    Wow. I find it hard to believe no one has posted since the 8th. This was a hopping board two weeks ago.

    Wow. Talk about a nerve racking trip. Heading off to be judged by the clan. Hope you're not voted off the island.

    Sorry I haven't been on the boards lately, just getting last minute stuff done before the big China trip. Need to make sure elderly parents are all set up with what they need before we go. The carry ons and our shared checked luggage are sitting out in the living room and all sorts of little piles of stuff is gathering around them. First 3 nights are in a beautiful hot springs resort just outside of Beijing. Looking forward to that - private slate hot tubs that look out over the hot spring lake and gardens. Perfect for a winter soak after a climb on the Great Wall. Chunhuiyuan Hot Springs Resort.

    Totally been slacking on everything in my life lately. I struggle with depression and time change takes all of the wind out of my sails every year. Sucks for 2-3 weeks but I'm coming out of it finally so no worries. Steps have slacked. Haven't tracked food at all. Weight hasn't changed so that's good but I'm glad I'm getting back on track!!

    @canadjineh that looks amazing! And bravo on catching the bad guys!

    @jennifer_417 I hope everything goes well!!!

    Spring time change is the one that throws me for a loop. UGH! I hate suddenly losing an hour of sleep and take ages to recover from it.

    @cadajineh- that is absolutely gorgeous and sounds amazing!

    @bethanie0825 - I'm glad you're starting to feel better!

    Fall is tougher. I gain and hour of work. Spring I lose and hour of work so that makes me happy. 😊

    Watching the clock go from 0159 to 0200 and back to 0100 is soul crushing lol. We always work the time changes on my rotation

    I'm not sure how, but I always work the time changes as well. I guess it's better than it used to be. I used to end up on the fall rotation but not the spring rotation. :smile:

    Hmmm, that's probably why I like the fall time change too. It gives me an hour extra to do all my site checks AND I get paid an extra hour.
    Hubby & I are doing some loss prevention training for a large store (Canadian Tire) here tomorrow and then I have to work a full night shift - :s I am gonna be dead tired on Tuesday when I get back home to sleep.... and then I have a ton of stuff to do in that day before another patrol shift that night. Taking hubby along on Tuesday night to refresh his City Patrol training for when we get back from the China trip. He is in seasonal retirement from his window cleaning business so he flips over to Security during the winter. One of my co-workers just found out his wife is very sick (possible lung cancer and they can't operate due to heart attack or stroke likelihood.) He is taking compassionate leave for a while, so we will be working around that. Crossing my fingers for them.

    A smattering of snow today. Nothing that stuck to the road but enough to look beautiful. :smile:
