Journal - Burnaby - Remembrance Day

I only registered today was a holiday when I sat at my computer and saw Mary Lou the Clinic administrator had cancelled my patients.  In their stead wass the word Remembrance Day.  

I  bought a poppy last week at Lougheed Mall and have worn it a few days.  I’ve not been as observing as I have been in previous years.  

I called a couple of patients to refill prescriptions. Then I texted Laura to say good morning and tell her I didn’t know what to do now. I’d already walked Madigan and had coffee.  I tried to sit down on the couch and have another cup of coffee but I spilt it on the floor.  Cleaning it up I decided I’d do the storage locker run. I had a few bags of clothing and ‘stuff’ from the camper along with some boxes of ammo that hadn’t yet made it out of this Thor. I’m going to be crossing the border next month and am sanitizing my home.

It’s an expedition.  I

I’ve just changed my diamond earring and gold chains to my amber earrings and silver chain.  

I cleaned and organized my spice cabinet.  I need to do the same to the cabinets in the ‘head’ . I’ve been transferring and reducing items from my previous 5th wheel and now the camper. I’m also moving things from the storage locker back and forth. 

I’m pleased that I mostly took stuff to the storage locker. I can plan to reduce especially  with seasonal clothes only to exchange for and equal load.  I was glad to find my life jacket so won’t have to buy a new one when my inflatable angling kayak arrives.

I’ve been working on this coffee while journalling.

I’m grateful for the holiday.  I’ve been pleased to do some organization and cleaning/. The cleaning ladies came yesterday for an hour so the  baseline is done and it’s encouraged me to organize cupboards.  I’m loving my Thor.  All the living advantages of my ship but easier. I have tools and such in the storage lockers underneath and one day will got through those and minimize too. I’m surge I’ve got several wrenches of each size and a couple of drills.  I’ve keep thinking of making another wooden ‘box’ here.  I enjoyed making those in my apartments decades back.  That’s on the list with fishing.  

Thank you God for air and color.  Thank you for Love. Thank you for sensations.  Thank you for vision and hearing smell. Thank you for this world. Thank you for physics and chemistry. Thank you for biology and anthropology and psychiatry.  Thank you for my training and knowledge. Thank you for my skills.  Thank you for family and friends.  

I took Madigan to his off leash dog park today.  No friends but he left messages again.  Yesterday we walked the river trail an saw the fish still swimming to spawn. Much fewer. The run must be neiarly over.
