A Day Off

Today was my first day off in much too long. I didn't do anything of consequence. Naturally I called my mother and granny to wish them a happy mother's day. Should that have been in caps? I don't know, seems too formal. Either way, the calls were made. I spaced them out over the day. I also went through some old boxes looking for a commemorative clock to prove to the booj that I was indeed inducted into the Tri-Town lacrosse league Hall of Fame as a builder. Eventually I found it and send the photo away. I also found all of my childhood memories, including my baby book. I spent some time going through the box and enjoying the walk down memory lane. Then I found a journal that I wrote when I was nine years old. It covers all of grade four. I will slowly type it up over the next couple of months. It is pretty hard to read and follow the thoughts from my young brain. Harder than this stuff is to follow.

It was supposed to be a rainy day here but it never did materialize. Instead it was a beautiful day. Rains are expected later this evening and much of tomorrow according the weather fairies. They have been much kinder this spring than last. It seems there is sometimes balance in nature. I will be happy to be done. We basically have to start over with the other crop now. 

I should note also that last week I was challenged to a work week step contest by a blast from the past. She was averaging a massive amount leading into the week and I was dogging it. Then all of a sudden I had an explosion this week. I ended up besting her by nearly 10k steps. I ate sensibly all week but really let it all go today. Lots of unhealthy materials went into my face. It was delightful. I splurged with chips and dips. Chiiiiipppps!!!!
