A day of floating

I've been on leave from work for the past little while and have done some stuff here and there, a lot of 2025 planning, (financial things mainly) and quite a lot of work around the house plus some other things I don't want to talk about here. It's been pretty relaxing though, and while not much of an exciting nature has happened I've been pretty content with my time off and what I've achieved so far.

Today was a super cool and chilled day; my partner and I spent it together looking at things we normally don't get time to look at and we had all the time in the world day to do it; that's rare for us.

We looked at a couple new cars we're considering for my partner, more to either cross them off the list or confirm that they belonged on there for further research down the track; we won't be buying for a while yet but narrowing them down now will make it easier later. It was good because the dealer representativea we saw were really friendly and non-pushy. We hit some homemaker centres looking for some stuff furniture stuff for our BBQ/alfresco entertaining area and for inside too. It was nice browsing around and we actually picked up a couple things at really great discounts.

We ate lunch together and then I wanted to hit the camping/outdoor stores so we went to Anaconda, BCF and Macpac to see what we could see and...yeah I bought a couple things.

When we got home I had a parcel from America which I'd been waiting for these last several weeks, a new handgun holster, and was pleased it actually made it through customs to be honest. I got to work setting it up for the gun and getting it mounted on the duty belt and may do a little post about it, or not, but I was really happy to see how well it worked and am keen to try it out on the range.

Overall, it was a really nice day with no need to rush around and no real schedule or plan...we just floated about and by the end of the day seemed to have achieved a lot.

I almost always have something to do and limited time to do it so days like today are welcome. It was productive even though there was no plan but even had we only managed to achieve half of what we did I'd say the same. A good day all round.
