Last week I took a week off for vacation. This is the first time I have taken a week off in about 2 years. I have taken days off and even done extending weekends.
But what was really nice was that both Kyle and I were off and we still sent kiddo to daycare. Mostly cause we spend 2 days building and painting the shelves which turned out really really good. and because we really haven't gotten a lot of rest time without him. I love my son I really do but parenting is exhausting. I ended up taking 2 days of just chilling on the couch watching movies I have wanted to see and knitting. And for once I didn't feel like I was being lazy, I was resting. My body and my mind needed it.

Other highlights of the vacation.

Hubs and i got pedicures. (They give the best foot/calf massages)
Went to the movie theatre (matinee) to watch Fast and the Furious 9. Fun movie. though I felt anxious being in the theatre with other people
Birthday celebration for Wolf. Some people (all vaccinated minus kiddo) gather to eat and play games and chill and it was just soooooo nice to have this sense of normallacy.
Took kiddo to the beach. Not the ocean beach but a park on the bay with small waves and sand. We weren't there long because we didn't know how kiddo/hubs were going to do. Last time Kiddo was near a body of water he wanted nothing to do with it until 5 minutes before we left and hubs well doesn't like outside/heat. But we had a good time and now we have a better idea of what we can handle in prep for next time.

Also yesterday as my first day back wasn't super stressful, I planned for the whole day to just be able clearing through my inboxes. Which was a good plan. I went through the 300+ emails between my 3 inboxes and managed to sort through and respond to all that needed a response except one that I hope to get to today. It just needed a bit more information before I can send it.
