So this evening I took a 10K Pokemon GO walk. My goal initially was just to hatch my 5K egg, but then I figured why not hatch a second one, instead of just the first such egg and then I kept walking to get home. The downside of this, is that I was wearing my new shoes... but oh well. And I figured that what with Extra Life (please donate to help ( Read more... )

Which isn't really a good start to the month. But really, life is busy and I do have a hard time slowing down. At least if I'm busy lately it's partially an active kind of busy what with gym outings at least once a month with Jon and quite a lot of Pokemon GO walking (today was the end of their first event ever: Halloween week, and I'd say on the ( Read more... )

... with the noteworthy exception of November 7th when I was doing Extra Life. Blogging mored has meant a better focus on some aspects of my life, but also the redevelopment of a good habit. There's certainly no guarantee or plan for me to write quite as much in the other months of the year, but it was and is a good exercise I've taken part in ( Read more... )

I figured I ought to make a list of ten things that make me happy. I wonder if I can actually come up with ten. In no particular order ( Read more... )

... I figured I had best write at least one blog post prior to that point. I'm not sure that I'll reach 100% success at writing a blog post every day for the month of November (especially since I'm planning on doing Extra Life this year on November 7th and I strongly suspect that that will mean I won't blog much if at all that day specifically), ( Read more... )

This morning I awoke after nearly 10 hours of sleep (okay I was tired, my Kiwanis Slide shift yesterday tuckered me out more than I expected. But such is K-days and the fun of kids and adults enthusiastically conquering the stairs to slide down on the coffee sacks and run back to do it all over again. I still haven't slid down that slide yet this ( Read more... )

Because the world is filled with all too much negativity, I figured now was a good time to post about good things. And I would like to hope that I will do this every so often online, because gosh people sometimes need a ray of sunshine to brighten their days, online or otherwise ( Read more... )

So Timothy Caulfield's great book The Cure for Everything is quite the engaging read! I'm finished the third of 5 main chapters now and well it's already encouraged me to buy the wonderfully colourful vegetables I bought last night to make stirfry for lunches this week and to move my body more... yes exercise. I decided to do some dumbell exercises ( Read more... )

So life continues to be busy this September, but partially since Laury had a week off from work, this past week was a marvelous balance of productivity (as I get used to my gamification routine while at home) and fun and games (literally! I love board games etc ( Read more... )
