First in my family to get my fourth Covid booster

I'm the first

A bit of white in my beard but that's besides the point. Life is not going back to normal.

I often look at people like pandemic restrictions coming back or my life as before with out pandemics. Not much else has changed. News is terrifying right now and if your not seeing it, it's bad.

Like the industrial revolution when farmers came to the city they had no jobs and joined the military. That's how WW started, and in the technology revolution there saying has just as many unemployed or more.

Men Without Work: Post-Pandemic Edition (2022)

So after listening to reports of Covid spike coming in January. They say life will never go back to normal after Covid. Chance are it could even mutate into a 25-55 age killer. Instead it's just doing a number on 55 and older.

I'm almost positive that another spike in ICU are coming in January (how big or if restrictions come back) and wanted to get my injection beforehand.

Saving people extra burn out or just show my support for the nurses/doctors who are getting reference as Hilter and how they're kids should feel in school by trolls.

I was one of those kids when vaccination was going on in grade school. So I remember it well, rural life and any infrastructure be it the bureau or institution were looked as fascism or anti-fascism. Or maybe it was just the school kids in my age group cause my brother and sister never got it like me.

But watching Covid reports.

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

🎉 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...

Back in Stride: A Run Worth Celebrating

After seven weeks of setbacks and recovery, I laced up with Dixie and reclaimed my rhythm—3.64 km of steady effort, heart in the aerobic zone, and a reminder that progress starts with showing up. This afternoon, Dixie and I laced up and headed out for a run while the daylight was still holding on. It felt so good to be back out there after a bit of a break, moving at our own pace and enjoying the fresh air together. There’s something about running with Dixie that makes the effort lighter—her energy and joy keep me motivated, even when I’m easing back into the rhythm. At first, I thought about pushing myself to five kilometers, but I remembered the back pain I’ve been dealing with and decided to listen to the advice of my AI fitness coach: don’t overdo it on the first run back. That reminder helped me focus on the joy of the moment instead of chasing distance. Sometimes the smartest choice is to start slow, and today proved that pacing myself was exactly what I needed. The run en...
