What I'm reminiscing about...

I am starting a new job next week so this week I am reminiscing about when I started with the job I'm finishing up now. It was 2019 and I had no experience in mining but I learned quickly and became a valued member of the team. We dealt with COVID, when fortunately mining was an essential service, but it meant a lot of different considerations to keep operating. It's always bittersweet to move on to something new, but I am looking forward to my new position.

What I'm loving...

I keep running into neighbours and other moms I know, at the nail place, the grocery store, the ball field. It seems that we are all coming out of hibernation and it's been great to catch up.

What I'm dreading...

I have had some left elbow pain lately. There is no event that caused this injury, but I think irritation from weightlifting and from the way I sleep. I've been icing it, wearing a brace, and taking Advil when it's acting up, and it seems to be getting better, but I am worried about how it will feel as I start golfing. 

What we've been up to...

Clearing out different places in the house - the shed, the coat closet, the kids' closets, our clothes (although I still need to do the official change over to summer wardrobe), the kitchen drawers, and the downstairs bathroom closet. I've been able to put a few things on the curb and people always pick up whatever is out there. 

What I'm working on...

As usual, working on getting my workouts in and trying to make good eating choices. If the weather can warm up a bit, I will try to get outside more for some runs and walks.

What I'm excited about...

I am excited to get my hair cut and coloured on Friday. I don't get my hair cut as much as I should and I haven't had colour for awhile, but I thought I would treat myself. 

What I'm watching/reading...

I'm watching the Blue Jays, Raptors playoff basketball, and Season 2 of Landman. 

I posted about my March and April books on Monday, and right now I'm reading another book by one of the same authors I read last month. 

What I'm listening to...

As much as I like some easy listening country or light pop in the mornings, I want some good dance jams in the afternoon and evenings - recently added songs to my "Dance Party" playlist - The Days (NOTION remix) by Chrystal, Bring Em Out by T.I, Memories by David Guetta with Kid Cudi.

What I'm wearing...

Now that it's spring and I don't have to wear nylons with my skirts and dresses, I am back to wearing shorts from Thigh Society underneath. They make walking around all day very comfortable. I have them in black and pink and would definitely recommend them.

What I'm doing this weekend...

High Park Little League Opening Day, Q's first regular season game, church, and maybe some golf?

What I'm looking forward to this month...

We have a lot on the calendar for May - new job for me, golf, Blue Jays games, Q's baseball, Mother's Day, a trip to Whistler, our anniversary, and more!

What else is new...

This cool necklace that we Dave and E 3D printed. I would not let Q get this at the game, but now that we printed our own, I think it's pretty cool.
