I started my Sunday off in the best, most practical way....In spite of it being a day off, I woke up at 5:00 AM (standard time), and decided that it would make sense to start conditioning myself for the hour-earlier start that I'll experience this week on Daylight Savings Time. So, now that my clocks in the house are adjusted to DST, it almost feels like it should be 9:00 AM.
If things follow the pattern of the past, I'll be lazy and leave my car clock on the old time for a few months before I think about changing it.....It only got switched onto Standard Time about a month ago, lol.

Good day for us. Went to a couple museums sheets we were staying. One was particularly interesting as it was a castle that a rich eccentric made entirely out of concrete. Concrete windows, concrete furniture. Crazy

Got a man coming in later to sort out our garden. There's a tree that needs a lot of branches cut down and bushes that need pruning. He can do more in a couple of hours than I could do in a week, and anyway, I'm too old to be climbing trees. Better to pay someone Totally agree. I won't do that stuff either- one fall from a tree and you are history Growing up we had someone come in & remove a couple of big trees. One of them did fall. Fortunately he wasn't hurt.

In the end, the man didn't turn up, probably because it was pouring down with rain and quite windy. Hopefully he'll be able to come sometime this week. He's quite good as we have used it before, however, he's not good with communication

Tough dragging myself out of bed today. I slept beautifully last night until my 16 year old daughter woke us both up at 4 or 5 saying she had a headache. Pouring some hot team down my gullet before that 8:00 meeting

We have a plumber that's exactly the same, but the trouble is they are great workers, so it's worth waiting for them to call.
Wife tells me that this bloke will probably wait till the weekend as he has another full time job during the week.

Yeah I know my share of those guys- great workers, when you can actually get them to the house...

Lazy day today. I’ve got a chiropractor appointment this afternoon and I think we may go and pick up some groceries this morning.

Probably a typical day at work today.
Although yesterday my boss pulled me aside and said that I really need to take some of my vacation time that I carried over from last year. Normally I never carry any days over but due to covid last year we didn't really go anywhere so I carried 2 weeks over which have to be used my 6/30. I'd been planning on visiting my brother and a school friend of mine in April but my boss said I should think about taking off 3/29-4/2 because he is going to be out too and he expects it to be slow.
Now this presents a dilemma as my wife is off during the same week- which is not really what I wanted. Now she is saying she wants a vacation too. Sigh. I just wanted to go to my friend's and do guy stuff, drink and laugh about old times. Of course I don't want to exclude the wife but it will change everything if she goes too.

My brother can't even do it during this week so half my plans are already canceled. Although if I took Fri 3/26 off I might be able to pull this off. Drive down 3/26 and spend the weekend with my buddy, and then drive back on Monday 3/29. That would give me the rest of the week to do something with her...

All in all a pretty good day. I did some really crappy tasks at work today, spending almost all day on it because I didn't want to spread it out over many days. But my boss was super happy.
I might just have a solution to my little getaway. Turns out my brother won't be around so I'd just be driving to my friend's house. I seriously doubt she'd want to tag along as he and I will probably be obnoxious for several days straight to get it out of our systems. However if I can push my departure to the Friday before, I could come back on Tuesday and still have the rest of the week to do something with her

Late start to the day. I overslept, getting up at 7:50 instead of 7:00 and I had a call starting at 8:00.
Luckily the call was shorter than usual so I could eat and have some tea

When I got up at 7am this morning, my son was sitting at the kitchen table uploading his lesson plans for the day...apparently his internet was down again. Luckily he’s just a few blocks away. After he left, I took out my computer and finished off everyone’s income tax returns and sent them off as we are all getting money back. Now I’m just chilling wondering what guitar I’m gonna buy with that cash.

We really need to take a proper vacation this summer and I am saving money for that.

We really need to take a proper vacation this summer and I am saving money for that. Ya, I know....thanks for bursting my bubble.....😐 we are thinking of renting a cottage for a week. My wife’s niece has found a beautiful brand new cottage on Lake Huron that she’s renting for a few days in early June and my wife said we should try to get it for a week this summer. I could sure use a week away from here. Last summer we went to my SIL’s trailer on Lake Erie for a few days and it was beautiful so that would be our backup plan.

Eureka!!!! UPS just dropped off my replacement power washer. My almost 3 yr old power washer started tripping the breaker every time i turned it on. The warranty was up on May 15th so last week I told Karcher about it and sent them all the required info last Wednesday. Friday I got an email saying that they were shipping me a new one and it would take 10-15 working days....3 working days later, it’s here!!
