It’s Friday. I had things to write about yesterday but as I was off with a sick baby Tuesday and Wednesday, I was so busy I didn’t have time to write.
So I thought, seeing as I am so thankful it’s Friday, I would list the other things I am thankful for today.
Fridays
Fridays mean a relaxing day at the office where I can get some writing and planning done for the following week.
Fridays also only one day before I am home full time with my little guy.
Fun assignments
Next week I am going to Marble Slab Creamery in downtown Toronto. I am going to create my own ice cream flavour, which will be available at the store for the month of May. In June, I will find out how many people enjoyed the flavour of ice cream I created. I also get to interview the owner of the creamery to learn all about ice cream. How exciting and fun is that?
Weekends
We get to sleep in. My little guy and I have to get up at around 5 a.m. Monday to Friday. On the weekend, he gets to sleep in to what would likely be his normal wakeup time of about 7:30 a.m.
Weekends also mean there is no real rushing in the morning. We play in bed, we don’t rush out of our pajamas, we play outside, we play inside, we read, we colour, we have fun.
Sunshine
It’s supposed to be in the double digits and sunny this weekend. Bring on spring.
Friends and family
We are off to visit an old friend and then have a sleepover at my parents. It might mean pancakes with real maple syrup in the morning and a long, hot shower while the baby plays with Nana and Popa.
Kindness
My boss did a nice thing for me. I received a thank you letter for an article I wrote about pottery and another that offered thanks to freelancer, Maria Tzavaras, who wrote a piece about heritage trees. I received word that Maria and I won best online series for a three-part series we did at Christmas. I ‘met’ a woman who made my day when I apparently made her’s.
It’s been a good week, sick baby or not.

Marble slab is yummy but VERY EXPENSIVE! I'm guessing that since you are doing a piece on it, that you are getting a free sample? We have one in Barrie that opened up last spring by one of the teachers at our school. I took the boys once to support her, and came home $20 (!!) poorer for only two single scoops and two kiddie cones! And that was with no extras either. You get one flavour of ice cream and one addition (candy, fruit, etc). It was good, but not fabulous. I much prefer the ice cream that we get at the waterfront. Have fun with that though!
I am all about ice cream, as you know, so I am super jealous!
I hope E is all better now and you have a great weekend!
Cheers :-)
