CraigB Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Just got back from a 20 km (12 mile) run. Had a shower and will go visit my neice who lives in a long term care facility as she has Huntington's Disease. I usually visit her every Sunday for a few hours along with her immediate family and my late wife's brother. She had a rough go last Sunday so I hope she is better today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigB Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I went hiking and snowshoeing in the Calabogie Highlands about 1.5 hours northwest of Ottawa with two buddies (also recent widowers). We had a great time. The weather was perfect with lots of fresh show to snowshoe on the trails and on the frozen lake by my friend's cottage. Nice to get out of town for the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inbetween Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Very little, if anything at all.Sometimes it's good to not do much at all. Our kind needs those types of days from time to time! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flasquish Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Not much at all, surfed the web at work, a pretty useless day. My energy is gone, I have to go on vacation next month even if all I do is sleep all day, every day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigB Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 It's my day off training so I cleaned up my house from top to bottom and did some laundry. I'm going to my tax accountant's office now to sign off on my 2013 income tax return and on my late wife's final tax return. This is the last thing I have to do with respect to her estate so I am glad to have that all done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please know you'll be ok, and that you are in my thoughts Craig.-Chris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She lost her husband three years ago and we will be 6 widows and widowers. Good people and I need to be with them tonight. Thanks again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
