Dec.27 walking

 Bryan and I met for a walk


A good walk, a bit chilly for me, I thought but it’s a few days til January the cold outcomes of weather.

I gifted Bryan a power bar we were not using and he gave me a tims card for it.

I had a great 😊 time. I would have stopped for coffee but I think I’ve had enough coffee for today.

Tomorrow I go back to work, and enjoy 😊 my last day off. Work rotation is five days in a row.

Although i did get Christmas 🎄 off this was the first walk Dixie had I think besides an evening walk in Christmas Day cause she was stir crazy 😜.

For my time off, it was good 😊.

A bit jealous of Kim getting ten days.  And other people getting a bit extra time off. But I think I’m going to take some time off once they hire more people. After the holidays in retail is a hard sell for time off.

So I guess I’m working it.

Yah me.


Many Canadian geese in the open water 💦 of the river.

Flying over and on the shore in the river.

Bryan goes must he eating fish 🐠.

They could be, fish might be sleepy this time of year.

We did half a lap today, and enjoyed our time. One jogger and dog ran past us. That’s dedication, I couldn’t run 🏃‍♂️ at this time of my life. But walking for 30 minutes is great 😊.

I am working over new years so that’ll be good 😊.

Keeps me out of trouble and extra cash in my pocket.

I would like to spend it with Kim. We never really got to play a game of cards 🃏 over the holidays. That would have been nice.

Or for a couple night of cards. Seems many people are stuck with colds over the holidays.

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...
