Can’t believe there are 50 more of these things to go this year! Mondays that is. Chock full of things to do. Gas runs, milk runs, school drop offs (no tears today! Check mark in the win column, thank you very much), sorting laundry, hanging clean laundry, the dishes, and a general first round tidy up. That and I’m back on my bullshit. Yeah-buddy!?! But seriously. This week the extra curriculars kick in again, with new destinations to remember. Same bat time, new bat channel. POW! PIFF! POFF!
Paid work is back (thankfully) and so is my Domestic Duties Monday/Tuesday schedule. Cleaning and grocery runs are all a go. Green light! Gett’r done!
Soon I’ll need to put my quiet time to productive use and get my taxes sorted out before I take it to the accountants office. Lots of receipts to sort through & catalogue. Bill’s to dig up, billing histories to download. It’s a whole thing.
For those playing the home game, this weeks magic puzzle word is “Pilfer”. The losing team Gomes home with a thousand bucks, and the winner gets to eat a wheel of cheese. Fun times. Today’s game is called “The First Monday Back After Winter Break“, and it is most notable for a full e-mail inbox, an over flowing voicemail box, and more meetings than work hours, and having to say ‘Happy New Year‘ to everyone you meet for the next three weeks. Oh, isn’t life grand. Also we’re pushing up the time line for your projects, and you need to sit in on some calls/meetings about new big idea projects whose budgets we’ll never approve, but want you to look into anyway! Ta! Have a fantastic day.
The holidays went over well. We traveled to see some close family. Isolated at the cottage before & after until we had the all clear, and binged some shows, got out doors to snowboard, snowmobile, and walk around to find deer antlers. It was at once a busy & slow 15 days off. Food was great. People were great. Kids were lovely (mostly). The get older real fast though. Vroom. And they’re teenagers off to work, and out with friends. We did get hampered by freezing rain, but it was all good. One extra night with family went over smoothly with the kids. So all good.
Looking forward to what’s instore for 2023. Happy and hopeful! Ciao Bella.
