69. take time out for myself
This past weekend we planned nothing in advance and just went with the flow. It was really great. It started with Schnitzel dinner at the German club and included a play date with my two nieces and sister and brother-in-law, the gtown, a haircut, 2 movies and lots of Olympics! It was a great weekend and it was so nice to have free time and enjoy it with family and friends.
73. Take part in a traveling camera project
I sent to camera to Vancouver and panicked for a while that the camera got lost in the mail but it made it there eventually! The camera has traveled from Vancouver and is now in Chicago. I am thrilled that the project is *knock on wood* working and hopefully it will continue to go well!
74. Visit Toronto [1/5] – I have a visit booked!
Looking forward to flying on Porter to go for a weekend in Toronto – good times!
