Staycation

Happy BC Day to all you BC folk out there.

I do love long weekends and I do love getting away but there is something about a staycation that’s more relaxing as you don’t have to deal with the overpriced gas prices, the long traffic jams on the hwy and making sure you packed everything you need for your trip aka the bug spray.

This would have been a great get a away weekend for me if my plans did fall though, I was asked if I could spare for a friend’s team and also was invited to my best friends mom’s wedding. I’m sad that I turn down the wedding invite (but I’m seeing them for 9 days in November), this was all before I found out that I wasn’t need after all. Though this made my wallet really happy that I wasn’t going anywhere.

What did I do with my Staycation?

- Relaxed at home,
- Tackled a few chores I haven’t been able to do since I haven’t been home
- Went out on a date,
- Missed practice due to sleeping in / and idiots on the roads (couldn’t get anywhere)
- Worked on PGN (this site) and on two other sites I run.

What do you do on long weekends? Get out of town or stay home?

Eat Sleep Paddle

Been getting a lot of text messages asking where have I been lately?

:paddle2: It just seems like since Fathers Day weekend all I’ve been doing is heading to work, dragon boat practice, pilates (if I can make it) and spending my weekends at regattas after regattas. In a 7 weekend span I would have done 6 regattas but thankfully I was only sparing for 2 other teams and they didn’t need me so I get those weekends to just attend practice and sleep in my own bed (something I do miss when traveling). So by the time I get home I’m just wiped and I barely have the energy to check my email let along blog.

Don’t get me wrong but I love racing and mini paddling vacations but when it’s back to back like this it wipes you out and the additional heat stroke over the weekend didn’t help (I was doing everything correctly to avoid it and still got it :ugh: ).

In none paddling news: I got promoted at work …. er ….. well just for this week as my supervisor is on holidays, which is alright until you look at how much work I’m covering (my job and all her job/responsibility).

So that’s what happening in my world as of lately, hows it going with you?
