2 days of telework and 2 days at the office. Friday daycare was closed so my husband did the babysitting. After grandkids left we spent the evening chatting with neighbors untils 10pm outside, perfect weather and no bugs!
We did not have the grandkids over the weekend (they went to their other grandpa's on Saturday and Xavier slept over there and came back Sunday for supper).
So we did a costco run on Saturday morning and dh picked up a few pieces of lumber at Home Hardware to repair the swing outside. We also visited with sil's (1 Saturday evening and the other Sunday evening). We did multiple housechores and I even got to sit outside Saturday afternoon and read.
I usually do not work on Monday but had to assist to some important meetings so will be taking next Friday instead, which is why this post is going up late.
Ah yes, and the Pope is coming to the next town in July... that means that during 1-2 days we will not be able to leave the house as roads will be blocked.. etc.... groceries will need to be done beforehand.
Last week was 2 days at-the-office and 2 days telework. Had lunch with 3 friends- co-workers on Thursday and it was really nice to be 'back to normal'.
Saturday was housechores and Sunday we picked up grandkids and brought them to restaurant. Their parents arrived for supper and they all left around 6:00.
Guess we are jumping in summer without having had spring!

Monday - going to next town to meet financial advisor. Wanted to eat lunch there but no restaurants opened on Mondays! (except tim Horton's), so we had supper at a fast-food joint in another town.
Tuesday & wednesday: strike days from 9:00 to 1:00... cold, windy, and rain!! yuck! yuck! yuck! Had to take out my winter clothes that I had put away :(
Thursday - in-office work, was nice to have lunch with some cw's and chat a bit.
Friday - Tele-work. DH babysat Anne-E as she is teething and not feeling well. He also picked up Xavier from daycare and they had supper here and their bath before their parents picked them up.
Saturday - LOTS of housechores. Grandkids were to come after their afternoon nap as parents had a supper with friends but they cancelled everything as Anne-E was still feeling puny.
Sunday - Family brunch for nephew's birthday. Anne-E probably has hand,foot, mouth with teething + a cold, poor kid.
Today we will have Anne-E so she can rest more than an daycare.

Got a doc appointment - sinusitis - got antibiotics for 10 days + something for my nose for 1 month. Did not go in to work on Thursday either, too much coughing. Friday after work we went to get a burger and did some groceries. stopped by sil's to chat for about 1 hour.
Saturday- got the grandkids all day. drove them home around 4:00. did some houschores with Xavier's help.
Good morning! Happy Birthday to my daughter who is 31 today
Last Tuesday dh babysat granchildren (as daycare was closed). I was at work in town. So many unfair things going on at work :( Tuesday night I was sick (wondering if indigestion or a virus).
Wednesday was telework but sore throat, splitting headeache all day. did a covid test but negative. Got a message from union... we will be on strike april 26 and 27.
Thursday I did not go in town for work did telework as I had covid-like symptoms... turns out all but one of the team were also feeling sick, but for now we are all covid-negative. I took Thursday afternoon off to rest a little (had been up since 3:15). I enjoyed my afternoon by doing some drawing tutorials on youtube.
Friday was picking up around the house and prepping for the weekend at my parent's house for Easter. DH went to garage with our rav-4 this week, the 2nd part of driving shaft is broken (it cost us $900 last time to fix the 1st part) :( My son also brought his car to the garage and transmission has to be changed (between 3500 to 4000 if new) there is a collective action for the company but it has not been approved yet. not sure if they will repair or change.
Saturday we went to my parent's house for Easter. My son, ddil and grandkids also came. Xavier drove in with us so we stopped to see some dinosaurs along the way, he was ecstatic - in fact I have to print out the picture with him and the dinosaur so he can play with it.
Sunday was Easter Brunch and Anne-Elizabeth's 1st birthday, a few were sick with covid or other so it turns out we were 53 instead of 70. It was cold - we even had a few snowflakes!! even with a tent and a little heat. My dd came by too. We left after supper and after the kids. DD calls us she was about 25 min. from her home, she hit a deer, car will have to be repaired but she is ok and could drive home afterwards (we stopped to see how things were). she was very nervous. she calls us about 15 min. later... she had hit a raccoon!
Got home at 10:15. This morning this cough is going even stronger. dh is starting to cough too.
