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.

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.

"Part of the problem, time to set boundaries"- Everlovin Yeah I've been realizing that. A long time ago a counsellor told me that as well but I don't know if I have ever had any boundries in my life other than the usual if you hurt me or my kids you are gone. Back then it was physical stuff, emotional and mental pain were not part of my knowledge. I am more aware of it now but I don't have protect myself that way. "Start, if nothing else they will never learn to stand on their own 2 feet if you are constantly saving them from themselves"- Everlovin Me and my partner discussing Personal Space. Not from him he is pretty good at giving me the space I need my children and grandchildren not so much He says this song should be my theme song but it really isn't even close to the way I feel about my life these days. Once maybe but it has been a long time. I've read a lot of books in my life about self awareness in its many forms (self-care, self-est...
