Things are looking up here, too. We had our tax prep appointment this morning, and we'll be getting a modest refund. And Mr. reports to his long-term temp contract on Tuesday morning---so he should be having 40-hour workweeks for the foreseeable future. And the client has the option to convert the contract to a permanent position, so we have our fingers crossed! And we have spring-like temps in the 50s (F) here this weekend, with sunshine. We won't get out to enjoy it much, because Mr. has some freelance work he wants to finish up before reporting to the office on Tuesday, so he'll be working at home much of the weekend. Still, that's income, so it's a good thing, too.

Wonderful news MerryCarey! Congrats to Mr, so happy for the both of you!
Enjoy the beautiful weather, have a great weekend!
 
We officially hit 52° today. Cant do anything outside due to flooding though.
 
Beautiful weather out there today folks! I ran my three miles this morning in just a long sleeve T and not full length running pants! WOOHOO! It's cloudy but still-just so glad to see signs of spring. If it's not going to snow beautifully and it's not leading up to Christmas, I think I'm ready to be done with winter until later this year now!
 
Afternoon all !
Things are crazy here and at work. Cleaning out kitchen cupboards and spilled half a container of sugar all over counter and floor. :eek: 2 weeks till moving day !!! I will be so glad when this is over with. The new place will have all new flooring throughout plus a fresh paint job, will share pictures when we move in.

Something wrong with my van, the steering wheel shakes like crazy when driving. :mad: cannot afford repairs until income tax refund comes next month. Good thing I am only moving across the parking lot. Plus we have a good city bus system so getting to work and home will take longer, but at least I can get there.
Borrowing my friends car to go and pick up mom in Toronto tomorrow when her planes gets in.

But, the sun is out, the snow is disappearing quickly. It is 10c (50f) I even heard a robin singing. No snow in forecast until at least Wednesday.

Hope you are all doing well, will try to catch up later today .

Good afternoon Christmasstar!
I hope the next two weeks go by smoothly. Hope things slow down for you after the move. Can't wait to see pictures of your new place!
Sorry to hear about the van, praying it's an easy fix.
Have a wonderful weekend!:)

Thanks. Got a peanut butter smoothie there. It's funny to see the Valentines Day stuff being taken away, Easter stuff up, shorts and barbecues out (already for summer?) which means...what the heck is next? Fall? Halloween? Thanksgiving? Then???? :)

I also have only one week to finish an online course on ergonomics that I have been slacking on because of being so busy.
