Taking a break ...

Yesterday, Friday, was the last day of the March Break week.

Tuesday, Hans and I hung out with my friend C and her oldest boy. We were in Thornhill. Thursday, we went on a day trip with Y and her boys to Niagara Falls. We went to learn about how maple syrup is made!

Actually, I had planned to be in Ottawa with Hans. I really wanted to see KPF and this time, I thought I would include Hans so he could also benefit from spending some time with my dear friend. The trip didn't happen unfortunately. It was a surprise for KPF; so, at least, I didn't have to disappoint him. However, in a strange coincidence, he thought of me and we ended up catching up over a phone call. The gist of the call was that KPF thinks I might be happy pursuing a career in counselling!

Maybe one day, I will do that as well.

For now, it was just great taking a break with the boys and spending some time together.

Wednesday, ASid and I found another series to watch on Netflix. It was actually suggested by C after she read the last blog post about my struggles with inappropriate language.

I got to learn a new phrase, "kid before diagnosis". I hope I am quoting it accurately.

Overall, it was a great week connecting with the people I care about.

Recently, I have been so busy that I felt left out on some days. However, this break made me realize that I have to make an effort if it matters. If I care about being inclusive, I must include myself as well when opportunities arise, and take that break!

P.S. A few hours after I posted the above, Hans did his own recap of the March Break. His 2 favourite days were the days I did not mention. Monday was my brother’s birthday and my mom hosted a family dinner. Friday, Craigley took the boys to Comicon. It was their first and they had a lot of fun.

P.P.S. Like I always say, this blog is only one perspective on my life. If written from a different perspective, it would be something else!
