November

 Dear Cindy

The days are short and go by quick. 

I have an agreement to work fully remote (from home) so I bought myself a really nice office chair. Luc had stolen my old busted one for his room - and I had no need to replace until I was back at work. 

I completed 5 sessions with a personal trainer to learn how to use the weight room at the rec centre. This way, as the boys are doing swimming lessons - I can keep myself busy in the weight room and do things properly. 

I may start using this forum to plan my meals. 

We have venison and chicken for our protein. We have a side of pork coming closer to the end of the month. 

Also at the end of the month we may have rabbit kits. Both our does were bred. We'll see if they take. They are getting older and may need to be replaced with younger ones if we want to continue with rabbits. They're pretty easy to take care of. However, their cages are now 5 years old, and are requiring maintenance and repairs. So we may need to take a break for that purpose. 

BC Hydro came and did some tree felling along their hydro line. This produced 2ft diameter logs in our yard that need to be cleaned up and used for house heating fuel or fun bonfire flames. 

Rest of October

 Dear Cindy, 

It's feeling like winter around here. Each night is below zero, but the days are warming up to single digits. 

We're set up pretty good going in to winter. There is still some yard clean up to do - but there always is. These next two weeks will be focused on finding at least two deer with antlers that can come to our freezer-camp. 

STRIKE IS OVER

I went back to work for the first time in 14 months during the last week of October. 

NOW I need to figure out a new routine and get back in to meal planning.
