A Fast Trip To The City

 Yesterday was a mix of sun and clouds with a high of 6C. This morning it is cloudy and 0C. Today is supposed to be mainly cloudy with some flurries. The temperature is to drop to -6C this afternoon. We are to have cold weather for the next couple of days.

Lifestyle

I started the day off doing the balance sheet and got it to balance. Having a cold, low thyroid, bad weather had me staying at home a lot and I certainly did not spend a lot of money. I finished up paying bills. 

Once done the balance sheet, I folded laundry and sat quietly for a bit as I was tired. My body was rebelling from over doing it on Friday. I noticed that my brain fog is slowly lifting and I am not having to focus as hard as I was to do things. 

After lunch, I made dinner and cleaned up the kitchen. I did not have beans needed for the dinner and they are ones I am not supposed to eat (soya) so I substituted snap peas and green onions. It is have a spicy mayo on the top which I will add sriracha sauce to regular mayo. 

I decided to do a bit more searching on the family tree and I found some great information. One of my relations was a crew member on the Blue Nose and sailed into Glouchester MA in 1938. Another family member was the master of a small ship that landed in the same place in 1934. I found pictures of another family member taken in 1943 in Ontario. Those were exciting bits of information to add to the family tree. 

My roadblock is a person who is supposed to a daughter of my great-great grandfather. When I did my research on her it states her mother is the same person my great-great grandfather married but it states the father has a different first name. I may have to go to Newfoundland to get this all sorted out. 

While researching, daughter-in-law phoned and asked if she could use the car and if I wanted to come along with her. Grandson forgot his futsal shoes at home and needed them for practice at 6 pm. Son had taken grandson in for practice and she was stranded at home. So we were off to the city. I got to go on the new highway from Sackville to Cole Harbour. It is beautiful and full of traffic circles. We got the shoes to their destination and were off to have dinner. 

The first restaurant had a waiting line out the door onto the sidewalk. It was off to our second choice. We were seated in less than 10 minutes in the bar. We had a delightful dinner and a great talk. When done, it was time to go home. When we arrived home, son and grandson were there. Inside we went to find out what happened. After jerking our ropes, we found out futsal was cancelled due to a basketball game. We had a great laugh at how we had rushed in for no reason at all. The great thing is grandson is now on the university soccer teams chat line so he knows if that practice is cancelled in the future. 

I got home after 7:30 pm. I watched TV to relax and went to bed. I was tired but happy. Would I do a fast trip to the city again? Absolutely yes. 

While at the first restaurant, I looked quickly at a bush I had to walk by. I stopped to take a picture as the leaves are starting to show. 

I don't think this is normal for March 1. I hope they don't freeze and die due to the cold weather we are to get starting today.

Today

I need to do some housework and start prepping projects for this month's sewing. I hope I have enough energy to knit tonight. I am going to try and pace myself so I am not too tired.

Until the next time........................................................................
