Fire Jan 17 back yard clean up

 Back yard clean up.

I'm picking up dog dirt and ask Bryan if he wants to help.  

🔥 By the fire 😂.


I get by the fire 🔥 and make some mango 🥭 summer tea. But it's hot.  I got it from a Christmas raffle at ability resource center.


It's a nice tea.  Were by the fire 🔥.

This morning we go hang out with a group for coffee and social.

We socialize for about an hour and a half and then I get to another thing.

I managed to book off time off work for an appointment next week.  Which is a good thing.

Before my upcoming shift that would get scheduled.


Coming home

I come up to have a fire 🔥 and pick up frozen dog 🐕 dirt.  It's better when it's frozen.

I'm guessing there's going to be two bags full when I'm done.


I told Bryan if I bought him breakfast 🥐 I'd be disappointed if he never picked dog dirt up.  But it turns out we never had enough plastic bags. Lucky him.

I guess he did come and help me take back the bottles, ☺️ so I did buy him breakfast for helping.




Here I am half way done going to another bag. But I'm drinking my tea.  I washed my hands before steeping the tea and took a break from dog dirt duty.

Time to put more wood on the 🔥 💯

Kim and I got more some money today 

We took the bottles back and got $50.


Might take her for dinner.


Bryan and I did end up going to little Ceasar pizza 🍕 afterward.  Which I spilt my pop all over me.  Dixie went into full melt down driving. Barking at everyone. Which bugged me.  I even tried to smack her she bugged me so bad.


In the end I got two bags of dog dirt 

The rest I guess is frozen in the ground.  That's alot of dog dirt.

Finally most the snow disappears so it's easier to get out so it saves the spring cleanup.

Way better when the snow disappears.

Saves the back from an hour-long job to like a half an hour job two times over winter.




After picking up poop 💩 I wondered what ever happened to the white poop.


Over all we had a good Day 🤠☺️.
  • We went to McDonald's and got a sausage an egg McMuffin so did the dog 🐕 with hash brown.
  • Took the bottles back $$$.(I saved the cash to spend with Kim)
  • Went for social coffee with a bunch of people.
  • Cleaned back yard 
  • Have fire 🔥
  • Chop wood
  • And little Ceasars.
  • And the dog for a car ride for most of it.
I'd say a good day so far.

Now waiting for Kim to get home 🏠🙂 and hear about her day 🤠.

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

By
  🎉 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

By
 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

By
 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...
