Too much going on!!

 We seem so busy this week that we have to write a list for every day, just so we don't forget something we have to do.  

Yesterday, we went to Starbucks for breakfast, and both ate oatmeal.  Ah, well, to each his own.  Since it was more of a brunch, we then went shopping, and ended up in Walmart, where we bought a new vacuum cleaner--for David.  He tried it out before supper, and really likes the way it works, so plans to send the old one out to the garage for use there.   Then we went to a small restaurant in a little mall on Munroe, called the Ramallah Cafe.  The specialty there is Middle Eastern food.  I had a Falafel platter, and David had a 1/2 chicken platter, both served with rice and hummus, but I also had Greek Salad and pickled turnip on my platter. We both ate our fill and left a lot of food on the plate.  Then back home, where we called a cab and headed for the casino for the evening.

Needless to say we slept in this morning.  So it was up, a quick breakfast and on the road to the group in Loretta for the afternoon.

Tomorrow we are having brunch with David's sister. Then 3-4 errands to run, finishing with the library, where there are 4+ books waiting for me, on top of the ones waiting here at home.  Friday, laundry day, will almost feel like a relaxing day.   But then, Saturday, Loren and amber are going with us to tour the assistive living place on Panet Road, just North of Concordia.  This is run by the same group that operates the Personal Care Home that David's Father spent time in. It's also the place my friend, Shirley, lived in for awhile, so I'm somewhat familiar with it.

But, I have to wonder if it's better to be busy seniors, or to be stuck at home, as we were during the Covid shutdown.  I do have to say that the housework was better done while we were under shutdown, but then I never was a fan of housework.

With all that's going on, I haven't had a chance to take any studio pictures.  Probably not going to happen today either, nor perhaps tomorrow.  All I do know is that this evening I expect to be vegging out in front of the tv.  Wish me well, and stay safe.

The energy-sucking garage sale panic is over.

  We both made it through the day without faltering, very much looking forward to a good nap once things were over.  But then were so high couldn't sleep.  Both Loren and Amber were there to help us, with Amber stopping at Tim's for breakfast on her way.   I was up and immediately dressed at 7:00 (Omg!  It even hurts to be able to say that)  Then off in the car to set up 5 signs.  Of course, each stop one has to find a place to park, get out of the car, place the sign, and reverse the process.  That finished, I parked in the mall across the way, pulled my walker out of the car, and trudged off home.  I was so glad to have the walker during the day, mainly because the float was hidden in the small zipper compartment in the walker and I sat on it most of the day.  We moved the patio table and umbrella to the front yard.  Amber and I spent most of the day there, while Loren and Dave spent their time in the garage, until later in t...

Baking

  Yesterday I forgot to mention that I've become concerned about how much money we've been spending on muffins.  So I decided to try baking them on my own.  We got rid of all my baking pans at the garage sale so had to make a trip to Dollarama for a new one.  It's silicone and soft and wiggly, but also dishwasher safe.  I've made some Blueberry muffins that didn't rise very well.  Turned out the baking powder was over a year past it's "best before" date.  Went out and bought more. I've found recipes on-line for Banana Chocolate Chip, Chocolate, and another Blueberry that uses frozen berries rather than thawed--great--as all of mine are Frozen.  I'm also going to look for a recipe for Bran, but not today.

Yes. It is Sunday again

  Time keeps passing. Faster and faster every day. We had freezing rain last night and this morning but it seems to have stopped for now, but that damp chill goes right through me!  Lucky and Ally are both sleeping so is almost like having time to myself. I did walk Lucky this morning but we stayed off the road. We went around the trail cause it wasn’t icy. Less dangerous for both of us. I snuggled down this weekend but I will have to venture out tomorrow.  Hopefully the roads will be clear. They don’t look bad right now so it is promising. I get my flu shot on Wednesday and Ally has a vet appointment on Friday. And I’m going to call for a lawyer appointment tomorrow.  Chloe is going to have her “old people” birthday party on the 18th. Kik and I will go together. And I told Kik I would go to Winnipeg with her on the 14th. I hate the time change. I was awake very early this morning, even though Lucky stayed sleeping until 6:30!  It’s just going to be an extra lon...
