Wow a whole week… and I was doing pretty good too! I guess that’s what happens when your busy and feel like you don’t have enough time to get everything done. We decided to move into my parents house a little early. We went for the weekend to visit last weekend and just never left.  It started out that we didn’t want to feel rushed by trying to move everything in the last weekend in May. So we started bringing things up that we are not using. Then we moved on to some clothing we used but not all the time. Next thing I know we are moving the bed or the mattress anyway up. After that we had no where to sleep other then my parents place.

This weekend we are taking Saturday to pack and move as many boxes as we can fit in my car (it’s a 4 door Cobalt so it’s roomy enough). Unpack things in the late afternoon and early evening on Saturday and then I plan on vegging Sunday for some of the day. Monday is Victoria Day in Canada. It’s a National Holiday but it is not Statutory (not a paid holiday) in Nova Scotia. However my employer has been kinda enough to give the day off to us with pay. Which is awesome! I still have to drive Keith in to work for 8 and pick him up for 4:30 or 5:30 but I have the rest of the day to do whatever I like. Which I plan to enjoy!

I have been walking 3-4 times since last weekend for about 3 km each walk. I plan on building it up to about 5 km 4 times a week by the end of next weekend. To the end of our road and back is about 1.8 km. I plan on walking to the end of the road and then going down the main road for another 1.6 km and then turning around and going back which will be 5 km total. The road into Chester is beautiful. I really want to create a weight loss blog but just haven’t found the time to get it set up beyond the install of wordpress in the directory. I have not had the time to create a theme or anything. Maybe I’ll just use one of my old themes to get it started…

SUN!!  And lots and lots of it. It’s been a beautiful sunny warm week out. Only rained a little yesterday morning. And the temperature Tuesday morning before I went in to work was already 19 °C. This morning it is already 12 °C and sunny. I feel like I should be a weather woman… But I just love this weather. I need to get some summer clothes. Nothing I have from last year fits. I bought a pair of cheap flip flops from Walmart last weekend. And I also bought one pair of denim capris. But I need some more capris, shorts, t-shirts and camis. Time to hit up value village I think. I really hate shopping there. But whatever. I’d rather not bake in my winter clothes because I don’t have enough money to by designer summer clothes. Where do you shop?

So I am almost finished my first week of days. And I got to say I am loving it. And dreading the idea that I may have to go back to nights sometime in the future. I love having at least 2-3 hours of daylight before I go to work. And I love having 3-4 hours of daylight when I get off of work! Since it is so beautiful out this week

I hate packing. Did I mention that? I hate it ! I really do not like trying to go through things and deciding what goes where and what can go in the garbage and what needs to be brought up ahead of time. I hate moving! I guess it is a necessary evil however.  Every reasonable part of me knows that this is for the better. That if we move in with my parents it will give us a chance to do something we would not be able to do on our own. Getting debt paid off is so hard to do. But the rewards are so worth it in the end. Right now I would not even dream of us getting a house, well okay, I did dream. But I knew deep down it was not going to happen. Or at the very least it was not going to work. At least this way we can accomplish something. Set a goal and achieve it. It’s something attainable this way.
