Saturday Nov 3 | ||
| walking 30:00 [1] 1.5 km (20:00 / km) | ||
| owie, my R foot & ankle sure hurt me today, was not gonna get "walked out" at all... oh well, it was nice in the rain to be out & about. Gonna do a complete rest/elevate/ice tonight & all of tomorrow, really cut back on walks next week, & play w/ G alot to exercise her instead. Also talked to D about renting a wheelchair/go-cart thingy for a month or sumthin, to help healing if foot doesn't correct in the next week or so, to start getting opinions about the whole concept...and hey, it may well be in the cards for the future anyways.
wouldnt be able to log those "walks" on Attackpoint tho, I'd hafta go back to lurking, heheheheheh. made keema tonight w/ added squash & potatoe cubes, it was really yummy. However, doing keema tonight means that my overall menu planning has been forcibly compressed next week to tofu-salmon-tofu-salmon. hmmmm.... | ||
| C • biking an option, or wouldn... 3 | ||
Friday Nov 2 | ||
| Note | ||
| gonna ice and elevate more today. Decided to massacre the rosemary plant to provide skewers a la Jamie Oliver for onion, pepper, zucchini & spicey italian sausage skewers - dunno how they will do in the oven rather than on grill, but we will see. Maybe a big crowd of handsome firefighters will join us for dinner...
Discovered last night cuz I've not been shaking the delsym suspension before decanting a tablespoon, I've been ingesting essentially placebos (clear orange syrup). Now the bottle is half empty, I'm down to the Supreme Motherlode of actual Delsym (fascinatingly... glittery orange syrup) which perhaps I should take half-doses of, since it is essentially double-strength. | ||
| walking 20:00 [1] 1 km (20:00 / km) | ||
| "around the block" loop...lazy day. and look at that taper !!! | ||
Thursday Nov 1 | ||
| walking 20:00 [1] 1 km (20:00 / km) | ||
| nice lunch (croque messieurs, tomato salad, grapes) w/ Belinda, afterwards walked out w/ her & G to inspect her cute new bright blue Kia Rio, then a truncated version of yesterday's walk, in reverse - feet/ankles hurting despite icing & elevation thus truncated. Met dog-walking lady for Dallice & Tiffany, may be good resource if D goes for new globe-trotting job & is away, pretty clear I couldn't manage all of G's walks every day while he was off in thailand and so on...lady is nice, knows dogs.
Off for mexican dinner & slideshow of travels in Africa tonight, how fun is that?! | ||
| walking 10:00 [1] 0.6 km (16:40 / km) | ||
| over to the train station & around about to get to dinner. | ||
Wednesday Oct 31 | ||
| Note | ||
| feeling like I have a fragment of spare energy these days. nnnnggnhggh.... | ||
| walking 30:00 [1] 1.4 km (21:26 / km) | ||
| went for a nice hour's walk w/ G to look at neighborhood pumpkins & other seasonal yard decorations - looks like it should be fun tonight. AND, my dumb foot didnt hurt, or only like normal !! how excellent is that!! On the way home a fuzzy lil fox-terrrier-like thing got away from his mom and beelined for G to try and beat the bejeezus out of her (some funky dominance issues there) which G took in stride quite well, but the lady's husband was really super-annoyed with the situation. Afterwards G does a sit for me, and is still just kinda staring at the other dog who is flailing around and frothing tryng to get at her from across the parking lot, kinda like "what is WRONG with you, Dog-Dude?! I'm Fabulous! why are you tryin' to bite me?!"
some kinda pasta tonight, maybe w/ scallops. | ||
| walking 15:00 [1] 0.75 km (20:00 / km) | ||
| went out w/ D & G to look at all the jack o' lanterns. Watched fireworks for an hour afterwards from our bedroom. I love halloween! | ||
Tuesday Oct 30 | ||
| walking 50:00 [1] 2.6 km (19:14 / km) | ||
| train stn & back for downtown banking, then a very leisurely excursion w/ G-dog to excavate some molehills I saw by the station that I thought she'd like, & she did. Met a humungous wolf-malamute cross named Montana who freaked G out pretty good - totally fascinated yet terrified. I was also pretty clear in my mind that Montana was not yer Normal Dog...fine manners, but...sumthin else there, definitely.
Me: "what a gorpeous dog!...um, IS it a dog?" Lady: " well, not totally." Gypsy: "aa-a-aaaahhhh!!! aaa-a-a-aaaahhh!!!" Traditional-style lamb curry tonight, crockpot wornders, smells great! | ||
| C • curry 3 | ||
Monday Oct 29 | ||
| walking 55:00 [1] 2.8 km (19:39 / km) | ||
| morning and afternoon walks, first more by the creek, second over by train tracks & the park. Saw some people in white plastic isolation suits picking thru the landscaping by Cortina, what was up with that? was a crime scene?
Sweet & spicey Thai tofu for dinner, also made a big apple-plum cobbler out of Sara's huge, gigantic apples from last night. yum. they are from her parents' apple trees in the Okanagan. | ||
Sunday Oct 28 | ||
| Note | ||
| sunday was a nice peaceful rest day for & then we had Gypsy's "birthday Party", where the humans ate corned beef, baked beans, southern-style greens, spicey baked squash, cornbread, wild-rice mix, & no-cal pecan tarts. The G unpacked a box w/ wrapped-up dog-biscuits & other treats in it by ripping it apart. | ||
