Happy Homemaker 2019-01-13

Good morning friends!

Last week was back to work (3 days), sure had alot of work to do ... would have taken 4 days at least, ah well, ...
Had lunch with Mrs. President at work (won a prize) with 4 co-workers of my choice.  We had a good time, wasn't too intimidating and the food was very good (Le Charbon Steakhouse in the same building as the office).
Saturday we went to Cap-de-la-Madeleine with sister-in-law and brother-in-law to help my daughter move.  Lots of IKEA furniture to set up, ugg!  She is now settled in her new appartment... some things will have to come here as she has less space (she had a 5,5 room appartment and now it's a 3,5 room).  She seems to be happy with her choice.  It rained ALOT all day.
Sunday was a snowstorm... a foot of snow and VERY windy.  My brother and sister-in-law were in the area so they went to see the baby and we met them at my son's house.  Me and my husband had supper there with them (my brother left around 4:00).

How I am feeling this morning
Was feeling tired and achy when I woke up, but did some yoga stretches (easy ones), had my breakfast and have started laundry and rice is cooking so feeling ready for the day to begin!
On my mind
I chose my word for 2020 - it's BE NICE... to myself, to others, to the planet, in my words.
Do good things and good things will come back your way.
