This past weekend was a long one for me and, even though the weather was good (but not perfect), I really enjoyed having Monday off work.
The Monday closest to May 25th, is celebrated as Queen Victoria's birthday and the birthday of Queen Elizabeth. Schools and provincial offices are closed, as well as most retail businesses. However, I was very surprised to learn that this is not one of the general paid holidays in some provinces. Employers in Nova Scotia, as well in New Brunswick, Labrador or Newfoundland, may provide this day as a paid holiday, but it's not designated. In Quebec it is not a statutory holiday.
As for me, I enjoyed staying in my jammies all day and just generally doing nothing. Definitely my kind of a holiday.
Good Night for now.

Sometimes it's wonderful to participate in a little self indulgence once in awhile. This morning was one of those times that I did. Breakfast in bed is not my idea of a great start to the morning. I prefer to be up and running as soon as my eyes open but when the week has been abnormally busy and this Easter weekend seems to be a couple of days of cooking, cleaning, cooking and cleaning, I needed time to rejuvenate. So this morning I did it! Coffee is the best first thing in the morning even when it's extra HOT!
And then what I enjoy most is getting caught up on my reading.
It didn't last long but it was SOOOO sweet when it was happening. It was awfully hard crawling out of this comfortable bed.
Happy Easter! I hope you all get a chance to rest and relax over this holiday.
Good Night for now.

Oh yes...the weather turned really cold, really quickly. It was snowy, blowy and not a good day for going out to shop, to decorate or to go clubbing. On top of everything, I started to get my annual cold - sniffling, sneezing, snorting. So I decided this was a perfect night to make some hot chocolate and sit by the fire. I did need to consider the gifts I had bought. Hmmmm....did I have everything for the little ones? What about Uncle Joe? He's always so picky. Maybe I should pick up something else for Aunt Irene.
I put on my cozy flannel Christmas jammies and got the fire going. It's so nice to sit by the fire, warming your hands on a blustery evening. It really made me feel so comfortable.
I picked up my toy moose, that matches my slippers [a little "security blanket" when I'm feeling lousy], and sat up on the mantle, taking the place of the stockings that will soon be hanging there.
There's nothing like taking a break from the hustle and bustle and giving some time to yourself.
I know...I know...I know. I'm goofing off tonight. But I really need to chill a bit and renew my energies for the days ahead. I think everybody needs to do that at this busy time of year. Look after yourself.
Good Night for now.

Yesterday was rainy and dark and I really didn't feel like doing anything so when I saw Real Living advertise the special for Lazy Sunday, I ran out and bought it. Appropriately, I had a stack of reading to do and really didn't feel like getting to it. After supper, I put on my jammies, my comfy slippers, had a glass a wine and started to read.
HA!!!! I read the newspaper....
I read a recommended novel....
I read a fashionista book....
And I started another novel.
Did I ever get to my necessary-work-related-reading??? What do you think? **Psst...it was a very relaxing evening doing nothing**
