Feeling Lucky

Yesterday began at 7am when I woke up 

on my own! We began the day by both jumping 

up and starting to do our housework that we 

had planned. I finished painting the columns on our

porch and Rhys began to put the edging in

on the garden we made. Both took WAY longer than

we anticipated but wrapped them up around noon. 

Then we hung up the star we found at the 

garden centre earlier this spring and we 

called it a day on the "yard work".

Both of us then headed for a nap. 

As we were working away yesterday morning,

I couldn't help but think "thank god we don't have

kids yet".... It's an odd thought, one that doesn't

pop into my head often. But, all the work

we have been doing around the house probably

wouldn't be possible if we had a baby to be

taking care of or a toddler to chase after. 

Things would definitely be a lot more difficult, AND 

our glorious afternoon naps we have on the weekends

would not be in the cards either. 

After we woke up from napping, we tinkered around 

a bit before deciding to throw our clubs in the car

and hit the driving range. We both wanted to check out 

Blue Devil and thought this was the prime 

opportunity. They have grass tee's which are AWESOME.

Most places have mat's and you really don't get the same 

feel of a true swing. I finally felt like I was 

starting to get the hang of my new rescue 

so I call that a success. 

We also decided that we really needed to hit the lake.

After the driving range we were both a bit 

sweaty and hot so after grabbing some salads

from Subway we got our suits on and hit

the beach. We both took out the 

stand up paddle-boards and had a blast.

I've wanted to try paddle boarding for quite some time

but always found and excuse not to go.

Well it was SO MUCH FUN! I luckily didn't 

fall off once. Rhys bailed twice but it's 

because in true boy fashion he had to try

to go as fast as he possibly could. He is

also a much stronger swimmer than I am

so the fear was nowhere to be found with him. 

I on the other hand am planning to wear a life 

jacket next time just to calm my little 

worrier nerves. I kept imagining me hitting my head 

and drowning.

{This is why I shouldn't work at FMC}

There are lots of places that offer lessons and we did

look into it, but in the end decided it was 

best to give it a go on our own and if it 

was too difficult then we would 

look into a lesson. Luckily Auburn House 

purchased some top of the line beginner 

boards so the stability on them was awesome

and easy to get the hang of. I was 

thinking that maybe we should get some

as an investment. They also retail at 

$2000... NOT gonna happen. 

 

It's been a long LONG time since

I've had enough energy to even wake up on 

my own when my body is ready. My body

hasn't felt energized like this, my guess is about a 

year now. It finally feels good to be able 

to do the things I've been wanting to do for

so long. I also need to remember that even 

though I'm starting to feel better, I probably

should refrain from doing it all in one day.

Most of today was spend between the kitchen, my

bed, and the couch.
