We found spring

Well spring is finally here in Toronto and we are into the plus 20 and above weather now so I have been working a lot outside and in the garden and stuff, did grass seed last week and planted potatoes yesterday.
Today I weeded the garden and worked it all up so we are ready to plant tomorrow, started tomatoes two weeks ago and they are already coming up, about 2 inches high at this point.
The house is almost done and so far so great, I have refinished all the floors on the main level and they look fabulous if I do say so myself. It took a lot of work and I worked for over a week to get them just right, 2 coats of stain on all of them and then two coats of varathane on them after that. But it is so nice to save something from way back in 1905.
This weekend I am going to start on the stairs and try to get them done and then all that is left is to order our new counters, a nice burber carpet in the bedrooms and a couple small details to do , like moulding and stuff.
I have also painted all the ceilings, the entire main floor and the back bedroom, I have to paint the master room yet but that is fairly easy, just been too damn nice out this past week to spend in doors, Today was out in shorts and no shirt, Thank you for the glorious weather Toronto, I love you.
As far as our lives go ,we have been extremely busy and doing fairly well, Matt had his back surgery two weeks ago and is home and doing well, He is still a bit sore but I have to give him credit where credit is due, he has been up and about and walking as his doctor said to do, every day he goes further and further. Love the fact that he is not in as much pain and also that he is trying to get around on his own, the first week he was home, was a lot of work and he was so tired all the time.
I am feeling much better and my headaches are now only occasional, which is great, had many job interviews and am hoping to get something soon.
I just get frustrated when they don't let you know , either via email or a phone call that you do not have the position, it only seems like a common curtisey and is something as a former manager for many years that I practiced on a regular basis.
So that is our lives in a nut shell, May the weather be great where ever you are and may happy thoughts follow you in life always. Have a great day and thank you for reading.
