Another day of 5 km

 



My dad and I do another 5 km took about an hour.  I really enjoy my dad‘s company. He’s a pleasure to be around. And again, I didn’t start my tracker till I got into the park 20 minutes until the walk. I keep forgetting to start it when I leave such as life.


I gotta talk to him about my day about how I got off Facebook.

That Facebook isn’t providing a free service, I may go on to post things to friends or look at friends profiles, but that’s not why I’m on there.

I’m on there to doom scroll, πŸ“œ 

They sell me advertisements on dopamine vid-hit, TikTok Instagram videos. I didn’t know what I’m gonna buy, and I’m not gonna buy like I may go on to look at friends or post things but that’s not the four or five hours I spend a day on my device that my screen time is telling me that I’m putting into this app.

Sure I’m losing a lot of connections defriending a lot of people that’s the main reason why I kept on going back on. It has nothing to do. I was upset with nobody on there. All my friends are on there doing great things there, for me it’s for time management.

Saw my time management that I was spending on friends but on videos I just saw automatically go scrolling through.

So inspired my dad to delete the YouTube app that’s another devil and its own.

But noticed there so many more better online social platforms that I could be on they are way more healthier for me than Facebook.


It sounds like I’ve made a thoughtful decision to step away from Facebook. Taking a break from social media can be a positive choice for many reasons. Goodreads, LinkedIn, and Steam can offer a different kind of interaction and engagement compared to Facebook.


The dog πŸ• enjoyed her time,  


We see the young deer out and all together,

They seem to stick together.

We did get a skunk the other day, and the dog did touch noses with it till I called it back in a panic but You could smell it in the front and back multiple times these last past weeks in the day the dog didn’t get sprayed.

Thank God.

I think it’s in under the deck but I’m not sure the next-door neighbours on both sides have cats or kittens, so I’m wondering if there’s kitty food outside I bet there is.

I do know they are moving a lot more right now because they’re looking for a mate. That’s between February and April and then May and June is when the kin come out.  So they are moving around, looking around and finding food way more than these months than others so hopefully it dissipates To where the food sources is.

It’s not the only spot that are feeding the animals when I was walking in the neighbourhood for work you’d see pails of grain And sometimes it would be covered and sometimes it won’t be, but there would always be a big pile of grain on the ground now, if that’s for the rodents or for birds, they probably excuses for birds, but I know for a fact the deer are eating it.

So I wonder why they’re in the neighbourhood people are feeding all the wildlife in the neighbourhood.

So, even if I did trap the skunk, there would be another one coming nothing I can do about it but it’s gonna be in the neighbours yards for the food access.

It sounds like you had a nice time with your dad and dog on your walk, and it's great that you're making thoughtful decisions about your social media use. Taking a break from platforms that don't serve you well can be very beneficial for your mental well-being.


Regarding the skunk issue, it's probably a good idea to keep an eye on your surroundings and maybe try to figure out why they are attracted to the area. If your neighbors are leaving out food for animals, it could be one reason the skunks are around. You're right that even if you were to trap one, more might come if the food source is still there.

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...

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...

Plus 12 Celsius Smoke run πŸƒ‍♂️

  The dog and I decided to do either a 3 km run or a 6 km run or 9 km run hoping for 10 km but I couldn’t find the energy to push further. It is smoky out there you could smell it and breath it in. Made me in my threshold if I keep a higher pace than 9 minutes km Cooler morning,  I went and got a sausage homestyle biscuit from Tim’s and an ice coffee ☕️  Just getting my day started. I got a doctors appointment later today over the phone πŸ“ž also. Hoping to take the dog πŸ• for a run πŸƒ‍♂️ this morning but I’m stiff. So hopefully my coffee stop warms me up to get moving this morning. Or just caffeinates me. We managed to do 6.05 km in about 59 minutes. A high heart rate of 172 bpm and an average of 144 bpm. Plus 12 Celsius while I ran but I was in full sweating πŸ˜… by the time I got home 🏑. The last couple weeks I’ve had a low relative effort due to some family losses. But I manage to get out on a smoky day like today for a run. πŸƒ‍♂️  It’s been raining heavily the last...
