Dinner at a pirate bar yesterday and pirates on stilts on our last day in Quebec City. They have the tiniest feet on the stilts.

Do birds yawn?

September 10, 2015

That is my question of the day. I saw a seagull standing on the Rideau Canal wall this morning and it looked like he was yawning. Now I'm curious. I forgot to show you the shoes I wore yesterday. It was a fabulous shoe day. After an initial crack (and even I was a tad worried for a moment) my foot settled into the shoe and was quite happy for the entire day. We won't discuss how it felt last night....that's a secret between me and my Advil. Like the shoes say "my feet looked fabulous". Today's shoes are a favourite from our last Pointe Clair shopping adventure. You just have to love living in Canada. The weather was so different this morning than it was yesterday. Yesterday I was sweating 15 minutes into my ride to work and this morning it felt like there were icicles on my fingers. Lovely for biking though. So many pretty sights to see this morning as well. Seeing the hot air balloon in the sunrise was so pret...

Hospital to home comfort

August 14, 2015

I was pretty leary about only having freezing before they cut into my foot and because the needle was so huge but it wasn't too bad. Certainly not as bad as the cortisone shot I had a few months ago. I was even pushed into OR by the doctor. I told him I'm sure that's something he wasn't expecting to be doing at this stage in life. He has a pretty good sense of humor. There was some pretty good music playing in the OR which makes it a tad less scary. So we are all set to go after they cover me with a couple of blankets and sheets and wrap my foot in many towels (if thats to soak up the blood...yerks!) So much laundry for one foot. Then he says with sharp instrument in hand "we are going to test you now". What??? Stab me and see if I scream?? Well, there were no screams so that's a good start. There was a lot of pushing and digging or at least that's what it felt like from my end of the table. I said I was waiting for the sound of th...

Family reunion, support group meeting, conference???

August 12, 2015

There were so many ducks in the canal by Hog's Back this morning. They all congregated in this one part between the locks. I had a moment of fear that this meant something epic like the end of summer but maybe they are just having a family reunion...right?!?! Love how this guy gave us a show. Other items of note on my morning commute: it was a little chilly and damp this morning so I thought it wise to put on a t-shirt instead of my usual run top. Apparently a couple of guys didn't get the memo and went running without their shirts on. The first guy really should check himself out in the mirror before going out because his boobs...sorry, his pecks were moving up and down. It is kind of like watching an accident, you can't look away. The second guy was kind of boring after the first one. Sorry dude. Then there was the guy who passed me on his bike...don't they all...and he stood up to peddle faster ...
