In a massive frugal fail, I signed up for two workout classes & didn't go over the last couple of days, due to being sick. I don't regret not going, and there was a wait list for the classes, so I didn't want to drop out. I was overly confident on how well I'd feel. I also find myself frustrated that I didn't do much of anything on my two days off of work, which is kind of silly, because I wasn't going to feel up to working, either.
I'm going today & just taking it easy (with a mask, although no fever, of course) & I am feeling better.
Things I'm up to today:
- Transferring some Hyatt awards to various folks. I'd much rather give them away vs letting them expire.
- Making banana muffins
- Cleaning the house
- Doing some laundry
- Menu planning
- Working on some cash flow planning for 2027
- Starting to think about a March trip, when M has a few days off at the end of the month. We are leaning towards Santa Barbara/Channel Islands, or Florida/Everglades. Florida has a lot more logistics, but the weather at that time of the year in Santa Barbara isn't as predictable.
What about you? What are you up to today?
I think an Everglades trip in March sounds great! I think that is the very last “doable” month until December bc of the heat and humidity there. Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteI used to hate being ill on my days off, but then realized, I actually let myself feel how I really was when not a work day. I was probably sick on the work day too! I started actually using a sick day now and then on work days. Its so incredibly beautiful today. Just got in from a very vigorous ball play with my daughters dog in her much larger than my back yard. He could really run. Pup loves a change of environment but now is exhausted. Im going to spend the rest of my day reading and planning on her deck while the dogs play or sleep. Tomorrow a cold front, well, normal October weather comes in.
ReplyDeleteBoth NP's are gorgeous HP, so I am confident you'll enjoy whichever you decide on. Once in Florida, perhaps keep Biscayne Bay NP in mind as well- it's in Miami Bay, where you may be flying into, and thus very easy, logistically, to 'do'.
ReplyDeleteI lived in SB and have visited the Channel Islands (just Santa Cruz). We camped and there were a fair amount of logistics with that (the primary boat company leaves from Ventura), and knowing which islands have potable water and restrooms.
ReplyDeleteNot to deter (it's immensely cool!), but I agree the weather can be a toss-up for that time of year, so weighing the work + the expected vacation time.
