Middle of The Week Musings

Life around here is pretty ho hum lately.  Except that I have worked full time hours this last week and the old body is feeling it.  Since I really haven't worked much in the last six weeks.
Yesterday was a much nicer day at work, thankfully.  Now, I am done until next week. 

We had more snow most of the morning, although it didn't amount to much.  And they are saying highs near 50 by the weekend. 

Have just stayed home today.  Getting laundry done.  Scrapbooking a little.  Lounging in the sweat pants. Quite happy to just putz around. 

Taking care of getting new tags for the rig.  And a phone plan for my big trip. 

Heading "DownUnder" in 3 weeks with my sister.  We have been chatting back and forth getting things in order.  This will be a trip of a lifetime!!  It has been on my bucket list for a long, long time.  I need to do it now!  We start in Auckland, NZ . 
The camera is already to go.  Actually taking 2 camera bodies with 3 lens. 
Making a list and checking it twice.
