I have a truly LOVELY day today. It was exactly what a break should be. There was a delicious breakfast to be had, casual getting ready, and then some really good shopping with my sister. We mall walked and each got just a few things. Nothing major, just relaxed. I required a soft pretzel, as I always do in Winnipeg, so we did that as well. We spent a couple of hours at the mall, but it was still the late afternoon when we hit a nearby Starbucks for a little coffee and cake pop date. It was delicious, and a really really nice time to just sit and chat. We don’t get on the phone too terribly often, though I’m very thankful every time we do make the time to call, because I love visiting with my sister. She’s pretty exceptional.
Once we got back home, we decided we weren’t hungry enough for supper yet, so we ducked over to Stefan’s parents place and lounged in their hot tub for a little bit. It was actually pretty perfect, since I forgot my pelvic support belt, and I was feeling fairly achy after walking the mall, even though I really hadn’t pushed it. But the hot soak felt great!!
This evening, we had an unbelievable fettuccini alfredo with caesar salad. I ate more than both Caity or Stefan. It was delicious!! We had dessert soon after, which I also managed to eat too much of. We watched a chick flick and rested our evening away. I feel so relaxed here. SO relaxed.
My trip comes to an end TOMORROW already, which feels crazy. CRAZY short visit, but its been refreshing and incredibly enjoyable! That being said, I do miss Brady and the littles. I was sent pictures of them all freshly bathed, as well as videos of Laela playing piano, insisting that she was playing from the heart rather than from the book 😉 I want to see some of that in person. And I will soon! But for now, I’ll enjoy my last few hours out here!
