Sat: My March staycation officially started and it started absurdly early because I agreed to a spa day in Canada with Suzy for her birthday (her friend Rosie joined us) but despite the serious sleep deprivation, it was super fun and worth it. And also despite the initial hiccups and finally getting to the point of the luxurious experience. Giant hot tubs, maintained fires, quiet, steam rooms, saunas, nap rooms, a pricey and fancy lunch in bathrobes, and one of the best massages I've ever gotten. Oh and good coffee and a doughnut. Oh Canada.
Sun: I knew I was going to be down for the count for a while but I didn't think I'd finally check my phone at 2. Mike was halfway to my house because he was so worried and turned around when he knew I was alive. I got up, had some coffee time then got up to have a much needed shower and start cleaning up the kitchen. Mike came over and we caught up, made dinner, signed paperwork, then called it a night with some Ozark.

Got caught up, filled out another land-related form, cleaned up the kitchen, finished a chapter, did and arm workout and went for a run outside for the first time this year. My finances are officially in order for the land closing to happen so I'm calling it a night with some pizza and a pint.

Wed: I woke up to Mike kneading me like a cat. We officially closed on our 40 acres of land in Cornish today. Sellers are awesome. We ran some errands, went out for lunch, drove to the land and walked it for a bit. We ran to Ascutney, got Mason off the bus, brought him to the land to tell him the good news (picking up Tony on the way) then spent the rest of the afternoon outside before dinner.

I went for a walk, the latter half with Mike. We went to Kotos for dinner (we were seated with some nice people), then called it a night with some Ozark.
Sat: Mike woke me up, we relaxed a little bit then got ready to head to the bank. We were going to open a joint account for land funds but the branch was having technical difficulties so we abandoned that and headed down towards Concord to buy a trailer. We came back and he dropped me off and headed to Cornish to start work on the land. I ate something, washed my bedding, ran some errands and made a grocery haul, made dinner and started cleaning my bathroom. I showered and called it a night with Mike, spaghetti and Ozark.
Sun: Mike let me sleep in a bit; when I got up, I had my coffee time. I kept it a little short and got up to get something to eat, put stuff in the crockpot, then get ready to head to the land. I helped Mike clear some stuff then hiked a bit until it was time to head home to finish Sunday stuffies, shower, have dinner while watching Ozark, and dive into a pint.
Wed: My rescheduled therapy was canceled so I slept in a little bit and had coffee time. I got ready and headed to the bank to finish opening our joint account Mike lost track of time and was busy so I left irritated but that's all resolved now. After getting gas and going back to the bank, I headed home to start some laundry, finish cleaning up the kitchen, and do computer stuffies. I headed to Cornish to get Mason off the bus and we hung out until Mike got home. We had dinner with Emily at Poor Thoms then headed home to do a quick arm workout and get ready for work.

Sat: I had my morning coffee time, folded some laundry, finally finished cleaning my bathroom then got ready to head to Cornish to hang with the boys. I brought my new metal detector to assemble and it ended up having some battery life so we played around with it while walking around the property. We ended up taking it to the new land while we went up to catch the sunset. It's going to be a fun toy. I did some bedtime yoga and took a shower before calling it a night.
Sun: We all woke up and relaxed for a little bit. Mason went back to his mom early for vacation and Mike and I headed to Killington to see his sister and eat delicious food for her annual 4/20 party before they take an extended break for 2 months. We headed back to Cornish to hang for a little bit then we headed north to pick up starter beekeeping supplies I decided to buy at a yard sale for the future homestead. Once I got back into town, Mike helped me transport bee stuff into my garage. I relaxed for a bit finishing cat care instructions for Sue then got up to clean up the kitchen, get ready for work. I headed to Hannafords to grab a few things but they had just closed so I went to the Chopper. I finished the night with leftovers and some cheesecake.
Wed: I got up an hour after my alarm went off and was out of the house by 930 (while my boiler and water heater were being serviced). I stopped in to see Mike, filled out some paperwork then hit the road. I arrived after the bag check cut off time so they rebooked me for the dinner time flight (same as Dan and Tim). I had time to kill so I had a leisurely meal, fucked around on my phone, walked and read. I almost missed the second flight because I was walking around. Flight was uneventful; I ubered to the hotel, got settled and chowed on some lo mein before going to bed.
Thurs: I woke up on my own earlier than I wanted, plus the clock in the room alarmed at 815 and I had to get up and unplug it. I took my time getting up and just shy of 10, I went downstairs to scope out the food situation but there was nothing (hotels.com lied). I did some stuffies then got ready to head to the convention center. The walk took longer than I expected but I made it and met up with my peeps. I got a coffee and a snack and we bounced between various sessions and called it a day, heading to a rooftop bar event serving free bevvies and delicious food. We went to the Field Museum for another event, consuming more free food and bevvies while admiring natural history. I shuttled and walked back to my hotel totally beat.
Fri: I got to the convention center just shy of 11, in time to see EZ speak at a session. After that, I headed to a noon session where I was delighted to eat a free lunch. I went to other sessions at 230 and 4, poked around the exhibition hall intermittently, talked to Mike (he had to fix my lack of hot water issue; they left the gas valve off), and we all ended up calling it a day at 5. I walked to the nearest Lou Malnati’s then walked back to the hotel with my deep dish pizza to rest, eat and talk to Mike. Spent.
Sat: I got to the convention center at 930 and went straight to a session. Pretty much was in sessions most of the day, including an episode of HRSTV featuring EZ. Ended the day with hearing SCA survivors tell their stories then headed straight back to the hotel totally beat. I did some stuffies, talked to Mike, ate leftovers and called it a day with some bedtime yoga.
Sun: I woke up at 730 and relaxed for a bit then got ready to head out on a touristy day. I walked to the site where the 1871 fire started then went around the corner to have a delicious breakfast. I ubered from there to the Chicago history museum and spent a couple hours perusing. From there, I ubered to the riverfront architecture boat tour with Hillary and her mom. From there, I walked back to my hotel and relaxed for the evening, polishing off the rest of my pizza.
Mon: I woke up early to get ready and head to the airport. Unbeknownst to me, my return flight was canceled because I took the later flight Wednesday but they still were able to get me on. I was going to lose it. We landed and I got home around 130 after dropping off Tim. I started unpacking, took care of and loved on the girls, made lunch, and rested until Mike stopped in after work. I finished unpacking, cleaned up the kitchen, then headed to the chopper. When I stepped outside, I quickly realized that a whole hive of bees had taken over the hives in my garage and panic mode set in. Luckily, Emily and Geoff were outside so they helped me troubleshoot and find a solution. Emily was brave and donned a bee suit and moved the hives one piece at a time to the lawn near the hill. Most of the bees followed but some stayed in my open garage overnight and perished in the cold. Hopefully someone comes and takes the bees. After the crisis was averted, I took a shower and called it a night.
Wed: I let myself sleep in and got out of bed when I was ready. I had my coffee time then got up to clean up the kitchen a little bit, do some vacuuming then I got ready to meet the boys at Townline because we decided to purchase an excavator lol. We headed to the land to do some hiking and metal detecting for a bit then headed home quickly before going to Frasers for dinner. We relaxed for a bit after then I headed home with a quick pitstops for the night.
Thurs: I let myself sleep in and had coffee time. I snacked, did some dishes, finished vacuuming the house, set up automatic payments for the land loan, ran some errands, grocery shopped, talked to the boys, did an arm workout then called it a night.
Sat: I woke up at a decent time and had my coffee time. I did some laundry, packed a bag and got ready to head to the land but my plans were complicated by Mike getting stuck (it was raining) then getting unstuck so he had me go to the house. I hung out with M, J, and B while Mike went back to clean up a bit. He got back, got cleaned up and he needed a rest so Mason and I went out to play. He's getting more into sports. We had dinner and a movie night.
Sun: We woke up and relaxed a bit. Mike headed to the land and M and I stayed back to play. Mike got back then we all headed to the land after lunch. We weren't there long before the Dickerson's arrived and we took them on a woodland adventure. We headed back home, played a bit more then I headed home to see the girls and do stuffies. We resumed our Sunday evening activities.
