# Week ending 2025-02-23 (Week 08)
Holidays! I visited beautiful Toronto during what locals called a time of “the most snow we’ve had in ages” ❄. It was both mind-blowing and shocking. I borrowed a proper winter jacket, but I don’t think I’ve ever been that cold in my life 🥶 definitely a new experience!
The wedding we attended and the time spent with family were absolutely marvelous and deeply fulfilling. 🥰
# Week ending 2025-03-02 (Week 09)
During the second week of our holidays, we made a stop on our way back to soak up the ☀ and enjoy the warm southern USA 🏖. It was all laughs until I came down with a high fever and realized I had caught a nasty flu that kept me in bed for the last five days of our trip. 🤒🤧💊
You know it can happen, but being ill far from home is never fun! ☹ Still, we made it back as scheduled, just in time for my partner to start feeling unwell on the returning day and my child to spike a fever over this weekend. On the bright side, at least they got to enjoy the beach every day!
