Wow that's amazing news Mare!  I'm so glad you've booked it and why not spend money on the little luxuries in life if you have it   The train is easier than the stress of long distance driving, and staying over makes it feel like you're getting a little holiday.  Have you got someone to look after Chloe and Pugsley?  You must be so excited

I'm used to driving a few hours to see the boys as they never come anywhere near where I live, but it has to be done unless I want to miss out (which I don't lol).  I've even considered travelling further for my concerts and maybe one day I will.

My trip to NYC has been finalized.

My sister was dreading the drive and the whole parking situation and the whole there and back thing within 24 hours. So, instead, we're heading into the city via amtrack which will take us into Penn Station at around 3 in the afternoon. I booked a hotel right down the street from the theater for the night, (The OYO because, why not?) I mean if I'm spending money, I might as well spend money.  We head back the next morning at 10 am which will get us back here by 6.

On the train, I can sit in my wheelchair the entire time, so I don't have to worry about having to get into a seat and the hotel room is ADA which is another plus. Now the only thing left for me to do is buy a bracelet making kit and figure out how the hell to make one. lol

I know you guys are used to traveling to the boys or to see people you want, but this is pretty unlike me. Although I guess driving all the way down to Nashville from Bethlehem by myself for Brian's golf thing was pretty adventurous of me too, but I was a lot younger then.

I enjoy coffee but only cold. People think I'm crazy because I make a pot of coffee, let it sit all day long and then drink it cold the next day. lol

I don't like tea either (or coffee), but I like sandwiches and cake lol.  I had a can of Sprite instead

Yes I feel like Severance could have ended there as well, but I'm so glad there will be a series 3 which I'm sure will be just as weird.

There will definitely be a season three of Severance. I felt like it could have ended there, even though it would have been an open ending. The show is weird enough that I am sure there is going to be a lot of unanswered questions anyway. lol

I'm glad you enjoyed your little break. The pictures you posted of the afternoon tea looked delicious. I have always wanted to do that, even though I'm not a fan of tea. The whole idea is so cute to me.

Hopefully the traffic won't be that bad. I thought Easter was a week earlier than it is. I was surprised it's the third Sunday of the month.

That's good that your reader thought of the chapters as episodes.  I think with really long chapters they are like an episode of a TV show if you're really into it and enjoying the story.

I finished watching Severance last night, I wonder if that's it or will there be another series?  It was unusual and weird but I enjoyed it lol.

I enjoyed my couple of days off work too.  Went out for afternoon tea with my daughter, my mum and sister and that was nice and the cakes were delicious.  So then I had to go for a long walk to try and work them off lol.

Have fun at the talent show Julie, nearly Easter break too

We've got a wedding to go to that week, so I'm not looking forward to the drive as the roads will be clogged up and it'll probably take all day to get there.

I know that's just me being ultra paranoid. That would be the absolute worst possible outcome, but it's good knowing he has had bronchitis for the last week and has still made every performance including stage doors, so hopefully that means something. lol

Enjoy your time off, Steph! hopefully you'll get some nice going for a walk weather. I know how much you enjoy that.

Have fun with the talent show! And yay only two weeks from break! Does that mean it's also two weeks until Easter? I'm having the hardest time with dates this year.

Yesterday one of my readers referred to my chapters as episodes and I loved that! She said, I didn't have time to read last week so I get to read two episodes back to back! I want the chapters to feel like they are watching an episode so that felt really good!

Yay Mare, I'm so happy for you.  I hope he comes out after the show, and I also hope it's not an understudy as that would be awful.  But I'm glad your sister is doing this and you don't have to worry about the animals this way, or accessible hotels etc.

Julie, good to hear your car is back and working as it should now and that it's nearly spring break and you can relax after a busy school month.

I've got a couple of days annual leave to take before April so am off tomorrow and Monday, so that'll be nice.  I've got no plans, just see what the weather is doing and decide then lol.

OMG, that would be terrible if it was the understudy instead of Kieran!  Fingers crossed that doesn't happen!

Yes, the talent show is next week!  That always occupies my time this time of the year, but it's my favorite part of the school year, so I don't mind.  It gives me something to look forward to in March, which is otherwise one of my least favorite months, too.  Two more weeks until spring break (after this week)!

Thanks! It was her idea, so I was on board with it. I think she just got sick of me talking about it all the time. lol Whatever works! I am hopeful that he'll still continue to go out and talk to the crowds after the shows and that there's no understudy for this performance. I am pretty sure my sister will murder me of he's not there.

I'm glad your car is running smoothly. Is this when the talent show happens? Are you still in charge of that? Hopefully those three weeks speed by for you! March went by really fast, which is great because I have always hated March the most out of all the months. Glad to hear you finally finished your chapter. I'm sure your readers will be happy when you post it!
