Cleaning cleaning and more cleaning

 After the pantry ordering,


We get cleaning the bedroom, surprisingly the dog did not bark his time vacuuming. Last couple of times she has got used to the vacuum.


We moved the bed got under a bed in a way that hasn't happen for some time now.  Fluff and stuff seem to accumulate under.  And now looking under is smooth and clean.

Moved a bed by the window πŸͺŸ to see how long it will stay. I kind of want a bedroom change.  It's been the same way for a few years and I sort of want a change.

Vacuumed most of the house going in other rooms.  Blessed to be here and getting cleaning decreases most stresses.


Next is the laundry that I have been picking up.


I'm super happy Kim cleaned her side of the room.  I broke a sweat.  That's how much weight I have picked up this year.  I declined to pick up pop for supper. Kim says it's a good way to increase a heart rate.

And have only bought one pack last week.

Getting the house clean is huge.  Got to bits of cleaning in our office. Took out all the DVDs.  We haven't turned on a DVD for ages.  Everything is streamed or downloaded lately. So mainly those will go in a someone's garage sale.  Take the whole rubber maid.

Ready to toss them out a rubber maid is expensive and could be used for something else.


Sorted out a closet and hung up all my jackets laying around.  Kim got her closet I got mine.


I wonder if there is a self-rolling door to open and close instead of these bifold wood doors.

That could be set up.


We tossed out three big black garbage bags. Recycled one blue bin box outdoors.


Filled a shelving unite.  Dusted and Kim is cooking supper now watching passengers.

I'm in another room with ear plugs in and I see the movie all in my head.  Watched it a couple years ago and see it like a movie in my imagination.


I better to walk the dog.  It feels way better in the house, yet there's still lots to do from the hibernation we are in.  It should get cold soon.  We have been to lucky this season with weather.

Celebrating Ten Years and Living My Best Life🧘‍♂️ A Quiet Day at Home

  πŸŽ‰ Celebrating 10 Years Together Last night was a beautiful celebration of a decade spent with Kim. We marked our 10-year anniversary with a cozy dinner at The Keg, where I indulged in a hearty 20 oz steak and Kim opted for a more modest 8 oz cut. It felt so good to get out together and enjoy a special evening. We kept things simple—just water to drink, with fresh bread and salad to start. The atmosphere was perfect, and I soaked in every moment of our time together. We’re incredibly grateful for our families, who made the night even more special. My parents generously gave us cash to enjoy our dinner, and Kim’s parents gifted us movie money so we could extend the celebration. Their thoughtfulness reminded us how lucky we are to be surrounded by love and support. Family and friends made it sweeter We were so blessed by our families: my parents gave us cash to enjoy the night and Kim’s parents sent money for a movie treat. Our friends even gifted us a 20% tip card for the meal...

Gratitude, Good Food, and Good Books

 A Thanksgiving weekend of family meals, long walks, and reaching 86 books this year Bryan and I headed out for a walk after he returned from his sister’s Thanksgiving gathering, settling into a steady 30‑minute pace that carried us just under 2 km. The air was crisp with a light breeze, the kind of weather that makes movement feel effortless. I’ve always loved these cooler temperatures—my body doesn’t have to work as hard, and the transition from “easy mode” into a gentle warm‑up felt natural. Carrying 30 pounds with me added that extra layer of challenge, but it blended seamlessly into the rhythm of the walk. We paused at a park bench along the way, taking a moment to sit together before snapping a photo. That small break reminded me how these walks are as much about connection as they are about distance or weight carried. The combination of fresh air, conversation, and the grounding presence of the season made the outing feel restorative. It wasn’t just a walk—it was a reminder...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating πŸ˜… by the time I got home 🏑. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
