Sunday was a bit of a regular day. We had the usual pancake breakfast and then Bear and I went out to get groceries. We tried to get some McD's on the way home to fill up the hollow legs of Bear but they are closed for renovations so we jumped across the street to BK. Once we got home I helped the Hubs set up the cords for the cars for winter and then I took myself off to the gym for the first time. I was quite nervous about it but got through it and spent 45 minutes on the treadmill. I'll slowly add in other equipment but for now I'm happy to just walk and think about things. Hubs had hockey in the evening so I got the girls to bed and watched some TV while packing my bags for the trip tomorrow. I'm nervous about that too but trying to get everything in order to make it happen.
Wednesday was a day of travel and getting things set to rights. We started the day in Winnipeg, travelled to Marquette, and then back to Winnipeg for the flight home. It was good to get out and see the stores. I miss that part of my job and enjoy being in the sites and knowing that something that I did was helpful to them. There wasn't a lot of that on this trip as I don't know the system very well so I stayed in the background but I was able to help out a little a couple of times and still managed to not completely feel like a useless tit. Getting home was good, the girls were happy to see me and I managed to have a shower and feel somewhat normal. I'm tired though and it was an early night and a mostly restful sleep.
Thursday was an okay day. I was still tired from my trip but managed to get up and get the girls out the door to school with lunches and backpacks. I had a busy day at work, just trying to catch up and keep up with everything new that was coming in. In the evening Hubs was watching the football game on TV and I took myself off to the gym for a walk. Hubs is slightly concerned about the area around the gym being not the greatest but I go early enough in the evening that it's fine and also there are lots of people about. Once I got home I helped get the kids to bed and then I had my regularly scheduled bath night. I started watching a documentary about Cold Play and realized that I'm not doing what I want to do with my life but I'm stuck in it now and this is how it is. There were a few tears but as long as I don't think about it too hard I'm fine. After bath was some quick reading in bed and then off to dreamland for me.
