The final friday of March break is here, which means that yesterday was St. Patrick’s day, and I forgot to have even a single alcoholic beverage in celebration. But what I did do was spend enough time outside that I gave myself a bit of a sunburn in all that warm sunshine as the temperatures climbed up beyond 18 degrees Celsius. I did wear a hat though, so small victory for my head, if not my exposed pale day walker skin. Today is my eldest nephews sixteenth birthday, so Happy Canal Bypass Day spud. He was a tent ripper, a drywall smasher, a guardrail buster, a C- Section baby. If I recall. Any exit but the clearly marked door type, if you catch my drift.
Had a very busy work week, which means invoices to go out and get paid, but also means I worked a lot while my kids were home and off school, and had to pass on a few fun activities with them. But, if we are saving to go to a Disney Resort in another year or two, I’ll need to earn more in order to save for the trip, and cover my usual expenses. So it’s best if I have a steady stream of work, even at inopportune times, because the end goal is a fun family experience, and spending cash to enjoy food, drinks and other activities not covered by park admission tickets.
Plus by the time we actually get to travel internationally who knows what the currency exchange rate is going to be, so saving is worth my while at this point. Since (1.) I haven’t gone anywhere in two years, (2.) we haven’t spent our travel budget on anything. (3.) the home DIY projects were all fairly inexpensive as I have a lot of my own tools, and paint, sand paper and clear coat for exterior wood isn’t break the bank expensive for a deck our size; read – tiny.
