Pausing for a Recharge

lil_m_mosesFound three days relatively empty of customer meetings this week, so I'm working on that annual goal of taking some time off every quarter. Go me!
I'm not doing anything super special, but I do have a couple of fun things lined up. Today I planted some spring flowers (iris and daffodils) and did a weed and feed spread on the lawn (and, of course, it's been pouring rain for the last 30 minutes), made myself take advantage of weekday day hours to go revisit the top two contenders for care homes for Mom and see what they have now, ran a couple of errands, went to dance class, and cooked a thing.
Tomorrow is trying again with the evaluation to hopefully qualify Mom to start making claims on her long term care insurance (after its 90-day waiting period). We're getting her own doctor to do it this time instead of some random nurse over a Zoom call. And then a nice family multi-birthday dinner out in the evening. I haven't yet decided what will go between, but toilet repairs will likely be on the list (one flush valve leaking, one likely has a partly-clogged fill valve). Maybe I'll read some of the paper library book I have out.
Friday cousin and I are going to visit the SkyBridge about an hour north. It's a long wooden pedestrian suspension bridge amongst the hills at a ski resort. She says it's nice, and it sounds like my jams, while husband and child would never go near it. The weekend will likely be usual stuff, possibly with bonus minigolf because the season's almost done and I love it but haven't been this year. Kiddo wants a haircut too.
And then back to the frenetic work chaos on Monday. At least I get 2 days before invoicing starts again (and with it new billing for a newly-launched customer, which promises to be challenging).
