car? got it...
house? got it...
Xmas off? nope...
unfortunately being in health care means that you have to work through holidays. this year will be spent at work during the day and huddled in the house with my family at night. everyone has a different idea of what Christmas is all about. for me it's my family getting together with some good food, funny stories, and some embarrassing games as well. this year the house is decorated and awaiting the arrival of some very special guests; excitement is growing. How will you be spending your Christmas holidays? At home with your family or away?
It is not yet the official winter season and we have already had several centimetres of snow here in Toronto. In mid-November is when we prepare ourselves for the winter blast that will last for a couple months. First, the cars get a complete wash, claybar and wax job. For my car in specific, headlights and the front bumper is switched out and the original factory ones are put back on. But the most important is putting on your winter tires. Remember, the best all seasons are still worse than the worst winter tires. Second, the water has to be turned off, all the summer garden tools and equipment gets stored away. All the winter essentials are brought out (shovels, salt/sand) Thirdly, stocking up! The one that is always neglected, being prepared! Not just your car, but also your house. Gas stoves, flashlights, candles, extra blankets, canned food, water, batteries, radio!
But remeber to give yourself extra time for travel, have patience and leave extra space.
