It’s been a busy few weeks! It sort of feels like I just got back from holidays, but in fact, it was my husband that was on holidays and disrupting my routine and my work for the last couple of weeks. Now that he’s back to work my life can get back to normal.
While my husband was on vacation we mostly stayed in town and got several things around our house. Most of the work that we did was outside, in the backyard. We painted the back stairs, and two storage units that are under our enclosed back porch. It looks fantastic. We also got a lot of garden work done. I don’t know how many calories I burned with all that outdoor work, but I doubt that I’ll need to do any searches for the best diet pills in the next while because I got a good workout. I must have been outside working in the yard anywhere from four to ten hours a day for at least one week.
We did manage to do some fun things while my husband was on holiday too. We took the dog to the beach a few times and we also attended a local Ribfest where we saw a fantastic classic rock tribute band and ate very good but very high cholesterol food. Chris also drove to his home town a couple of times to visit his parents and he did a few odd jobs around their house. I guess my husband got an even better workout than I did in the last few weeks since he did even more work than I did.
Have you used your holiday time to get work done around the house? You know, maintenance work that needs to be done anyway?
My husband will be off work again next week – he’s on temporary lay off next week. My schedule will be all messed up again I’m sure.
In an apartment you don’t have really many things to improve/fix, but with a house there’s always something to fix. However, it’s really nice to stay on the porch and drink an ice tea in the summer.
