My Birthday Trip- Day 2

We had planned to go to Dynamic Earth but found out that A) They didn't open until 7pm and 2) they were having a special event called Pumpkin Inferno and the crowds were horrendous so I passed on it.

We spent the day at Science North. Let me tell you, if you have children and you get a chance to go to Sudbury you have to take them there. They have so many interactive stations they would be busy for hours and learning at the same time without realizing it.

We met these 3 cuties right after we entered

There were so many things to see and experience it's hard to decide what was the most interesting part. Natural Science interests me and watching the evolution of the animals from simple arthropods to complex animals.

This is called the Creighton Fault line

It runs underneath Science North, they deliberately built on top of it. Hopefully they don't have an earthquake any time soon.

This indicates where a meteor hit

And it is in Science North as well. As you can see rocks and things interest me more than the animals but I do have one more pic to share from within the Museum. E this is for you.

Giant Spider

There were others but this is the only one I was able to get a picture of.

For Dinner we ate out at the restaurant that is attached to the hotel (sukhdev restaurant). Very nice Indian food.

Butter Chicken and Curry

Tastiest butter chicken I've had in awhile! After dinner we did our usual wind-down because we knew the next few days were going to be computer free. Tomorrow was my birthday and I was going to spend it in a place without any white light allowed.

Embracing Self-Love in Your 60s: Nurturing Your Well-being

As we journey through life, self-love becomes an increasingly important companion, especially as we reach our 60s. This is a time for embracing who we are, celebrating our journey, and prioritizing our well-being like never before. Self-love isn't just about indulging in occasional treats; it's a daily practice of nurturing our minds, bodies, and spirits. Here are some tips to help you embrace self-love in your 60s and beyond: 1. Prioritize Self-Care: Start each day with a simple self-care routine. Whether it's a few minutes of meditation, a calming cup of tea, or a morning stretch, setting aside time for yourself can set a positive tone for the day. 2. Move Your Body: Staying active is key to maintaining both physical and mental health. Find activities that you enjoy and that suit your fitness level, whether it's gentle yoga, walking in nature, or dancing to your favourite tunes. 3. Nourish Your Body: Pay attention to your body's need

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.

As you are aware I claim Paganism as my Spiritual practice, Nov 1st is our New Years day and with the completion of the radiation treatments I am finally able to look at things more clearly than I have in the last couple of years. Yeah, first Covid then Breast Cancer been a real interesting few years. Not happy but interesting. Yesterday I started the Estrogen blockers and today I am having my first hot flash since I turned 60, while I am not happy about that the alternative as my everlovin would say is worse. Quite frankly less than one year for the process from diagnosis to treatment isn't bad but is not something I want to repeat any time soon so menopause a second time. Though at least this is only 5 years unlike the ten of the first time. Once I brought it to my doctor's attention things moved quickly but taking it to the doctor was something I delayed for a couple of months because at first, I thought it was from a fall I took in the winter. Note to self the next time I
