My allergies hit me hard last night. I didn’t sleep at all and needed to take a day off from work. For the rest of the day, I took naps and ate light. I was in the house for the entire day. Too bad, it was gorgeous weather today.

Installed my new strap on my watch. I like it. I’m thinking of changing the buttons for Boston screws to secure the watch to the strap better.

It was a busy day at work. My cohort was sick today and I needed to pull double duty. The office was pretty empty, and the snack bar was full. I grabbed a Cougar Mountain chocolate chip cookie. They are scrumptious.  It rained for most of the day. I only ventured out to and from the car. After work I helped and cleaned up the mess from yesterday. The kids have the week off, so we had more time together. Drew with my daughter and played games with my son. Hopefully tomorrow there will be a break in the weather so we can ride bikes around the lake.

The e-bike needs some work to be done in the breaks. I have all the parts now and will need to work on the front tire first. Once done I will go up in the mountains and ride around in the snow.

Happy Easter! I woke up at 6am and placed the eggs filled with candy around the back yard. Placed mostly nibbled carrots from the green belt to main presents. Kids had fun finding the eggs and playing with their presents. The food was great and naturally I ate too much and needed to take a nap. Before bedtime me and my daughter played Out Foxed. I really like this co-op game.

Left the house at 7 am with my son to pickup some items around town. We arrived early to the mall while all the stores were still closed . We walked around the mall and talked till the stores opened. Afterwards we spent time at the local arcade and played Ghost Busters. Once home I took a nap and went back to the grocery store to pick up some items that I missed in the morning. It was a good day, walking around the mall with just my son was nice. We talk about video games and what he wanted to do on his school break next week.

Another week that flew by quickly. After work, I picked up the kids from school and drove to the Municipal Airport with a few Happy Meals  so we could watch the airplanes arrive/depart from the field. It was fun and the kids really enjoyed it. We headed back home and played Super Mario Odyssey to clear the next world of Moons. I stayed up to plan the week better. I feel that I could do more if I plan more things. I typically forget things if I don’t have them written down.

I took the kids and myself to get a haircut. We didn’t go to the arcade as we originally planned and chose to go next week after work and spend a few hours there instead of an hour. It rained for most of the day. I left early from work to work from the car in the rain. I just like to listen to the rain dance on top of the roof top.

I really want to go camping in the rain. The campsite I want to go to is still covered in snow. I am hopeful the snow will start to melt early this year. Planning to ride my bike to see how far I can get up the mountain before I am stopped by the snow. If I had two more batteries, I should be able to make it. But at 5 batteries I will need a trailer to bring them all.  Maybe I should go to a closer camp location and stay overnight in my Teepee with a heater. Just a thought.

I had fun at work today. Spent most of the time talking and going to meetings.  The training manual meeting was delayed till tomorrow morning.

Once I arrived home, my son and I played Super Mario Odyssey. Our objective was to find every crescent moon in Moon Kingdom. After an hour we found all the hidden moons.  We are going to try to locate all the hidden artifacts of every stage for the next few days. It will most likely take a few weeks to accomplish. After my wife and daughter arrived home, we played Out Foxed board game before their bedtime. I love that game. After the kids went to bed I went outside before my bedtime to read and enjoy the weather.

Slept well last night. The office was cold, so I drank hot tea throughout the day to keep me warm.  Completed the 3rd draft of the training manual. Tomorrow we will have another meeting to see if everyone is fine with it. It was a nice sunny day, the kids played outside while I cooked and cleaned. After dinner I tossed around a frisbee with my daughter in the backyard. Played Out Foxed with the kids before bedtime.

Since I go to bed at 7:30 pm to give me an hour to myself to read or watch YouTube videos, and the sunsets at 7:45 pm, I am thinking of going to bed at 8 pm and so I have more time outside while the sun is out.

Time is going fast for me right now. Weeks are flying by, and the kids are growing up insanely fast. I think an extra 30 minutes would be beneficial.

I woke up with a sore back. I must have slept wrong. I went into the office and worked on the never-ending training guide. I feel bad not doing more over the weekend with the kids. This Friday after school I am going pick up the kids from school, pick up McDonald’s Happy Meals, and drive to the local airport and watch the planes land and take off. We used to do this when they were younger. They brought it up a few days ago saying they missed it. With the minivan and a few bean bags in the back, I think it would be fun. Another thing we need to do is get haircuts. Our hair cut routine involves a haircut and playing at the arcade across the street from the barber shop.

I was up all last night because of my allergies. I got out of bed at 8:30 am and headed to the couch. By noon I finally started to do things around the house. I just felt tired and not motivated to do anything. I watched TV and played games with the kids for most of the day. My daughter and I drew for a little bit. In the evening I filled the bathtub with hot water and laid there for over an hour. My weekend plans were placed on hold for another week. Before bed we read to each other and gave good night hugs.
