Lots of steps and a grumpy wife. My Actifit Report Card: October 21 2024

As always the day started off early with a walk of the dog of course. It was very foggy and not quite bright out yet.

Still by the end of the morning walk the fog burned off.

Lots of leaves on the ground from the heavy winds, not storm like but still fairly strong.

and of course some serious puddles going on.

So that got me the first 3k steps for the day.

Later in the morning my wife wanted to go for a walk. Seemed like a good idea but she was grouchy the whole walk. Well, she was grouchy for the first 10 minutes, mad at me because I only booked a 19 day trip to the Philippines when she had a 24 day time off work (sigh). Then she was mad because I didn't want to go to some remote islands off the Island of Palawan with very little time in case of problems before coming back home.

Then she stopped talking to me for 30 minutes.

Sometimes a husband can't win. But a smart husband doesn't take it personally. Why? Because I know she really wanted to go to Davao but her parents told her its not safe (Zamboanga has the issues not Davao but to her parents its all the same thing). When she gets mad at her parents I feel the repercussions.

Anyways, that all blew over once I came up with "alternate plans". True we won't get to see some business partners on the trip but that's a different story.

However, that was two laps around the park ... at double time pace because she was mad... but good to get my steps over 10K :)

Then there was the evening walk. Now my mother-in-law had her birthday today so the house was packed. Kids running everywhere. No place to sit. Way too much food. And a lot of conversations I didn't understand because it was either Tagalog (where I understand a little) or Ybanag/Itawis which I understand nothing.

Seemed like a very good time to make myself scarce and take the dog for his evening walk.

The rain had just let up and ...

I got to see a double rainbow. Sure the main rainbow is easiest to see but if you look there is a second rainbow hanging out just on top.

Overall I think this is a nicer picture but I'll let you judge :)

In the end if reminded me of one thing.....Storms certainly come. People aren't always happy (yes, wives get mad). But watch out for the bright moments at the end as they are often worth it.

As a side note:

The cake that threw off my diet plans for the day....

and....

a small part of the happy birthday crowd :)

Thanks for dropping by and until tomorrow :)
