Labour Day Weekend or where is my Fitbit

Well here it is the Labour Day Weekend - fall is just around the corner, school starts on Tuesday, and all it all it is the wrap up to the summer. We decided not to go anywhere and that's okay - I think we are best to be in a saving mode right now.

Friday was my ETO so I had the day off which was cool. I dropped Marla off at the clinic and then headed down to the ocean for a long walk with Precious. Damn I left my FitBit at home. This was kind of our usual walk except that instead of stopping at the breakwater after a stroll from Clover Point we went all along Niagra Street to Beacon Hill Park. It was a great walk.

Marla and I went out for lunch at Sauce. I wasn't all that hungry so I just had a bowl of chowder which was pretty good. I still do not eat a lot, usually about a half a cup and sometimes 3/4 cups. I may be eating a bit too much because I will have a meal of some kind every four or five hours. That is likely one more than a normal person but the meals are pretty small.

Lunch was good and really nice company with Marla. It is great how we can share time together. We then went over to Capital Iron and Value Village to continue our shopping quest for Tim Horton mugs. But midweek at Capital Iron all the parking places are rented out so it became such a pain in the rear we chose to go home. But first we had a stop to make a Walmart for some necessities. Milk and cream for sure but also I wanted some Ensure and my current addiction - BBQ Peanuts. I know the peanuts have to be bad for me because they taste way too good. Still I eat only a few.

The strange thing was when we took the stuff through the till the clerk missed checking about four items and when we got home we found we were missing the Ensure, Marla's Bread, some Jam and some other stuff. We that discovery we decided to stay home for the night.

Saturday - Saturday is always a morning walk with Christopher and Precious. I really like this time but Damn I forgot my fitbit. It was the usual walk and it was great outside. Afterwards I went to the WLS meeting. Boy I wish more people would come to it. There is so much that can be offered to those who partake.

In the afternoon we went out to GreekFest. I like GreekFest, the multicultural dances, the hot weather, a glass of cider and of course Greek food. I wasn't sure what I could eat but they had skewered pork and that was perfect for me. I had a great time and Marla tolerated me. It is one of those things I am sure she does for me and so it is nice and appreciated.

Sunday - the traditional Labour Day Saskatchewan Roughriders/Winnipeg Blue Bombers trip. Now the riders have not been doing so good but I can still hope and my wishes came through. The Roughriders came alive and won 52 to nothing. I was doing a happy dance. Well Precious does the happy dance - We dance after every touchdown.

Monday - I was up early to make up for missing my walk on Sunday. Precious and I did a two and a half hour walk along the shore and by the boats. We had a great time again except that I forgot to bring a ball for Precious. I feel so guilty when I don't have something to throw for her. So we chased a few chunks of driftwood. I saw a river otter running along the beach which was cool then I recognized a guy I was sure I knew. It was Graham from the PrimeApes. It is amazing that they guys are still together - my god it has been nearly 20 years. Good for Graham, Jack and Dave.

I checked my distance walked in my fitbit and then came home. When I got home, I couldn't find my Fitbit. Sense a theme for the weekend. I looked all over and couldn't find it. So Marla and I went out to the airport to check if our new bags will fit in the carrier. They did. After lunch at the airport's WhiteSpot we came home via a short shopping trip in Sidney. I really enjoy weekends like this. I look forward to when I can have more time to have more long weekends. Oh, by the way, I found my fitbit, I put it in a safe place.
