Cleaned couch πŸ›‹️

 This spring the couch looked like this.

 So today I vacuumed and kitchen, entryway, and office.  I also mopped the office and kitchen and entry way with Lysol floor cleaning bottle.  And a water vacuum to keep the dog hair mites out of the house 🏑 and flying about out of the vacuum.  The water vacuum has a hepa filter and I also vacuumed out my other hepa filter with my rabbit air filter minus2.

It’s working a lot better now, and just prepping to rearrange the house 🏑 thanks to Bryan for helping me move a couch πŸ›‹️ in the house 🏑 August.7th at 8 pm at night.  They guy was helpful coming over to help me move it so late ⏰.



My last dog, Finn would sleep on the couch after a walks out in a wet field in mud and long grass. You were just dry off on the couch till they could come back inside or get some time to get wiped down.

He sort of ruined the couch πŸ›‹️ by couldn’t get rid of it because that was my first purchase from quitting smoking in 2007.  
Has quit smoking for six months and I bought a couch from Leon’s, as I was building houses in Construction. 🦺 
It really was my first piece of furniture I bought, Living on my own.

Kim and I cleaned it and finally put it in the office, and it looks like a new couch πŸ›‹️.  Well it’s newer now that it’s been cleaned 🧹.


A complete change from what it did look like, so it’s a huge success.  We think we could bring back couches from instinction to brand new as a business.  As long as it doesn’t have bed bugs.

But it’s just been a hugely recover process for the couch.  A second chance you could say.  Looks amazing though a good change.  Just took some work to do and people have said it’s surprisingly good 😊.  Looks way better and usually people don’t put in work to restore there stuff.


It made a special project for sure πŸ‘ 

I find it hard to see it back in the house after being in garage then the shed then garage to clean up. It’s been a rough start for the couch but a second life for it now.


It sounds like you've been through quite a journey with your couch! It's great to hear that you were able to clean it up and give it a new life, especially since it holds such sentimental value for you. It’s not just a piece of furniture; it represents a significant milestone in your life, like quitting smoking and living on your own.


It’s amazing how much a bit of cleaning and effort can transform something that seemed ruined into something that looks brand new again. Your idea of potentially turning this restoration experience into a business is intriguing! Bringing old couches back to life for others could be a unique niche, especially if you focus on quality cleaning and restoration.


Do you have any specific plans for your couch now that it's all cleaned up, or perhaps for the restoration business idea?

It’s in the office now, and I’m having a hard time leaving it to go back to bed.  πŸ›Œ it’s just restored, in my mind which I’m having lots of feelings and emotions about it. I didn’t think it’d be back in the house, honestly.

Plus 4 Celsius 6.1 km in a hour πŸƒ‍♂️

  Dixie and I go for a run  πŸƒ‍♂️ Dixie and I go for a run, redo a hill run down and up again. Kim picks me up after I climb the hill, I called her and asked since I was over my hour mark, originally I wanted to do 9 km in an hour but I managed to do six km instead.  I think it was the hill climb that did it.  I ran fully down hill no problem 😌 We made good time.  For a hill run πŸƒ‍♂️   It looks like it will be 13 Celsius by noon but it feels warmer in the sun. ☀️  I took a picture by the usual spot that judge where the river is from other years and with that rain the last couple days it definitely looks a lot better than what it was a few weeks ago Dixie went off leash for a bit and went to the river. Must’ve been cold. I think for April water dip. I managed to bring my VO2 max up to good 😊 today, it’s the first time I’ve put it in the green since owning my second Garmin. So my goal right now is to get an endurance score over 5099 To move past ...

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...

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...
