A few weeks ago we here in Ontario celebrated family day. Family day is kind of a silly holiday. It comes in the middle of February. You had Christmas just over a month ago and for school kids they have March Break in about a month. Maybe I think it is silly because it came around when I was already in university and always seemed to coincide with reading week which resulted in no extra time off. Now that I am working, I still think it is silly, but I will gladly take any holiday time off I can. Contract workers do not have a thing called vacation, so we take what we can get.
For me family day was a good day. I was able to sleep in, woke from a text from my brother about taking my niece skating and was able to get a number of chores accomplished. Sadly, it is not a holiday for all and the husband had to work. So I settled for a morning skating session with my brother and niece, followed by some grocery shopping, and errands.
I got home shortly after noon where I was able to spend the afternoon cleaning, baking and enjoying some time with the cat. I finished the day with a session of boot camp. It was a busy day, but a productive day, which I love. I could certainly take one of these each month, maybe then my to do list will not be as long.
