Smoky Days (May 30, 2019)

After our late night last night, I was too tired to get up early and work out.
I planned to get it in later though.

I'm up .2, not sure why but that's ok - going to keep at it.

I got out for a morning walk to the road.
It is very smoky out there and you can smell the forest fire in the air.

Not sure if being out in that smoky air is good for my lungs but the walk is good for my spirits.

See - I'm an outdoor girl 😏 Being outside makes me smile (as long as there aren't any mosquitos)!

The smoke is so thick today it's hard to see things.

Normally you'd be able to see over this way for miles but now you can barely see across the road.
As much I love the nice warm weather, I am really hoping for rain.
We need it.
There are 25 wildfires burning across Alberta already and the forest fire season has just begun.

At coffee break, we asked our boss, BL, if we could go to the greenhouse in WCT this afternoon to get some planters for the office and he said sure.
It would be a good team building exercise!

Before we left, I was sitting at my desk working when I suddenly had this weird thing happen with my vision.
There was an arc shaped prism like thing in the left field of my vision.
It was distorting the words on the screen of the computer and it kind of freaked me out.

I looked it up and the symptoms pointed to either a migraine aura or a detached retina.
So when we got to WCT, I stopped at the optometrist to see if they could see me.

They were fully booked for the day but when I described my symptoms (which had basically gone away by this point), they figured it pointed more toward the migraine aura.
I've never had migraines and didn't realize you could have them without the pain.

Anyway, that made me feel relieved.
I think I will still make an appointment with my optometrist to get it checked out just in case though.

I rode down to WCT with BH and SG rode down with SV (we figured we'd need lots of room for all the plants so we needed two vehicles).

We went out for lunch first at OJ's.

The girls know the drill - smile for my blog post picture!

I had a virgin Caesar and it was fabulous.

I had the brussel sprouts and they were soooooo good.
I felt guilty because they are deep fried so not that great for me but did it anyway.

I had a side salad to go along with it and the side salad was really good.

BH had one shrimp left over that she was too full to eat.
So when she left to go to the washroom, we had the waiter bring her a to go container for it.
Ha ha!
It's just a little tiny dip container and it fit perfectly.

Then we were off plant shopping.
We found these two big planters for the office right away.

The girls were busy looking for plants and I was watching this little guy running around all over the garden center.

We went to a couple spots and the trucks were both very full when we headed back to the Hills.

The smoke was just getting thicker and thicker.

When I got home, My Honey had supper ready.
He cooked up a turkey and we had turkey tacos.
He made guacamole from scratch (he makes everything from scratch) and it was delicious.
I can't wait to have some more tomorrow.

I was so tired again I fell asleep on the couch and Professor Snuggles decided to cuddle with me.
He's not normally a cuddler so My Honey had to take a picture.

My Honey made us smoothies before we turned in for the night.

I saw this on Facebook and it made me laugh because it's so me.

In fact, this is a screen shot of the alarms I currently have set on my phone.

I barely reached any of my goals today, tsk, tsk.
Tomorrow I will do better.

That is all for today, until next time, be happy!
