I love vacation time. But then again who doesn't!! I opted to take March Break off with my hubby and the kids. This chews up a lot of my vacation hours but it is worth it! The first half of my time off we spent visiting my best friend Amy. She bought a new house in November and I hadn't been able to make a trip up to see it until now. (It is a 4hr drive) Her new home is beautiful. It needs a lot of work, but she and her husband are both handy so the potential is there. We spent 4 days. The first day was just a relax, house tour and setup loggings day. The next day went for a nice walk through part of the city and enjoyed watching our kids playing in the backyard. The weather was gorgeous. We also made a trip to Ikea, which is always a lot of fun even though I didn't do any shopping this time. I did get a lot of ideas though :) Our last full day was spent at the local Sugar bush. Maple syrup is wonderful but Maple Syrup Lollipops are to die for! The last day was a morning of playing in the yard and helping Amy setup a new computer station, then it was time to get on the road.
I didn't get as much accomplished today as I would have liked, but I'm not obsessing that I didn't. I did get a plan sketched out (with measurements) for my basement reno project and sent the plans to my friend Dan who is going to help me make it happen. We also went out as a family and did our huge grocery shop and then came home to relax together.
Tomorrow I plan to get back to the gym and start cleaning/packing up my basement. The best thing about having the plans on paper is knowing what section to tackle first! I knew I wanted to build in a bedroom, but didn't know where it was going to go. Now that that is realized I have to get that area cleared out first.
So for today and the last little while, my mood has been good. Everyday is a new day, full of new choices and battles. I am choosing to be happy and enjoy my vacation!!
