Prepping for Vacation (Feb.27, 2026)

I planned to clean out my inbox today at work and get a start on payroll because I'm going to have to do it while I'm on vacation but of course, a bunch of other stuff came up so I didn't get everything done at work that I wanted.

I was trying to run reports for an audit and they were so slow, they were taking forever so I didn't get them all done.

Oh well - I tried.

When I went home for lunch, I packed my suitcase.

I had to pack one for Palm Springs then another for Calgary because I'll be heading straight there when we fly in from Palm Springs.

We got the house cleaned up and the garbage taken out and everything then we headed to the city.

I left work a little early to do so and I'm glad I did because the weather started getting worse as we were driving in.

It was snowing and blowing so the conditions were bad, poor visibility.

We took separate vehicles because Jason will be driving home when we get back and I'll be heading straight to Calgary.

We checked into our hotel, Four Points by Sheraton.

That particular one in Leduc/Nisku has the most amazing beds and bedding and pillows - I just love it.

Then we went out for some supper.

Jason got the club sandwich with clam chowder.

He also got a small chef salad.

I got the pot roast which came with potatoes, gravy and carrots.

It was all really good, except for the clam chowder.

When we got back to the hotel, I went and hopped on the treadmill to get the rest of my steps in.

It took me nearly 40 minutes.

Then back at the room, I logged into my work account and finished running the audit reports that I was working on earlier today.

It took me a while but I managed to get them all run.

Our flight leaves at 7 am in the morning which means we will need to get up at 4 am to get ready so we pretty much just went to sleep.

We checked out the weather in Palm Springs and it looks like it will be high 20's even possibly 30C there tomorrow and I can't wait to get out of this snow and cold and into the sunshine and heat.

Got all of my steps in again - yay me.

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