University walk book and dog in tow

 Get walking to read my book on benches, Dixie ontrail sniffing about as she waits for me.


I'd stop for ten minutes and read 3-5 chapters.  On total I read several chapters well walking to the university.


About two hours and ten minute walk.  I needed the endorphins, I was swelching in my thoughts this morning and needed to get out.  I stopped on the way back for a berry scone and coffee. Read a chapter there also.  

I was thankful for many things.  That my grandparents are still around and sending mail and texts.  My sister and her husband are far away on adventures, I missing them often. My brother and his family are on adventures also.

 The other day I wore my Oilers shirt and put it out for Kim. Knowing we go early, Kim's parents told my brother to wear his jersey's.  Then her parents out theirs jerseys on.  So nearing the time we were leaving I asked if we could take a family photo.

Which I haven't ask to share it on my blog so I marked the photo.

It was a eventual dinner weekend.

Then on Sunday we got lamb dinner πŸ₯—  🐏 and we played 3 games of cards.  I won once, Kim won twice, all games were very close, my mom got close to winning one.  Maybe should of played til we all won one game.  Yet three games is lots.  A fun function ☺️ and the week end was very relaxing.


Monday my uncle which recently got over Covid and only survived cause he had one vaccination, just scrapped by the death door.  He texted me for a first time since he got out and I was thinking of him often. Happy to get a reply to many texts cheering him on.  I got thinking I'd hope to visit soon and go out to a family run establishment, to eat out.

Monday Kim and I go to Smitty's and we read part of a book, plan the week.  I told her she talked lots, as we were paying I said, "it is a pleasure to go out and eat with you Kim."

 I shuddered at my math narrative in giving a tip.

I thought a dollars about for tip but second guessed myself and did a % then realized, I tip in change not up to dollars.  That bugged me going out and I dropped my hat, Kim reminded me of my mask walking out, and I put it on, I was going she told me I forgot my pie. Which I had to go back a few steps for. 

Was quite hard to get out. That. This is... That, okay.

A Thanksgiving special is a big meal.  I enjoyed it but for the meal, I just couldn't fit a pie in me.

Now Tuesday, Dixie and I take a long walk.  We were talking at Smitty's of doing the corn maze, but they never open til noon on holidays.  I offered to walk around park where we took photos.  But Kim needed a nap.  I napped off a big meal and on with laying down and going about a day giving Dixie a small walk but nothing like today.

I decided to go for a two hour walk with Dixie by our-selves, About 5 km.

Look at the long shadows seen in this photo. A beautiful photo shot.


At a University, late grandma always said she would go back to University in retirement but I guess her end of life was just as busy with her adoptive children and family as would of going.

I walked there and thought how great it would be to go back in my 40's or how time flies. A five year old kids say they were born in 2016 and I think that was only two years ago.

Reading on benches are way way more fun than at home, Found a good spot to look out.


It took us all morning we left at quarter to ten and came back quarter to noon.

I'm tired 😫 my feet are tingling and numb. Sort of buzzing if nerves in feet could buzz.

An enjoyed walk.

Dixie is eyed closed and out.

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour πŸƒ‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  πŸƒ‍♂️ 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 πŸƒ‍♂️   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 ...

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...

Night run 5 Celsius πŸƒ‍♂️

  Night run πŸƒ‍♂️ after work  Dixie and I get running at 11 pm at night.  After work I do a 45 minute run πŸƒ‍♂️ doing 5 km we started at 10:12. It was 5 Celsius outside and I felt warm running πŸƒ‍♂️  I’m sweat πŸ˜“ a lot less than I did when I started I’d be in a full soaked sweat πŸ˜… the last six months I’ve improved 450 plus percent  That’s a good feeling, I’m happy πŸ˜ƒ to say.  Making a difference in my life and how I feel. Journaling, exercising, reading… Hey guys, Uh πŸ™„ I was wondering if any of you had remedies for reducing  Eh um  πŸ˜ cough… The feelings of existential dread and facing and bearing the weight of the crashing realities of life. Do you think turmeric will help?!?! I ask myself is exercise really like meditation where you get brain clarity and pay more attention to books or life. All of a sudden a gym membership looks doable this morning  a February post I go to say. Both is doable.  Life and books You don’t need a gym mem...
