That’s one tired dog!

by

Our Lab puppy Midnight got a lot of exercise today. Chris took her out to the park not just once, but three times! He also took her for at least three walks.

She’s pooped!

Midnight is so tired that she actually put herself to bed. She went into her crate at about 11 pm and she’s been lying in her doggy bed ever since. She almost never goes to bed until my husband heads for bed … then I usually take her outside to do her business, give her a cookie and then off to her crate she goes.

To go to bed without her cookie? That’s almost unheard of!





Open Doors Toronto

by

I just realized that this weekend is “Open Doors Toronto” weekend. Geez … already missed a day too.

Yesterday, while Chris and I were watching the news we saw a story about Open Doors Toronto. Open Doors is when many of the historic buildings in Toronto or places of interest open their doors free of charge so that people can tour the buildings or sites. You get to see places that are almost never open to the public. It’s quite interesting.

There’s a very old house on Queen Street with a historic Toronto Garden. The last time we participated in Open Doors Toronto it was in the little travel guide they put in the newspaper and we went to see the house and garden. They’ve maintained the garden as it was when the original owners of the home first created the garden. There’s old roses there that I’ve never seen anywhere else.

Well it’s supposed to be very nice tomorrow, so along with getting some of my own gardening done, we’ll probably try to see some of the sites that are participating in this years Open Doors Toronto.

If you’re in the Toronto area have you been to Open Doors before?

Foiled by the weather

by

It rained yesterday and into the evening. Our plans ended up being foiled … yes … ruined.

Do you remember that I mentioned we were supposed to get together with friends on Sunday evening for some fireworks to celebrate our Victoria day weekend? Uh huh …. well that didn’t work out.

I’m a trooper though. I really thought we’d still go out even though it was lightly drizzling. I got dressed up to go out for dinner with our friends – designer jewelry and all, and then, when our dinner was finished and we were about to go to the fireworks it started to pour outside!

Fireworks get canceled when it rains so hard that the rain drops are bouncing off the pavement.

Oh well … we still have a chance to go to see fireworks this evening. We might watch them from the beach if it’s nice enough out.

I lost a few pounds

by

Hey, I think I lost some weight. Remember I said that I’d gained a little bit of weight lately due to being so sick and not moving around as much? Yes, thank you Crohn’s disease – not.

I don’t weigh myself. One of my doctors weighs me regularly and that’s enough for me. I’ve always had a fear of the scales – even when I was a major bean pole.

I have noticed over the last week or so that my pants and other clothing seems loser. So yeah, I’ll take that as proof that I’ve lost a bit of weight.

I don’t eat much thanks to the Crohn’s disease. Inactivity is my main problem since I feel so awful most of the time. I guess I have been more active over the last few weeks thanks to Spring having arrived. I’ve been out in the garden tidying it up and walking the dog a little more often. It must be working.

I want to be back in shape by the time the hot weather gets here. Heck, I even considered trying Orovo but I’m not much for taking pills to boost my energy. Its the pain that’s the real problem. If I could get rid of that I’d be back to my old self in no time at all.

Anyone else trying to lose a few pounds by dieting or increasing your activity levels?
