Dix and a walk

Dix and i for the longest walk we have had for some time. Not too long to get cold, not long enough. The dog πŸ• enjoyed a walk. It's nice coming home and have a lay.  Dix always full of energy and has not relaxed with me for weeks.  Too cold ❄️ to out, or to much power πŸ”‹to enjoy the home 🏑. The other night we had deer fighting in our front yard, sparing with their antlers. We caught that on camera πŸ“·. Today i got to shovel due to warmer temperatures. Or the walk will get slick. It seems all one does is a shovel, and i never went out in the cold for anything. I stayed home. A few disagreements with Dix and Kim for getting stuck inside so long with how cold and short the days are. Here's the last photo of our walk. Dix, who got to pull in the photo with my stopping and camera πŸ“· shooting scenes meant she got tense to get on the move. I believe her paws got feeling the snow and wanted to move. She enjoyed our walk, so did i.  I better go check up on her ag

Troubles are thinking I should say so with sleep deprivation

Days I wonder if I have... Narcolepsy or sleep paralysis or both. As I know, asleep talk, sleepwalk, sleep eating, before sleep or after sleep have hallucinations that if i don't order or wake up in one goes into the day confusion. I am making a synesthesia disorder some times unimaginable.  Also crazy. So i get googling these things. https://www.sleepfoundation.org/articles/narcolepsy Sleep foundation also has a few sleep talking as such; I'm not too worried about it.  I should start talking about these things to doctors.  With bewilderment on how i should go about it.  There is a certain amount of mythology that goes with it or miscommunication with the public, not knowing much about it.  Yet I am deft to the possibility of it getting solved by now; the best thing is to see that maybe there is behaviour support or groups to share troubles or worries on.  I don't give enough analogies in my life with it, and a group πŸ‘₯ of individuals sharing it might be possible to

Pill popping dog in January

Last night,      I turn my head and notice the house 🏠very quit Et.  I go where Dix is.  Start looking for her. She found a box of Advil cold and flu. Chewing the packaging.  I can't even take the stuff here. She is munching on πŸ’Špills.  She had stance odour last night, high as a kite — the pill-popping dog 🐢. She went in her kennel to sleep off the pills. And it was prolonged quiet night after. Can't leave doors open. Finn, I know a different dog. He would never do that.  Dix is always going through the garbage 🚯, drawers, laundry basket 🧺.  Chewing underwear.  She is in the puppy stage.  This week it's been cold enough that she is going stir crazy.  I got to take her for a walk. Yet these cold days make it hard to. How long is not long enough for her.  What's the point of going then, right? Here's a photo walking πŸ‘£ to the parents when it was warm enough those beginning of the week of January.  She got her walks, and I was going about 8 km a day with her
