Monday through Wednesday, I’ve trudged along the streets of Edmonton to get myself home from work. Each day, sucking in the fumes of the passing cars and trucks, but not enough fumes to stop me from feeling smug and superior that I am relying on my own sticks to get me home. Haven’t been writing…
Yes I’ve Been Walking
… but busy in between times. Happy to report our walk today was down at Hawrelak Park, a nice change from the neighbourhood. We are always delighted with the quacking of the ducks. Sounds like they share a private joke. The geese population is flourishing, and obviously they like it here because I’m sure they…
Channelling Julia Child
Feeling a bit energetic today, I made Boeuf Bourguignon for dinner (as well as cupcakes), which is an all-day affair I tell you. I cooked. I baked. I cleaned. I cleaned again. Can’t wait for the hubster to get home and enjoy this feast I made for us. I am imbibing in some wine. The…
Radar Tower
Michael took this shot with his cell phone camera. Back on Vancouver Island, we climbed to the top of a small mountain, and this tower was our destination. Here’s the proof!
Sicko on the Move
After a day on the couch, the bed, couch, bed, computer chair, couch, bed, couch, Michael took me on a single block walk this evening. Nice to get fresh air, but I still feel like shit.
Bah!
I’m putting up a temporary “closed” sign for this blog. I’ve come down with a bug, and just want to sleep. So off I go to wallow in self-pity.
Monday
A day in the clouds. Started with acupuncture, followed by a meditation, followed by reading a book, followed by making turkey stock, followed by a nap. Feel a bit zoned out. Regardless. Went for a walk with hubby through the ‘hood this evening, and now I’m just trying to stay awake for my volunteer shift…
Sunday in Edmonton
It’s grey and dusty here, and I’m a bit grumpy to be an Albertan. I’m mad at my new Time Machine because it’s not as intuitive as the other Apple pieces I own. Onto happier news, we went to Ikea (a 20 minute journey that probably cost $5.00 is gasoline) to buy a new $2.00…
Last Day in YYJ
It’s pouring rain this morning here in Victoria, and we are still determined to get our dose of the gardens in before we come home. Michael and I are undeterred by rain… we have proper clothing and our brollies, so we should get a good last walk in before we go. Writing in advance of…
Hiking Climbing and Other Stuff
We found a great walking path yesterday, that took us to the top of a smallish mountain. Wonderful views, but of course I didn’t have my camera to document. We then zipped off to the “Centre of the Universe” which was closed, but this time I did have my camera! We went to the Butchart…
