Training Log Archive: Yukon King

wild & restless today, tired of recording hurt foot & wimpy small walks, maybe take a break. In mood of willing to try to chew my limbs off to escape leg-hold trap of my body. But, it wouldn't work. I will clean the entire house instead to simulate control of life - some people get tattoos to try to control body/life, some clean house. Cleaning house is cheaper.

over to train stn, downtown for banking & coffee w Robin, New West for fun w medical profession, home, then dog-walk in chilly rain over to creek & down the woodland path a bit, then home. Towelled off dog, rested, foot hurts, get tea, get ice, read about Denali, St Elias/Wrangell, & Kluane parks. Malaysian-style curried tofu for dinner along with some gratineed squash from last night.

really frigid out (went to corner grocery) so for dogwalk put on two coats, gloves, scarf, & doofus-hat. Down to new display for Green (messed in new landscaping dirt & played w/ empty coffee cup), along parkway, met a cool husky named Tundra & she & G played like crazy. Recipe for roasted multi-colored peppers & pork from Four Ingredient cookbook, roasted squash, broc, grapes, brown rice. Accepted enbrel protocol, lotsa paperwork, xrays etc. Still icing (overall feet/ankles veyr complainy, also hips, probably mechanical compensation stuff) but overall the acute joint seems to be mellowing out, so progress is being made.

Moroccan lamb in the crock pot; cumin, cinnamon, onions, apricots? Also Xrays & other thingies in New West. Sunny today, looking forward to dog-walk already!

over to the park along the train tracks, sunny after the monster storm. Met Bao and ran around w him for a bit, spent longer than I was expecting out, but it was worth it. on the way there we saw a cigarette butt smoking away on the sidewalk, G-dog was kinda freaked & did a crazy aggression-dance around it, then sniffed it, then I stomped it to death to show we were the dominant ones, and G-dog sneezed up a storm cuz of the nasty smoke in her nose. So kids, listen to Gypsy -
Gypsy - "Kids, stay away from those cigarettes, they are really nasty, even worse-smelling than Other Dogs' Poo !! Yuck!!"

more icing. Big Winds since yesterday afternoon, still going strong. D & G saw a fallen tree across the bikepath by the creek. Going to work out the vegan spinach-walnut-mushroom ravioli today, a touch of nutmeg & sesame oil? Then feed them to Dennis, bwaaahahaha! For Dutch Christmas in Sidney, serve two different ways w a basil pesto and a fresh tomato sauce (green and red, see?), should be nice.

around the block loop in roaring wind and glimpses of sun. Old holly trees all glowing red berries. Even sat out for a bit - I could do that cuz I had three coats on.

iced and rested thanks to great husband. adapted a duck recipe for two organic chicken legs, turned out quite nice, except D really doesnt like even the little hint of red wine that goes in there, tastes sour to him. Maybe I'll revisit some of these french recipes and just leave it out & see what he thinks then.
Finished Last Unicorn, started some John Muir & a Cadfael novel. Also worked out a tentative itinerary to Laramie for next August, if we go. D can do one day at the NW fest before we have to get driving again for SE WY for the last 3 days of their week of O.
