Plus 4 in November going to plus 8

By

 Yesterday was plus 14 Celsius 


We get walking see the crystal water 💧 in the pond.


It sounds like we both had a lovely time out in the park today! Walking by the crystal water in the pond and seeing geese must have been a beautiful experience. It's always nice to enjoy the outdoors and connect with nature.


A wonderful time out seeing many geese 🪿 around in the open water 

💧 




We had a fun time we walked around said hello to two maybe three people in passing.

Dixie all but behaved til a 104 lb black lab came up. A doppelgänger of her except twice the size.

She had a melt down for some reason.

I don’t know if it’s cause I got on the opposite side of her and the other dog to grouch my garbage 🗑️ in the bin.  But she had a melt down.


Sorry 😞 to hear that Dixie had a meltdown when she encountered the black lab. Sometimes dogs can become anxious or reactive in certain situations, so it's important to monitor their behavior and ensure their safety. It's possible that the change in environment or the presence of the other dog triggered her reaction.



Bryan and I also done out of the walk in the park.

Stop for one last photo before we exit the pond area.

We walked for 12 minutes in the pond area and maybe 15 minutes out of the pond area to get to it.


As we enter the sun ridge park and get walking. Wind was blowing but it was nice. Still a great 😊 day to be out in the park for November.


We take a few photos at the bridge 🌉 cause it’s a neat part of the park.


Bryan accompanied me on my walk

And he didn’t mind that I was taking photos every few minutes while we walked the park. A twelve minute walk and I took maybe a dozen photos. A photo ever minute.


We had a great time, Bryan is not drinking coffee obit I was sipping my coffee with lions main mushrooms 🍄 and MCT powder in it.

It's great that Bryan accompanied me on our walk and didn't mind you taking photos along the way. Capturing memories through photography can be a wonderful way to preserve those special moments.




No icy 🥶 walking 🚶‍♀️ yet, hopefully it cools down before it snows. So we’re not stuck with a month or two of icy roads.


As for the weather, it's good that the wind was blowing but the day was still enjoyable. Let's hope that the temperature cools down before it snows so that you can avoid icy roads. Remember to stay safe and take necessary precautions while walking during winter months.





This is what our walk looked like 👍 off my stats.  Yet I only tracked it in the park.  We did do another 15-20 minutes walking to get there.

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 ...

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 wa...

The Weekend Cleanse: DIY Air, Lights, & Elbow Grease

  The week's tasks entailed Clean oxygen is like I'm an aerospace engineering  💨 Clean Air on a Budget: Meet the Corsi-Rosenthal Box After an epic cleaning session indoors and out, I'm taking the pursuit of a healthy home to the next level! I just finished building my very own Corsi-Rosenthal Box (CR Box), a DIY air purifier designed to significantly improve indoor air quality for a fraction of the cost of commercial units. I'm hoping this will be a game-changer, especially for controlling pet dander, those pesky dust and dog mites, and general pet odor. The construction took about half an hour of focused effort (after waiting a week for all the parts to arrive), and I'm really proud of how it turned out. The best part? The total cost of the fan and high-efficiency filters is roughly one-third the price of my existing, single-filter Rabbit Air unit. It delivers similar powerful air cleaning capacity or I figure it's way better at doing the job witho...

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...

Built to Last: 436 Reps, One Dog, and a Clear Mind

  Today was a full-body kind of day—the kind that leaves you feeling strong, clear-headed, and quietly proud. I started with two weight sessions totaling 68 minutes and 46 sets, pushing through each rep with focus and intention. My doctor recently recommended two to three strength workouts per week, and I’m already ahead of the curve. After the weights, Dixie and I hit the pavement for a 5 km run. She kept pace beautifully, and I could feel the rhythm of the day settling into my stride. The energy didn’t stop there. I rolled that momentum into a deep clean of the house—vacuuming the night before, then mopping floors, scrubbing toilets and sinks, and picking up scattered papers. There’s something grounding about tending to your space after tending to your body. It’s like syncing the inside with the outside, clearing clutter both physical and mental. I didn’t rush it; I moved with purpose, letting the satisfaction build with each task. I’m feeling good—really good. The ...
