A Date after Appt

 Holiday Date


Kim and I go to a doctor appointment,. I got pick up a kombucha and sit at a park wishing I brought the dog 🐕. Which it was a good thing I didn't cause soon after the appointment 😃 we thought we would go get supper.


First Kim got her hair done and she looks fabulous.  I am chauffeuring her over the city.  First I did bring the dog 🐕 and Kim's mom said hi to her.  Dixie was the state of excitement, I wait for the call to pick her up.  I didn't bring her the second time but might of been good if I did.  If I did we would of never been able to go on our date leaving her in the car.  It got to be a warm day and we both wore flip flops everywhere.

Going to that hairstyles we pick up breakfast at McDonald's.  Dixie got an ice cream cone, which would of been a good photo opportunity but we didn't.  She never got one on her birthday.

Here's last year's photo.


This year she actually got the cone, they weren't doing that last year with Covid.

Then after the appointment we decided to go for an early supper with out the crowds.  Usually at shift change.  At 3, we were trying to go at an empty time.  So my anxiety and sanity are balanced.  We talked about our books we are reading and decide to support local and pick up some books at Chapters.  Which how Kim and I purchase books are different. I buy books to give books away.  So I got David Attenborough and a Brian Greene book.

I'm sure some one might be interested in my circle.

Which books are expensive, usually I get 3 books for half the price.  So I don't know if store credit or points work.  Yet I own the book and pass it on with not much difficulty with membership passwords or user ID or subscription.  All very well, makes it easier to mail a gift after reading.

Kim and I got an excellent date and an adventure at one of our favourite spots. The bookstore.

The way I read, we'd agree 🙂 a book date is way better than a bar date.  

Well I find, the society in which we found our selfs mingling and walking through.  I found relaxing and my enjoyable place to walk through.  I was going to pull out my book list.  Then I said nope going to see what's on the shelf and not do this Amazon app or digital book list.


Seeing the bookstore selection I found some authors I read in 2016, others I heard his book was coming out and I wanted to read.  I get so much BBC animal parent videos or other advertising animal parent video for advertising and I go I have to read David Attenborough book.  Just so I don't go insane on all these animal parent danger videos.  I see him everywhere, if not him a similar vlog.

I would walk away from Facebook, which it was nice on our date most the time our phones were away.  Unless trying to find each other for appointments.  

Kim's tells me stories of her 18th birthday time at the local restaurant. I go it's been over a decade since then.  She goes well we have known each other for half a decade.🙂. 

I still need to hear her stories, they hire local chefs and know her allergies so there's less concern.  We got the restaurant mostly to our selfs.  Another couple behind us giggle to them selfs. 

Kim looked around the restaurant and they put local paintings all up on the wall to buy.  Some of them were done very well.  

They said we could buy it and have it the same day.

Chapters and a meal that I treated Kim out.

Kim bought the books.

The date night a successful.

I told Kim I wanted to go to all these places on her holiday so she felt like she did something.

It takes quite alot to get me out lately.

And I almost hyperventilated walking through the mall parking lot to our car.

It could be a whole other story.

Happy Easter Break.


A quick stop at the parents house to show Kim's hair cut, decided it got cooler this evening and expecting rain 🌧️ tomorrow

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour 🏃‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  🏃‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run 🏃‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

Walk mid October with my Mom

  Walks with my mom The water looks like glass just crystal smooth.  My mom and I are walking to the river and in life. It’s like we’re always walking away.  Getting closer to the end, my poet mind says.   I say I got to enjoy these walks and I was silent most the walk just trying to enjoy 😊 my time with her. Or walk end more so with 🐾 paw printed pants 👖 from dogs jumping.  We say maybe a dozen dogs 🐕. A wonderful time.  I often thought it was too early to spell like alcohol.  But surprised to pass another walker, but each to their own I probably smell like an ashtray. Although I never smoked or chewed tobacco on my walk.  I just want to walk with my mom.  Often times I don’t think I could spit out everything I wanted to say so much so that I just said in these moments you don’t have to chew tobacco and say anything. Dixie and both us individually by the fallen tree arch. A path going to the river, under which most the trees 🌳 there are...

Walk and a run in to the vet

 Another adventure for Dixie,  she is an expensive dog….🐕 We enjoy 😊 our walks. Up top of the coulee you can see the university  Sonny and I go walking the south side dog park,  it tricky terrain for sure.  It’s nice 😊 for the scenery I think, yet a bit treacherous at times.  A person has to be careful let alone a dog 🐕 being careful. Here is Sonny and I smiling giving a thumbs up to the camera 📸  The walk was decent though some difficult 😞 parts for today, Dixie is on a 14 day hiatus from walking.  She’ll probably want to go sooner rather than later. I think we’re stuck to just five minute poop 💩 walks than the hour or two hour walks we usually do. I’m unsure when it happen but my guess is near the end of the walk when I noticed it. Dixie gets to close to the bushes today, I kept looking her over but noticed a different spot on her at the end of our walk.   Dixie goes through some bushes and gouged a piece out of her. Now Dixie has th...
