Aril27-29,2025 A new week and a good few days for sure

today was a very good productive day. Some major problems fixed, weather much nicer or at least warmer than it has been. More or less sunny periods but also lots of threatening clouds. Rain finally dropping down from the sky but it's so much better than the snow of not to long ago. Tomorrow is apparently going up to 20 degrees C tomorrow with lots of Sun. I'll believe it when I feel it and out bombing around on my Scooter finally. I have good talks on the phone and on FB with some friends and some family which always raises my spirits. Tested out Skype with my son and all is finally up and working great for me. A good nice, happy and joyful day. I hope this continues again tomorrow. I like it so much when things get fixed and working again. A real boost to my emotional side for sure. Was outta here by 9am this morning on my Scooter. What a nice beautiful sunny and warm day. It was so refreshing and beautiful to finally be out cruising with my IPOD blasting away in my Ears with Great tunes. I finally got to get some much needed grocery shopping done which allows me to really feel my total independence. Sot out on my patio pretty much the rest of the afternoon and chatted with my neighbor's daughter. She is really nice and we seem to have an ease with each other. He kids (4 & 8) were over while their mom and uncle finished packing their father apartment (he passed away a couple of weeks ago). It was really nice and fun chatting with the kids and introducing them to Rocky. Even Rocky enjoyed all the petting he was getting from them and purred loudly which the Kid liked a lot to. Dad saw the specialist today and will have to have a colonoscopy next to just make sure it's nothing more than his body falling apart or if it might be something more serious. I'm sure it's just his aged body slowly breaking down. It's just one thing after another all the time now and it's so say to watch them breaking down with old age. All I can say about Wed afternoon is: WHAT A GORGOUS DAY. My deceased neighbors daughter was here early this morning so the movers could move his things out of the Residence. Probably will never see her or her brother again which is kind of sad. I really enjoyed talking with her and her young children. She was so rushed to go when the movers left I comply forgot to tell he how much I`d enjoyed talking with her. I feel really bad about that. Then after a good lunch I hopped on my, sunglasses, favourite hat plopped on my head and tunes blasting great music in my ears. I found all the trails by memory and headed for the Baver pond and then took the trai all the way around this huge pond and marsh land before finding my was back. Only got stuck once which require a lot of pushing and pulling my scooter out of a deep rut I got stuck in and of course falling and rolling on the near sliff bur I didn`t and no damage to my `freedom Mobile`. Phew!! My soul is flying high after the hour long excursion. I sang loudly and very poorly but I just didn`t care and Let my arms fly in the wind above me. I am extremely grateful for this beautiful weather which finally allowed me to achieve what I have been wanting to do since arriving here in Ottawa. I HAVE TO RECORD THE FOLLOWING SO I`LL NEVER FORGET THIS INCREDIBLE AFTERNOON of tripping down memory lane and being so free for the first time since last fall. I heated out and found my way to the beaver pond. A place way out in the woods we'd hike to in the dead of winter after school with hockey stick & skates flung over one shoulder and shovels over the other to be 'Beaver pond/marshes'. we'd shovel of a big section then play hockey until near darkness, take the skates off and put very cold boots on and make a mad dash homeward for supper Got the idea of it's importance? Well now it is surrounded by mega houses and streets but a wide patch around it full of trees and a huge and nature trail surrounds this very long marsh and water. It's home to Geese, ducks, all kinds of birds. and small animals. So I headed out from here in search of all the trails to see if I could remember how to get there. Well I did and began my journey all around it. Absolutely beautiful. Sung at the top of my lungs to great tunes on my IPod, Holding arms high above my head. Only saw a few joggers and a couple of walkers while I meandered my way around. Really beautiful being last in the forest. So peaceful and happy this made me feel. My soul was so nourished with this long awaited excursion Kris. I only got my scooter stuck in a very narrow gully and had to get off and put it in manual to try and push and pull it out. Of course I lost my balance and awkwardly feel to the ground, and while trying to get back up feel again and then rolled a bit toward the semi-cliff before I could get myself stopped. Crawled back to scooter to pull myself up Hopped on and took off again. The freedom I was feeling and total independence and reliability on myself made my soul soar even higher. Headed back, Parked at the front doors and went marking in to sign back into the place. I was asked how it was and just had to do a little happy dance with my arms high above my head saying 'FANTABOULOS' to the laughing receptionist. can u tell how wonderful it was. I love these natural highs Kris. Hope you and Jack continue with your 'blast' and get all that mulch spread around. Catch up with u later . ...
