Mom is Off Galivanting for the Summer (June 28, 2025)

Mom is flying out to Halifax today, her flight is at 1 pm.

So we were on the road by 7 am on our way to the city.

It's about a 3 hour drive to the city and with having to be there 2 hours early, I wanted to make sure we got there in plenty of time.

We ended up getting there in really good time and had about an hour to spare so we stopped in at Costco.

Mom wanted to do some Christmas shopping.

 I wanted to have a look at the tablets.
Mine is getting old and will need replaced soon.
I figured this would be a perfect time since I really like to use it on the plane and I know Freya will want to play too so she can use the old one and I can use the new one.

I ended up just going ahead and getting this one.

I saw this two pack of mens tank tops for 15 bucks which I thought was a great deal.
Jason has a couple Hurley tshirts and he really likes them.

This pack came with a black and a peachy color - I picked up a set for Jason.
He can use them for running.

Then I took Mom over to the airport, got the luggage dropped off then we sat and waited for them to come get her and take her to her gate.
I always get wheelchair assistance for her even though she can walk, if it was really far she'd get tired and if the line up was long and she had to wait, that would tire her out too.
Plus I am always worried that she might get confused and go to the wrong gate.

Last time she flew out it took almost an hour for them to show up for her but today they were there within a few minutes.
The guy was really nice - he said he'd stop by a water fountain so she could fill up her water.

So once she was off, I headed to do some shopping and errands
I had to get some keys made so that was stop one.

Then I just had a few things I was looking for, plane snacks, new bras and a case for my new tablet.

I spent the whole day shopping around the city and got most of the things I was looking for.

I stopped for Chick-fil-A for some supper before leaving the city right around 4 pm
I got home right around 6:30 got everything unpacked.

I was going to have the girls spend the night but Freya was at a sleepover with her friends.
Kody brought Eden over and we were just going to have her but she wanted nothing to do with Jason or I tonight, she was stuck right to Kody.

She had just woken up from a very long nap so Kody waited a bit thinking she might warm up but she did not and he just ended up taking her back home with him again.

So Jason and I had a quiet night.

I wasn't ready for bed when he went, I was feeling pretty wired.
I did have a matcha latte later in the afternoon and an energy drink and I just felt like I was buzzing, literally.

I went to bed at 12:30 but was still wide awake, I got back up at 1:30 and went out to the living room and tried watching tv because that puts me to sleep sometimes.
Not tonight, I tried soothing classical music, spa music, even the sounds of rain.
Nothing worked.
I was just kind of drifting off around 4 am and decided to go to bed.
I did fall asleep but I was so annoyed because I know I'm going to be so tired tomorrow and I really wanted to get out for a run tomorrow.

I might still be up for it, I guess we'll see.

That's all for today, until next time, be happy!
