Happy Homemaker 2025-02-10

Good morning 

1 week in Florida for vacation was great.  Sun, warmth and relaxation.  We shared a room with sis and bil.  With the $$ exchange rate (was 47%), yikes!  

Got to see uncle and aunt 2 days in Clewiston, FL and then 4 nights in Miami.  We had a great condo in Miami ( much less luxurious in Clewiston... needed a little love and lots of renovations).  

We spent a few days at the beach (could see the Ocean from our room window) and visited Miami Beach, Monkey Jungle (was disappointing, a hurricane had hit and destroyed much of the tunnel and monkeys were on the run... so they have to rebuild and catch the monkeys), Winwood Wall (all graffities and art, was beautiful!), Fort Meyers Beach, and got to visit a friend from work who is retired and was in Florida for 3 months at her condo.

Then when we got back at sis (arrived at midnight Monday the 3rd), slept there and Tuesday had breakfast and lunch with parents before coming back home.  Got here at 4:15 and at 4:20 got a call to pick up grandkids at daycare so they had supper here with us.  

Wednesday was back to work, not too bad a week, so got caught up.  

Thursday dh had grandkids all day as daycare was on strike.  He drove them home after supper.

Friday evening dh went to hockey game with neighbor and his wife came over to chat and spend the evening.

Saturday was some deep spring-cleaning of my craft closet (that is a BIG job) and supper at restaurant in town as neighbor was celebrating her 60th bday.

Sunday was housechores and tummy aches... lots of garlic and onions at restaurant last night even though I was careful with what I chose.

Still aching this morning, so have a 9:20 appointment at clinic.
