Just plodding along…..
It remains cool and wet, such unusual conditions for this time of year. Thus far we have only gone on one walk. Hopefully more soon. Meanwhile Colin has had two jobs this week which is abnormal for him to be working so soon once we return and we have a few more on the books. We haven’t even been home a full week. Meanwhile I have opened all of the mail, dealt with a few issues and have almost finished the company books. I had done to the middle of October before we left and only have to go till the end of February which is our company year end. I need to balance each month and then do a full year reconciliation before sending it off to our accountant in Vancouver. Once that is all done I will do our personal taxes which will only take a few hours if that. Our personal annual taxes are based on the company taxes so I need to do all three no later then April….yikes, I just actually looked at the calendar! I really need to get them done asap as I need 24 hours to courier them to Vancouver. Hopefully be the end of the day Monday I will be done.
Meanwhile we are toying with a few ideas and plans and that has had me online instead of applying myself to my business tasks. But so much more fun than the work I should be doing. Not much news to share at the moment. Once I have more time I will do some Mexico/Isla posts that I never got around to. It is so very quiet around here 🙁 We miss our girls so much but need to take some time for us and determine what direction our future will take.
Mommio is doing somewhat better, although she had a fall two nights ago. She can walk about 100 meters with her walker and can do a few small tasks towards dressing herself. It appears that she will be heading to an extended care facility. We are still working towards getting the medical staff to put her hearing aides in every morning as we are certain that will help connect her to the world and the world to her.
Thanks to a good neighbor here I now have some borrowed socks to keep my feet warm. I do not own any closed toe shoes. I love these toe socks and have ordered two pair for myself. They are perfect for my Mephisto sandals and my walking shoes.

Cute socks.
Funky!!!
Love your socks.
Love your new socks lol. Soon enough you will be able to wear your sandals sockless. We had our first nicest day of the year yesterday, sunny all day and it got up to 15. Took Mom and Buddy for a walk and hubby got loads of yard work done including spraying the moss so it dies off and grass grows again. I know it sure sucks losing your fur babies but at this point in your life a few years of animal-less travel might give you some flexibility in terms of travel plans. Maybe Europe? Maybe Australia? The world is your oyster. I just got our personal taxes finished – I use turbotax and it is so pain free. I got our corporate taxes done super-early this year but we had to wait for all our dividend slips outside our RRSPs in order for me to finalize our personal taxes.
We found with my mother-in-law that it was essential that she have her hearing aid and glasses every day. The battery life for the hearing aids is limited so we bought great quantities at Costco and had staff change the battery every day. Perhaps it would help if her doctor wrote an order to staff for these things to be done daily. It’s so hard to coordinate care from a distance; my heart goes out to you both.
SNOWING HERE AGAIN. WE HAVE HAD MORE SNOW DAYS SINCE THE 7TH. WE HAVE MORE SNOW/RAIN IN THE FORECAST UNTIL THE 27. ALL THOSE DAYS THE FEELS LIKE TEMPS ARE BELOW FREEZING AS IS EACH NIGHT. RIDICULOUS. MY ONLY SHOES ARE MY HOLY CROCS. WE NEED TO HEAD BACK SOUTH. HIGHS IN THE 90S THEN A FEW DAYS OF 100.
KNOW YOU ARE MISSING YOUR KIDS. AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS PLOD THROUGH EACH DAY. FORTUNATELY YOU HAVE EACH OTHER FOR COMFORT.
LOTS OF HUGS.
Glad your neighbor helped you out and you have such a colorful way to cover your toes and keep them warm. Had to put socks and sneakers on for one day and by early evening my toes were begging to be released from the shoes. I do love sandal weather year round.
