"The Rose, The Bud, & The Thorn"


This ones for my wife. I'm supposed to tell you three things about my day.

Roses: Something good about my day
Buds: Something you're looking forward to (tomorrow or beyond)
Thorns: Something that went wrong today (and how you plan to fix it)

My rose---eating cinnamon stuffed donuts at Swiss Chalet with my grandson......priceless!
My bud....visiting my big sitter Elly tomorrow...she understands me so well.
My thorn...spending 47 consecutive minutes on the phone just to cancel a dead persons cell phone!!!

It was a hectic day of visiting lawyers offices, banks, car dealers, and ministry offices. This business of dying is complicated. But what I found amazing was how easy it was to deal with the ministry of transportation....a government office!! Good on the people that work at our local facility. The bank on the other hand....

And today for the first time since Tremblant I tried my hand, or rather my feet, at a short run. I was still tired, but I managed 5 kms without too much difficulty. I followed it up with a 2k run/walk. The positive thing was that my heart behaved exactly like it's supposed to. It went up when I ran, and went down when I walked....pretty cool concept!

And that's about it. I'm exhausted!

run 5 kms
