Vacation and Surprise!
I went on a 9-day vacation and it was amazing!!! Ok so I was actually on vacation for 7 days but I stayed at my parents for two others soooo yea 9-day vacation sounds good 🙂
This year my mama rented a cabin on Indian Lake in Sugar Camp, WI. This was so absolutely amazing! We did lots of kayaking, games on the porch eating almost every meal on the porch, exploring islands in the lake, and just having an absolute ball! We went up to the UP for a day and visited lake Superior and the Porcupine Mountains (wow lots of hiking.) There are some gorgeous views but it takes it out of you let me tell ya!
The vacation was exactly what I needed and it felt so amazing! The phone was rarely looked at. Checked email only in the morning and the rest of the day were peace and wonderment. We did our tradition and got saltwater taffy and fudge. When you are in the Northwoods you do these things. One day we did mini golf and got stuck in a 5-minute downpour where we got soaked. One brother and I continued to play while the others ran for more of a shelter than the crabapple tree they were under…
This vacation was so much better than last year and so worth the bumpy ride this year. I had an absolute blast learning to drive a boat oh and docking it 🙂 I do believe that was a major highlight of the trip!
Last night marked the first night in over a week that I set an alarm and it kind of hurt. I mean yes it meant there was a steady-ish schedule again but it also meant that I couldn’t walk away from the news or trouble of balancing life. It meant that next morning I was going to be jumping in feet first! And boy did I ever…
When I arrived at work I found a note saying there was an update done to the computer. We each, in the office, had our own username now. Before we were all using one and sharing. Well, the morning started off rough. First, there was no username showing anywhere along with not knowing what the username was, all I had was a password so that was cool. Then there were boxes and papers everywhere that just showed up, the school ran out of printing paper while I was gone…thought for sure we could squeeze another week out of it. Oops, I was wrong. All would have been fine except it was all surprise. I do not do well with surprises. Heads up are GREATLY appreciated.
Anywho after work, I ran an errand went to an appointment and realized I still had little food in the house so I went to burger king for lunch.
After a few hours of wrapping my head around the surprises from this morning, I have more confidence in achieving what needs to be done and doing my work well. Starting fresh is not always bad but when you don’t know you are doing it…that is another story. I am going to mow and work on a project in my garage. Hopefully, I will be able to show that project soon.
God’s blessings to you all!
