I really need to come up with better titles for these posts :) I'm always at a loss and they are quite boring and repetitive.
We've had a lovely weekend and now I'm all alone in the house as the girls are at school and Hubs is out on a job. The only thing now is to remember to feed the fish at noon and pick up the girls after school as well as start supper beforehand. I've added the pickup into my work calendar just so no one books me in a meeting at the time I need to be there. It was discussed with the Boss and she is fine with me taking a few minutes out of my day to do drop off and pick ups. It's not like I take any breaks since working from home. I sit my butt down at 8am and if I'm lucky I'll move a few times before 4:30pm but there are days where that doesn't happen and I'm in my chair all day. Those are days when I can't stand up very quickly once I try.
On Saturday I dropped so books off at the library and checked if Bear's gift card was in. She won it for reading in the summer and I'm so happy for her. It wasn't there yet but once it comes in we will head up to the book store and she can shop till it's all used up. It makes no difference that she can't read on her own yet, she likes books that are a little higher reading level and we just read them to her. Currently it's Captain Underpants and Harry Potter. In the afternoon we also went to a store called Glitch here in town. It bills itself as the "Worst Shop Ever" and is filled floor to ceiling with gifts, toys, candy, and very random things. It's a great store and we had a fin time looking at all the things in there. There was some concern on my part as Bug can read and not all the items were kid friendly. There was a fair amount of bad words on them. Which is great for the gifts they were just not so much for my little one to read. Also in the back of the store is a curiosity museum. It is small but has a fun section of things to look at\, all the way from the World's Largest Cheezie to shrunken heads. Some of it was too scary for Bug but most of it was fine. Due to it being the second Saturday of the month they also have a Live Zoltan to tell your fortune. I had to have a go at that! I am always interested in what these things will say and I've never had it done so I spent the $20 and had my tarot read. It was good and I could see how it related to the question I had in my head that I was wondering about. It's not like it was freakishly accurate but it was close enough that I was happy and didn't feel like it was a waste of my money. I do believe that some people have a gift to do that kind of thing but also know that the people that do do it are great at reading body language and telling you what you want to hear.
Sunday was the beginning of bowling for the season. It turns out that there are only two teams signed up to bowl at the time we are so they might ask us to move. I'm willing to go to the other Sunday time but not too motivated to go to the Wednesday night option so we'll see how it goes. Both girls had great games to start off the season so hopefully we can keep it up. I then made the grocery list and Bear and I headed out. We grabbed some lunch while we were out as well. It used to be a thing I did, whoever came with me got to go out for lunch with me and have that one on one time but since Covid it hasn't happened. It was good to start it again. They talk so freely when it's just us and I always want that to be there. Once we got home and every thing was put away, I noticed my Kijiji ads had expired so all those items went to Value Village. I gave it a shot at trying to get some money out of them and then just wanted them one. Most of it was stuff I haven't used since we bought the house ten years ago. If I haven't felt the need for it by now then I doubt I'll miss it. We did bring home a few new things from there but nothing crazy and it all had a home. We picked up Clue Jr. and had a game of that after supper. It was good but was a little long for the attention spans we have. Maybe next time it'll be quicker since we have the rules down now.
Today is just a regular Monday. Thankfully back to my old schedule of having few things booked on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, though Thursday is filling up for some reason. It gives me a chance to get things caught up and get my inbox under control. My job would be simple of people stopped asking for information! I'd probably also not have a job in that case so I guess I won't complain too loudly. I also need to submit my phone bill to get the work from home credit and make sure I start the testing of a new system but both of those are not too time intensive. I also need to book my holidays for October as I want to make sure I don't bunch up at the end of the year again and have to be gone every three weeks like this year.
Well off to get things done, have a great day!
