Happy Hallowe'en

I had planned to provide you with more information this week but I guess I am not back to normal with time. Things change as well as time. So, please be patient with me. I am only one person. I have no team. I have a private practice and clients need to always be my priority since they are my responsibility. I have to attend meetings. As you know my injury has slowed me down and time spent at physio is usually a write off day. I have decided that I should also walk more to get to where I was. Driving is still a pain after 15 minutes and everyone has an opinion even those in the know. So, as usual, I gather all the info and then process the information into my brain cells. I have decided that I shall take expedition days (I have been reading my notes I wrote in my creative writing class which I enjoyed in my undergrad and the expedition days were fun where I went somewhere, observed people and wrote creatively.) However, this time since I was advised not to walk more than 15 minutes prior to my injury, which I ignored by building myself back up til I was feeling great and even dancing etc....until the muscle injury blah blah blah......Since my pain has almost gone and decreased to a level where I can work almost a full day, I want to take an expedition where I go to a mall, bring whatever book I am reading (for fun only) walk, shop etc....for about 15 or 20 minutes or + (less than a half hour) and then sit and read and of course be aware of my surroundings which includes watching people. I may use them as a character in a book or I may recognize them and have coffee. There is rarely a time if any that I don't bump into someone I know. I feel I am back in commission. I have also noticed two new high end Italian restaurants in my neighbourhood, I want to try out. I usually like to try something new. If I am really impressed I write it here for you. This is all good. I have been researching real estate in Niagara Falls and just yesterday at a meeting someone from St Catherines said I shouldn't go there because it is a Tourist town. She initially said she was from NIagara Falls (but isn't). I love Tourists. People from all over the world are interesting. There are many here in Toronto so I won't get homesick. She then said it was words to the effect - a dump. My reply is that I would inhance it (with my presence). The Falls is one of the wonders of the world and I can think of nothing better than taking a walk along the Falls and stop at Tim's for a coffee while I feast my eyes. If that is a dump please sign me up. Of course nothing is cut in stone. First I have to heal. Then I have to wait for a bidding war - one step at a time. Regarding property in Niagara, I find that prices are all over the place and many are starting to use Toronto Real estate people to sell their homes. I won't be using Toronto, no sireeee. I will be using Niagara Falls agents only for buying. Big decisions. Of course I am also considering waterfront Toronto condos. So, here I go dreaming again. Situations always change and opportunities cannot always be turned down. I am never in a rush to make big decisions. Happy Hallowe'en people. I had to miss a distant party which I heard was wonderful but will be attending at least one for sure here in the city. What shall I wear? Vanilla and my poppy.
