of course make the semi annual trip to see my tattoo artist.\u00a0 The exciting thing about buying my ticket is that I\\&#8217;m leaving during the construction holiday which I\\&#8217;m fairly certain that Quebec is the only province to have this&#8230;\u00a0 Which means everyone and their mother is going to be traveling so I\\&#8217;ve been watching the coach Canada website for WEEKS now waiting for them to offer tickets for July.\u00a0 FINALLY they updated their website and I was able to buy my ticket.\u00a0 Since I bought a non refundable ticket it cost $42.89 which is great &amp; affordable!\u00a0 In light of the economy Greyhound is offering HUGE discounts if you buy your ticket 14 days in advance, as in 50% off the price so score another one for me!\u00a0 The less I spend on travel, the more money I can spend on my right sleeve!\u00a0 So I snatched up my ticket right away because of course the higher the demand for that trip the more the price goes up.<\/p>\n<p>So I have my vacation and my stay-cation booked as well since my mom, sister, nephew &amp; Aunt will be driving me back to Montreal, so much for relaxing&#8230;\u00a0 Don\\&#8217;t get me wrong I love my family &amp; I enjoy having people over at my house&#8230; However its exhausting!\u00a0 My time in Ontario is pretty much owned by everyone &amp; then I have to trek back home &amp; play hostess\/tour guide.\u00a0 So I\\&#8217;m going to need a vacation from my vacation\/stay-cation.\u00a0 I have some nice things planned and thankfully the ex husband and I are on good terms &amp; he\\&#8217;ll take Dustin for the night so we can go out and not feel guilty about it.\u00a0 That however depends on whether or not Sandra &amp; Dustin actually come this year with us.\u00a0 Dustin is going to the <a href=\\\"http:\/\/www.timhortons.com\/ca\/en\/goodwill\/childrens_about.html\\\">Tim Horton\\&#8217;s children\\&#8217;s camp<\/a> in <a href=\\\"http:\/\/www.timhortons.com\/ca\/en\/goodwill\/campbellsville.html\\\">Kentucky<\/a> for 10 days and then would be leaving 3 days later for Montreal.\u00a0 I\\&#8217;m not sure which teacher nominated Dustin for this camp adventure but I owe them a huge heartfelt thank you because Dustin is such a sweet boy &amp; he deserves it.\u00a0 Sandra\\&#8217;s up in the air because she\\&#8217;ll need someone to Watch Chelsea on Fri, Monday &amp; Tuesday since my brother in law has to work.<\/p>\n<p>So mom\\&#8217;s 50th birthday is slated for the 18th &amp; my tattoo appointment is booked (tentative) for the 22nd.\u00a0 That might change, going to call Time &amp; see if I can get in earlier because he too is leaving on vacation for 3 weeks the next day. \u00a0 Then finally on the 27th its off to McGill to start my much needed catching up on dental work.\u00a0 So its going to be pretty insane this summer, have a lot going on and very little time to actually get it done.\u00a0 Things have been insane as of late, I somehow got caught in the middle-ish of someone Else\\&#8217;s drama but that\\&#8217;s a manageable situation.\u00a0 My hours at work will likely get chopped for the summer, its only for 2 months but once I get started on my dental work that\\&#8217;s going to suck up a large majority of my extra income.\u00a0 Thank God my mom\\&#8217;s hooking me up with a Visa, I have to go to a bank branch of her\\&#8217;s here and send them my signature and what not.\u00a0 Its so worth it though!\u00a0 It SO nice to be able to eat semi- normally, my mouth is much happier these days!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK so buying a ticket to go to Ontario isn\\&#8217;t *that* exciting&#8230;\u00a0 The downfall to being poor-ish: Your vacation time and funds are generally spent going to visit the family twice a year.\u00a0 While I have friends that live across the world and have no problems with me darkening their doorstep (or so they say [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,13,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life-as-i-know-it","category-random-things","category-work"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/modologyworld.net\/steph\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
