What else can I destroy?

 It's already after 7 on a Friday evening so this entry is going to be a two-parter split between different days. I've been on vacation this week so I'll wait until the end of the weekend to talk about my much needed time off and just focus on the previous weekends since my last entry so I can start my Friday night. So without further ado...

My last entry was Simone's 10th birthday. That weekend was Eric's 50th birthday partay. I headed down to Pembroke Saturday morning and we all carpooled to Salem to hang out for the day. We had lunch at a yummy seafood restaurant and walked around downtown Salem. We visited a museum, walked through a Chinese house, checked out a few stores, experienced Sea Grass and went to a coffee shop. Before I went home for the night, I popped into Target to see if they had pumpkin cheesecake ice cream...no such luck so I got a pizza instead. Sunday, I did my Saturday stuffies, took a walk and a bubble bath. Monday, I did stuffies on the computer, my monthly HOA duties, ran errands, did a pile of dishes and deep cleaned the rig.

The following weekend I spent with Simone. I did my Barre class Saturday morning then headed in the Newbury direction for my appointment but ended up canceling because it started snowing and the roads got dicey quickly. My car slipped as soon as I got on the highway so I got off the exit and headed towards Claremont to pick up Simone. Luckily, Dave met me in Cornish so I wouldn't have to drive the whole way. We did some birthday shopping at Target and the Powerhouse mall and grabbed some groceries before heading home for the night. We hung out, played with her new stuff, streamed movies, and made mac and cheese, chicken nugs, and broccoli for dinner. We stayed up late watching movies while housing a bag of smartfood and self-decorated cookies. Sunday, we got up and relaxed for a bit. When we ventured out, we went to The Paper Store, the nail salon, and got a little Mickey D's for lunch. We watched more movies, played cards and hide and seek, and headed back to Ctown for a little past 6 drop off. Chatted with Dave for a little bit then headed back home, chatting with Danielle on the way and grabbing a few groceries first. Monday, I did a pile of dishes, cleaned the babies' potty room, some computer stuffies and a living room workout.

The following weekend started with a nice lil visit with T-rista at the hitch Friday evening before dispersing home. Saturday, I did stuffies and a Barre laterplay class then treated myself to Gusanoz take out. Sunday, I washed all my bedding, went for a walk, chatted with neighbor Dave about his critter issue then took a bubble bath. Monday, I had my annual derm appointment, got blood drawn, grocery shopped, meal-prepped, sent Lawnmaster a check following a conversation with Amy Merrill, and did a quick living room workout.

Today is the last day of my March vacation. It's always hard going back but the past week was delightful and all good things must come to an end. Like I've done in the past, I'm just going to outline how I've spent my vacation days...just to save a little time:

3.25 The Friday before a vacation is fabulous...especially when you can start vaca 2 hours early.

Sat: I went to Newbury for my rescheduled appointment then headed home to get ready for my date with the Goss' in ctown. We went for a drive to deer spot, had Tremont for dindins and, per usual, adult time in the basement. After I left, Ashley had to call the cops on someone creeping around their house.

Sun: Vacuumed the house, did a pile of dishes and streamed some movies.

Mon: I made pancakes for breakfast, cleaned the babies' food station, grocery shopped, and did a living room work out.

Tues: Did some cooking and picked up my happy pills.

Wed: Did dishes, cleaned my guest bathroom, and dropped Xander off in Windsor so he could have a few days at his vacation home.

Thurs: Made donuts and took a long walk. Also, I destroyed my family...or so some claim.

Fri: Barre laterplay class, ran errands, and started this entry.

Sat: Vacuumed the house and went to Ctown to spend a few hours with Emilee and the kids. She had knee surgery on Wednesday.

Sun: Did some laundry, prepared our HOA deposit, grabbed some groceries, took a bubble bath, and made a plain cheesecake.

Today: I had my annual financial fitness meeting and I'm still on track. I maxed out my contribution to my accounts and will follow up on my living will/DPOA documents. I did dishes, took a walk and will clean my bathroom after I finish this.

Quinn plays fetch with her crinkle balls and it's adorable and hilarious. We are playing now, actually. 

I'm rewatching Hip Hop Evolution and I love it all over again.

I started giving Xander feline CBD oil. I'm not quite sure if it's helping but it has to be in some way. So many benefits for my cranky lil man <3 I actually also got CBD oil for myself to see if it'll help me sleep better.

Still waiting to hear back from Lawnmaster...I'm not impressed.

I was supposed to clean my bedroom on vaca but that didn't happen. That's what next weekend is for, I guess. I really don't want to go to work tomorrow nor be on call tomorrow night. Boo.
