Trying to catch up a little on many things, blogging included:
- t! finished his contract working in Montreal, and started a new one working from home. Schedules & stuff are a little up-in-the-air as a result. Having someone else walk the dog most afternoons is awesome.
- My dad had surgery to implant a feeding tube because he could no longer reliably swallow his food. The surgery went really well, and he’s doing OK.
- t! and I are both jogging regularly. t! does 10k almost every day, and I’m currently doing 4k on a 4-days-on, 1-day-off schedule. My plan is to gradually increase until I can reliably do a 5k run most days.
- The chickens are doing well. One died unexpectedly, but it was one of the smallest ones, so we’re thinking it might have had some kind of congenital defect that caught up with it. All the others are healthy and active and really enjoying spending lots of time out in their outdoor run. We will start butchering the extra roosters quite soon.
- I’ve started Karate classes again, after a long (4 years?) hiatus. The local club trains Thursday nights in a high school gym that’s a 10-minute drive from here. It’s an informal class with a fun atmosphere. There are 4 black-belt instructors who rotate teaching.
- Carter is pretty much recovered from his broken leg, he still favours it a little late at night when he’s tired, but he comes jogging with me fairly regularly, and that doesn’t seem to bother him at all.
- t!’s band Invisible rocked Clyde’s on Saturday night
- I went to the Akwesasne International Pow Wow on Sunday and had a wonderful time.
There will be more posts about the chickens, and quilting, and other things, forthcoming.
