Laura is coming over. I’m looking forward to that. So I got up , prayed and meditated, did stretches and walked Madigan. It had rained and the streets were wet. He didn’t poop. We returned. I thought a nap was indicated. I’d not had coffee yet. I’m trying to nap and he’s bringing me little toys to throw.
“I let you nap all through the day but when I go to nap you think it’s play time. Eventually he let up and had a five minute nap. I hadn’t any plans for today except to welcome Laura. When she arrives the whole issue of ‘what to do today’ is halved’. I have more adult human mind power to bring to the equation. I’d thought we’d go for a walk to the Brunette Lake and take pictures of the birds but with the rain that’s out, I thought maybe go to the symphony at night but she’s pretty laid back. I just like her naked or in lingerie so the weekends’ great if we have skin to skin contact.
After the nap though I had an epiphany. I could roast more Ethiopian coffee. That’s what I’m doing now. I finished off the bag of Sedona green beans and found I had a whole bin of Yirgacheffe under the seat. Now I’m roasted a week or two supply.
While doing that I took the eye vitamins, the Tumeric antiinflammatories, the baby aspirin, and had that with orange juice .I found the bag of psyllium husk powder under the bench so I put some of that in the organge juice. It’s supposed to improve digestion and bowel movements. I have yogurt or probiotics every day. My health is pretty good. I’m just overweight and my back is painful. It’s been improving. It’s all psychosomatic and if I lost 25 lbs or more my back would be so happy. It’s like I’m carrying a baby and all the pregnant women complain about back strain in their last month. When I look sideways in the mirror after a meal I wonder when I’m due.
Now I’m having coffee. I had one of the soft boiled eggs I made earlier this week. Laura must have sense I’ve a full fridge. I’d had a trip to Costco this week so have a lot of cold cuts. I’d picked up soups at Choices and this week knowing she was coming got some of the deli salads/. I’ve still got chicken and pork from the butcher but yesterday stopped by there after I dropped off my laundry to get some big steaks. Food is so expensive that this is a real treat. Thankfully Laura likes my barbecue so it’s a change from my primary fan. Madigan,
I booked a Chiropracter apt with Dr. Ready for Saturday morning after my doctor meeting.
Next week I’ll hinally have the Blue Ox hitch put on my Wrangler so I can tow it behind my Thor Motorhome I continue to struggle with the idea of what to do with the Harley Nightster Special and a the Vespa. Right now I’d like to sell the Harley .
I’ve been fearful with my back pain and decreased mobility. People are waiting a year for orthopedic surgery. I imagine crashing a motorcycle adn having a year weight for repair then another year for rehab. It doesn’t seem worth it to ride motorcycles now ‘at my age’. The consensus is I’m old enough to park the 2 wheels. I could have a two wheel folding electric bike to make runs to the market but frankly the jeep is sufficient. I like the idea of being able to attach the jeep to the Thor Motorhome and go. I’m glad that I’m reducing storange and license costs. I’m minimizing. I just don’t plan any more long distances road trips with the Harley especially when I can take my whole home and tow the jeep. I don’t even need the Vespa but it’s light enough to carry behind the Thor or on back of the jeep. It’s more useful in the city and less dangerous.
My first world problem,
Trump and Elon Musk and a dozen CEOs have just been meeting with Xi Jinping in trade talks and peace talks. It’s pretty amazing. I’m just so disappointed in Carney who’s been meeting with Soros and Obama. Yesterday’s man and all the climate change corruption continues and mass migration globalism dribbles on despite failure.
I met with Kevin Oh from TD on line to discuss investments. I’m doing okay bespite loans for Motorhome and now Jeep. If I sell my Harley I’d put the money on the Jeep loan. I have put money into the Tax Free Savings Accounts for future. I’m not planning retirement till 80 or 85. Meanwhile the money comes in and I continue to be of service. I sometimes wax poetic about the books I have to write and imagine fly fishing at the lake but I enjoy the clinic and am glad to help patients. I still know more than the average joe so though I’ m past y shelf life I don’t smell yet. I do like the idea of travelling with the motorhome.
This summer I’m hoping to go to the Okanagan or Nakusp for a few weeks.
I’m very thankful for my life now. It’s really blessed. I pray and meditated and wonder about the memories of the ‘hard tines’. All of the politics issues I see with Carney and Ottawa were what I encountered a decade or so ago when no one knew the taint was in. Now there’s a veritable back swell and I’m just glad I survived the psychopaths and sociopaths. I hope it’s clear sailing but I’ve been through the storms and did the right thing. Mostly . I’m pleased with God and make amends as I go. I’m glad to be sober. I was at the mens meeting this week and glad to sit at the table with my friends thankful for the spiritual life. I wouldn’t never have guessed this would be where I’d be. It’s good.
Laura just texted that her former boss died. We’re at the age where folk go. Lights flicking out on the wall while new ones light up. I ‘ve lived a good life of adventure and love. I have regrets which I don’t dwell on. Mostly related to my not being kinder to my parents and the ‘leaving home’ age. It’s so long ago and so much has passed. Marriages and the years of sailing and hunting and skiing., Lots of world travel. I wonder about doing more I don’t know really . Right now I’m facing the culmination of a dream, attaching the jeep to the motorhome and being free to roam.
Thank you Jesus. Thank you God. Thank you Holy Spirit
