Hi this is the first week of my vacation and while I had hopes of accomplishing many tasks but on the second day of vacation I threw my back out so I've been dealing with low back pain. Advil helps a lot plus sleeping with a pillow under my knees. But on a more positive note I did get some things done.  I had some trees cut down and the plumber came out to fix my slow drains,unfortunately he had to make a return visit to repair a pipe which sprung a leak. I just hope that that  was the only rusted spot or I will be facing an expensive problem. Oh well, I can only hope. Tomorrow,  I leave for Toronto with Raquel-hope we have a good time. The weather looks like  rain for both days.
