How was your day today?

[November]

Absolutely stunning day today, its like living in an oil painting. The colours and the stillness are breathtaking. Drove inland about 2 hours to have breakfast with a friend. Its so pretty when everything is green again. The fog melting away as the sun hit it, only one patch that it was really thick. Of course the roos were hiding in it. Didn't see any at all the rest of the stretch. Got back home at lunch time, played with puppies, turned on the heater and now we're all falling asleep in front of the tv. So a good day for me.

WE are in an in-between time on the calendar. Summer arrives at 4:50 PM EDT on June 20 but we have already had the earliest sunrise on June 14 (5:36 AM locally) and the sunrise is getting later even though it is still spring and the latest sunset occurs on June 25 and 9:03 PM. The split in extreme sunrise and sunset times is caused by the relatively elliptical orbit that puts the sun furthest away in summer if you are in the northern hemisphere.

However far the sun is (152,006,000 km) it is still going to be 33°C/91°F from 2 PM to 5 PM here today. Welcome to the land of ice and snow!

I will be heading over to my girlfriend's place this afternoon and we are going dancing later tonight. I never could have predicted a year ago that my life would be like this.

It’s a long day here too.
I’m currently in northern Sweden just south of the polar circle at the moment so the sun will basically be up all night.

Was actually even farther north earlier today. North of the polar circle.
Considered to stay and try to get a glimpse of a proper midnight sun. But it was very cloudy and a very small chance for it to improve later tonight.
Instead I got to see some spectacular lightning and extreme rain on my way back, no fun to drive in, but it looked cool. 🙂

Today hasn't fully disclosed how it will unfold but it has started quite good.
I thought of, then wrote a very short fan fic that I put in the Watcher Diaries. I'm chuffed that Dawn is the prime character, so yes, I am happy at how the day is going thus far.

 

[November]

Busy in the garden and with house work all day today. Its so much easier when I can go outside and do what I need to throughout the day rather than having to cram it all in before the sun gets too hot. Makes the day go past quicker too. I probably should have started the fire over these cool few days but the heater is doing a good enough job. Fun day. I feel so fancy when I have salmon for dinner 😀 Bunny cuddles next.

Emergency maccas run this arvo. Forgot that school holidays are next week and I needed to restock on hay and aldi things. Its forecast to be raining the next three days so I just took the chance today. Turned out to be a great time to go shopping! Hit the coast just before closing time, so had no problem with parking at the stock feed or aldi. The only people in the shop were singles, no kids to be seen! Plus, its the night before pension day so the big spenders wont be at aldi until tomorrow.

Its always a nice drive, all the baby lambs were out. Like the farmers purposely put their cutest sheep along the highway fence lines with all the keep the sheep signs and hashtags. It was dark on the drive home and the stars were brilliant, as always. I want a sky window above my bed so I can stare at them til sleep.

OK today.... finally managed to get Abbs to school only to find out lessons cancelled! Went into town and she bought some books and then popped into the tattoo shop as my friend was getting some work done, so yeah I've smelt the ink and need a new one. It's been too long. So Abbs is currently designing one off a picture I loved.

Spent last nite in hospital. 🙁 Still having stomach issues. Got home round 6-ish (AM)
Feel mostly better now. Good news: not cancer and 'nothing visibly wrong (on scan) in stomach area'
Bad news: we still dunno WTF is wrong with you 😏 Still got appointment with specialist in September
Dr did suggest boycotting few things (1 by 1) for 2 weeks (each) to try to figure out if it's food issue

could it be something brought back from japan? has that been talked about?

If you are in the northern hemisphere, today is the day of latest sunset, in our case, 9:03 PM. The earliest sunrise was on June 14 at 5:36 AM. The solstice was June 20 at 4:50 PM. The difference in dates is due to the elliptic path of the earth around the sun. Now we start getting earlier sunsets, the true sign of summer. I am at 43.6 degrees north by 79.6 degrees west in Mississauga, just west of Toronto.

Yeah, elimination diets can be a big help in narrowing things down. They are boring but effective. it's how my wife learned she had a problem with wheat, which then convinced Dr to test for celiac, which was positive.

It rained during the night so before I wound up waiting another few weeks should it keep up I mowed the lawn. And had a dark chocolate NotAMagnum and another Benadryl afterwards,

Even though it is a gloomy day, it is still quite warm.

I smashed a glass while cooking the other day stepped on glass from it first thing today. I thought I had vacuumed it all up but no such luck. So started the day with vacuuming again, twice.

Took the bunnies out for a brush in the garden before the rain came in the afternoon.

It was so pretty outside when the rain cleared, so still. I should have taken my phone walkies to get pictures but they never turn out as good as the real thing anyway.

Completing my last assignment and then first year of university is finished!!!🎉🎉🎉

I gave in and finally got McDonald's...large fries, six nuggets, and a Quarter Pounder with cheese. I was stuffing fries in my mouth on the way home. It was like being in Heaven. When I got home I put sweet and sour sauce on everything. 🐷. Oh my God, it was so incredible.

Now I'm watching reruns of Mythbusters. I love seeing them blow up stuff. 😁

That sounds awesome!

Youre not as piggy as me. I got maccas the other day, two cheeseburgers, a milkshake and 24 nuggets. Its so worth the drive haha. The dogs now expect nuggets whenever I take the car out, they will jump in and search the car when I get home! I ate at least 12 to myself, with sweet and sour sauce.

Today has been a bit blah. Meeting this morning didnt cheer me up like it usually does. Didnt feel on the same page at all. Did my exercises, and a little gardening and washing, but not walkies. Its just too bright out. I might go at sunset.

Got an invite to a ladies morning this week but I just dont want to go. I havent got enough in me to socialize. I still duno how to recharge without horses or the beach, or maccas haha.

Yes, it WAS awesome...until a few hours later. Mind you, I haven't been eating much for a awhile because I couldn't keep food down after the heat exhaustion last week. So I'm sure you can guess what happened after I suddenly chowed down on all that grease, cheese, and red meat on an empty stomach. It wasn't pretty. 😄 Even so, it was worth it.

Oh no! Hope you're feeling a bit better now.
Maccas usually makes me feel awesome haha, I'm assuming its the salt that does it for me. If I have a migraine coming on, I know that fat is going to get things moving lol. Its almost as much a miracle food as milk for me!

Xander man bun is not looking good tonight 🙁 he was fine all day, but after dinner he hasnt been moving around well. I gave him a massage and some pain medication. He ate his bedtime biscuits on my lap with no worries, did his happy purrs, but when I put him down he just lays down. Anya is giving him kisses and he is doing sleep purrs under the heater. As comfortable as I can get him, at least.

I shouldn't have eaten all of that after being sick for a week. And I DEFINITELY knew I shouldn't have gotten the burger and nuggets. I only wanted fries, but when I got there, I just HAD to have the other stuff. Despite getting sick, it was worth it! It was just SO good. Perhaps today I'll get more fries...perhaps.

Even the Quarter Pounder??

Must be something in the air, because I got McNuggets yesterday, too. But our large is 20, not 24. Is it because you're on the metric system?🤔
