We didn't do any exploring except on the grounds because I was still in pain from the fall the day before. It is a beautiful place and given its location I would live there full time except that it isn't long term housing.

I got up early and walked the grounds. I started by going to the dock, the water was very low so that wasn't great but I could feel the relaxation the place would provide in the warmer weather. On the way back to the main path I passed the animal pen, they were just waking up.

I continued along the path towards the secret garden. I peeped into a couple of the tent cabins they were great for the solo traveler who likes spending time outdoors but I'm glad we went for the studio, I liked having indoor plumbing and a full kitchen.

I loved the garden wall and I sent a call via the wind phone. I went through the door to Narnia and would have stayed awhile but I wanted to get back before E woke up.

When E got up we went for a walk together and I showed him the pond and the garden wall. As we explored further we found the summer kitchen and bought some coffee for the Kurig in the studio. We also gathered some windfall apples and took them over to the Goat pen to feed to the animals.

I spent the rest of that day writing and the next as well. During the evening we watched some Halloween movies and just relaxed. The next day we headed to Wasaga Beach and the final few days of the week.

Rest Assured I'm still here

 Albeit tired in a way I can not describe well but I will try. November was a quiet month with very little going on and was just what I needed after such a busy summer. I am still feeling off but that may have been because I had what I think was a mini-stroke just at the end of November then December brought GD#3 back full-time. The shakes are steadily getting worse and the headaches are back. It has been awhile since I felt so tense and afraid. It could just be a stress headache but I keep coming back to the massive one I had the night before I got checked out for the stroke. It frightens me but it shouldn't I used to get them a lot last winter, it's because our radiators blow warm, dry air and it dries me out. The thing is even drinking water does not seem to help much. My guess is that I am very dehydrated from the heaters, with the added stress of Christmas and GD#3, all of which add up to "I don't feel so good". Add the mini-stroke stuff and winter arriving a...

Perhaps I was a little hasty...

 Last night all I could think about was getting out of this town and going to someplace safe and quiet.  Funny enough when I went searching for safe and affordable Peterborough was actually on the list and yes the list was new as of June 2022. Kinda surprised to find that we are actually pretty safe here despite all the stuff going on. I was watching Tik Tok and this guy was jogging down a street in Vancouver, there were literally dozens of tents and homeless all along the street. Made me realize that we do have it pretty good here even with the rents doubling in the last six months. I would rather not leave Ontario but the cheapest rents are in Quebec and one of the eastern provinces, I can't remember which one off the top of my head. This is scary Maybe I'll find a way to curb the urge to run away for awhile.

Diet Restrictions make for interesting dishes

 I am lactose intolerant to the point where lactose products seem to go right through me. I am also a fan of experimenting with recipes just because. A few days ago for instance I mixed up some my mr. noodles with vegetable soup and chicken broth and mushroom soup. I didn't add any milk and it turned out lovely just a little spicy and very filling. There are others I've tried as well but I think today was really good and it was simple. To start off I cooked a half pound of ground beef in the oven until it was nearly cooked through. About 5 minutes or so before I pulled it out of the oven I covered the upper side with black pepper. I cut that in half and added it to a standard stroganoff hamburger helper mix.  Instead of adding regular milk I added almond milk and cooked it according to the directions. The almond milk gave the sauce a sweetish taste and the pepper added some heat. I was so good. I just felt the need to share what I mean when I say I am a creative cook. So far I...
