Wrap up

 Allegedly the person who caused the boating accident was known for drunk and aggressive boating, Very sad for the families who lost young people.

I did not accomplish everything that I had planned on my break but I made good work on updating the cleaning. The bathrooms are now done. I need to do another set of dishes before bed.

An old TV was having some issues so I put it outside and was going wrote some details to post on marketplace to explain what was wrong. The TV was gone within 2 minutes before I could even post.

James' toe seems to be improving. He has a follow up appointment tomorrow. He was so tired after the tournament that he went to be around 7:30pm last night and I don't think was up until noonish today.

Boat safety week

 https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/serious-boating-crash-injures-multiple-people-on-the-buck-bay-area-of-bobs-lake-opp-1.6893073

Apparently this week is boat safety week. Unfortunately it has taken the lives of 3 young people.

Today is Pentecost Sunday. Todd spoke on Ezekiel 37 where the dry bones live again. There was a potluck after the service.

The sun is shining so I have laundry hanging out. James has only slept 5 hours each night the last 2 nights  so I am planning spicy steak for 6:15  and expect he'll want to sleep after that.

Boat accident

 Today was another mainly maintenance, somewhat spring cleaning day. I did lots of laundry and dishes. Vacuumed and washed windows. Also watched some gymnastics. U.S. Classic.

There was also a wasp that got in and I trapped him in a window. Couldn't find a fly swatter so picked one up at the dollar store. Ready for the next flying creature.

There was apparently a bad boat accident on Bob's Lake with multiple injuries. The ORGE chopper didn't fly over my house this time but I heard it land.

Milk run

 I woke up this morning at 6:30 to my alarm and I wondered why it went off when I am on vacation. Then I remembered that I needed to get James breakfast. He was off early for the ringette tournament (organization not playing)

I went to Loblaws for groceries and noticed that milk had gone up by 0.20. I picked up salad for dinner but no milk. I hung laundry as it was a beautiful day. Did a lot of dishes to catch up. Ironed a lot to catch up on that as well. I had hoped to vacuum and clean the bathrooms but didn't get to that today. Checked Giant Tiger and SDM and their milk had all gone up by 0.20 as well. I wouldn't mind if I knew this change was being passed onto the milk farmers, I am just not sure about that!

I also exchanged a lot of winter wear for summer wear from storage boxes. Spring is here! Some photos from last weekend at Camp Iawah.

Toe progress

 James has been taking showers and putting the foot into salt water soaks. He is trying to get the acid from the surgery washed off. He is making progress with that. The toe seems to be healing but the cleaning progress is slow.

We made a flying visit to Brighton. The weather was glorious. The 401 has a number of slowdowns. One we noted from line painting. Others were undetermined. Good to see my parents!

Hobbles

 James made it through the surgery where they cut off large parts of ingrown toenail. As him for gross photos. He is bandaged up and resting today but has hockey tomorrow. I'm calling him "hobbles".

His income tax assessment came back and all was ok, he didn't need to pay anything.

I was off work today but still had some emails to do for work and otherwise did some cleaning.

Toe surgery

 Today was working on wrapping up everything from last week. I'm still really behind on my email.

Tomorrow is James' toe surgery!

We ordered pizza for dinner with enough extra for the next few days instead of getting a chef plate box.

Mowing

 Last week when I mowed the long grass in the front, it took 3 batteries full to get through. Today I used 1 battery and I did the front again and about 1/2 of the back. The back is very long. A bunny ran across the back lawn when I was mowing and so I didn't really want to do that part if the lawn keeps the bunny happy.

The board spend a day at Camp Iawah doing some prayer and planning. It was good except in the morning I wanted to go to the water and there was no path so my shoes got soaked with dew and were wet all day. Next time- boots. We saw some deer as we were driving in. They were pretty chill with the cars.

James' birthing day

 James had a rest day yesterday. I was up early and hung laundry for the first time this year. Had some meetings with my summer students and worked on finalizing grades. Had a special pizza dinner for James. Then I had small group at Sarah's. So a full day for me!

Bite

 My bite isn't quite right since the tooth surgery so I may need to go back to the dentist.

James has his appointment with the foot doctor tomorrow. Interestingly in preparation for the appointment that he has waiting 2 months for, the toe infected. So I guess he'll get his moneys worth!

I went into work today to get ahead on marks as tomorrow I have a symposium to attend

biting my own tooth

 In the middle of the night I woke up with my teeth stuck together and in my groggy state I opened my jaw as quickly as possible. I wondered if there was damage but in the middle of the night I couldn't find any so I went back to sleep. But when I woke up I noticed there was a rough spot on my lower tooth.

My dentist got me in quickly before work today and said yes she would need to take action to fill it. She laughed at my description of the event. That my teeth had had a collision in the night. I asked if I would need to be frozen and the helper said yes. But the dentist sensed my dislike of the freezing and she said that it was shallow enough that they could try without freezing. And they did. And there was no pain. So all fixed up now.

The new backpack also seems to be pretty water resistant, so that is also good.

Amazon backpack

 My backpack was showing some wear after about 5 years. I looked at in person backpacks in stores but nothing struck my eye and they were all very expensive. So I found one on Amazon. It is slightly larger than my old backpack and has a thermal pocket for my "lunch". I was worried that it wouldn't be comfortable but it is as comfortable as my old Obusforme backpack so it seems to be a win!

I also finished my taxes!

A break in the taxing for 3 days of showcases

 Mon- Wed I was running nonstop at showcases. Very rewarding but tiring! Here is a post from the Museum of Healthcare that we worked with for one project:

Taxing part 2

 I biked to work because I was expecting an amazon delivery when noone would be home and thought I could bike back during my lunch hour. But it turned out to be delivered by Amazon and not intelcom and that meant for some reason I didn't get any email notifications. The package was on the porch when I biked home at the end of the day. I was pretty tired after biking so I took a short nap. But that means that it is now almost 3am and I am still up.

I got a good chunk of taxing things done and am making good progress but still probably have another evening to finish up.

James drove to Montreal for the last Canadiens game and drove back arriving at 2am.

Taxing

 Had a long day at work, then came home and had some leftovers, then spent hours working on taxes. I think I have all the papers and am just working on getting everything in before starting the calculations.
