Making “the most” of a long weekend.

Harder than you think because if you do too much then you’re exhausted rolling into Tuesday, and since it’s a short week, each day will be ratcheted up to eleven. Or you do nothing at all, and it feels like you’ve wasted the potential of three consecutive days off. The trick is to find just enough to do to satisfy both resting, and feeling accomplished from completing a task or event. I can never get it right, and do too much or not enough and I hate it. So that’s fun.

On the plus side the kids and I did get some climbing in yesterday, a long farm walk where I picked up a week’s worth of field stones, and we planted Dahlias all over the front garden beds. I did a fair bit of reading as well, which was very pleasant. I need to start swapping over the vehicle tires, so I should get on that today. If it’s not too windy I wouldn’t mind a trip to the driving range. I have been searching FB Marketplace for some inexpensive used clubs for my daughter, since my wife lent hers out, and no longer knows where they are. To share at the range is no problem, but some courses won’t let us share clubs out on the field of play. I have a couple pings out, but with it being a holiday weekend, I’m not confident I will receive any responses until tuesday morning at the earliest. Oh well. I’d rather wait and see if I can get some ladies clubs on the second hand market than drop over $300.00 for new cheap clubs for my daughter.

I should look around to see if my FIL has my wife’s clubs stashed in their garage, or if he took them up north for the last tournament he attended last year. Problem is I don’t really recall what my wife’s golf bag looks like, or what brand her clubs are. She had them stored in the shed for years, but all I could tell you was the bag was black, and rough to the touch. I only recently started to enjoy golf, so my wife’s clubs weren’t something I covered, or swooned over. Hence why I don’t know what they look like. The one funky club cover she had is in the house by the front door because my kids thought it was cool, and took it off the driver it was protecting. Now I don’t even have that one identifying thing to search for.

I wouldn’t mind if my youngest took a liking to golf too. I like the range, and I like mini putt, so I’m not opposed to doing those to practice for my time out on an actual course. I’m terrible at golf so us four all being awful together could be fun, as we criss cross each green on a day at the course. Ha! Can you imagine? I think it would be awesome.

Glad I cut the grass on early Friday because it’s getting a lot warmer very quickly. Hard to believe it was 3°C in Thursday, and reached 26°C by five pm on Friday. That’s a pretty wild temperature swing if you ask me. Splitting the difference would have made two reasonable days instead of one being miserable, and the other goo hot too quickly. No time to acclimate to temperature swings that wide. People get sick when it’s like that. My head was sore from the changes in barometric pressure. I’m far more sensitive to it now as I get older than ever before. Not a fan.

Do you choose a Lazy Sunday, a Sunday Funday, or try to be as productive as possible because of the Monday break?
