I feel like there has been a lot going on but nothing going on all at the same time. I’m happy to announce that C and I made a last minute decision to continue our yearly tradition of going to Florida. I adore last minute trips. You don’t have to spend weeks counting down to vacation. For us it’s like “oh we are going to Florida in 16 days” when the day before the trip was only something we talked about.
My life is really blessed that we have opportunity to do things like this. We have bills, probably too many, but this is the way we decide to spend our money. We may not have a huge savings account but we have a little excess money left over from the death of my mom and his dad. I probably could benefit from a how to save money course, but it is what it is. I also believe that my mom would want me to have fun with the money she left me. I did do some financially responsible things too.
So in two weeks we’ll be on our way to sunny (hopefully) Tampa for a couple days to see my 2nd favorite hockey team and then head to Citrus Springs to see my mom’s good friend who moved there in September when she retired. I’m really excited to see her new house and for her cooking. Mmmmmm
We’ve also started finishing our basement, the drywall is almost all up. I don’t think we can mud and sand in the winter though so the project might hit a wall until spring.
That’s the last wall that needs drywall unless you count the one section C isn’s sure he’s going to do and it requires another trip to Home Depot.
I was invited to a private party at a painting studio that allows you to have drinks last week! It was so fun and for a non-painter like myself I think my painting turned out a-ok. I’m going to hang it in the basement when it’s done 
Other than that all I do is work, get up at 5am on Wednesdays for 90minutes of hockey drills, take the dogs to training on Thursday nights and work on my fitness.
What’s going on in your life? do you feel like it’s moving slow, lightning fast or something in between? I’m curious.

My life is doing great right now, sometimes lightning fast and in some days turtle slow, but its all good. I find it amazing that you can find joy in the midst of adversity. Your post is very inspiring. When are you going to Florinda?
Thanks!

glad life is moving at a good pace for you
That’s so awesome you’re getting away to FL again! And that painting project looks like so much fun!
My life is kinda fast and slow. It seriously depends on the day. This wknd was amazingly fun though and I hope to keep having wknds like this.
You are such an artist. I like your painting very much. If you are to sell that one how much would that be?
I have no intention of buying it though. Just curious about its worth to you!

thanks! i wouldn’t sell it, i painted it for myself in a class
I agree, last minute trips are the best! Have fun in Florida!
I’m sure your mom would want you to be having fun, as you said. she’d want you to be living your life to the fullest and not let anyone else tell you what it means to do that
