Sun 9 Aug

Light rain and huge thunderclap this morning. Need to go over to Michael and Taylor's after breakfast to feed the kitties. They are used to being fed at 6:30 am, but M/T understand that we won't be there that early. Food: 7:45 am 121 g chocolate hazelnut croissant, 100 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Sat 8 Aug

Walked to the Farmer's Market this morning, just like the old days. Got pastries, carrots, and ginger snaps. Temperatures were comfortable, but could feel the humidity. May need to pack some warm weather clothes for Canada if things don't start to cool down before the end of the month. Temps in Halifax seem quite similar to ours. Cantor this evening, tend cats tomorrow morning. Food: 8:50 am Honey bear pastry, 101 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Fri 7 Aug

Free day today for laundry and returning library books. Weather is still pretty comfortable. Making arrangements to see Bagus and Fony with Axel next weekend. Feeling a little guilty that we haven't connected with Axel all semester. Food: 7:55 am 3/4 c TJs Maple Pecan Crunch cereal, 1/2 c skim milk, 103 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Thurs 6 Aug

Back to cereal for awhile for breakfasts as we have no good pastries on hand and won't be going to Madison til next week Saturday. Might be good to take a pastry holiday for a bit. Cereal tastes pretty good for a change. Food: 7:50 am 3/4 c TJs Maple Pecan Crunch cereal, 1/2 c skim milk, 102 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Wed 5 Aug

Free day! Had fun doing DIY bubble wands with Cindy and Judy and talking about OBT at the family activity at Seramur Park yesterday. Think I'm going to skip Body Pump and do a Pilates mat since I can do both days of Strong Bodies this week. Food: 7:50 am 72 g cherry almond kringle, 102 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Tues 4 Aug

Helping Cindy at Seramur Park this afternoon with a children's activity for One Big Tent. She is a teacher so she is bringing everything and I will just do as she directs. Charm is letting us use a canopy so we won't have to sit in the direct sun. Food: 7:50 am 112 g cherry almond kringle, 105 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder

Mon 3 Aug

Spent some time this weekend going over the Maritimes vacation itinerary. Sent questions to Piper which I will follow up by trying to make phone contact, though I'll probably give her today to respond by email also. Decided to reserve a night at the hotel before our Park N Fly since our flight leaves at 7:05 so we have to be at the airport around 5 am. Had a nice hike at Roche-a-Cri yesterday followed by a shrimp pizza at Two Lakes. Was a lovely day. Food: 7:45 am 92 g cherry almond kringle, 102 g blackberries, coffee, goat milk powder
