Not much to report here

 It's been a week since my last post and most of that time has been occupied trying to talk, breath or sleep.  Yep, caught one humdinger of a summer cold at the sale last week--the kind that has one wandering around, all day, in a nightie, asking if it's bed time yet.  Not that the time bothered me, I slept whenever I felt like it.  Started feeling  a little better on Thursday, but Friday morning David announced that he's caught it.  I got the laundry started Friday morning, and tried to start some sort of work in the studio, but ended up dozing in front of the my little tv instead.  Between the two of us, we got the most important laundry done--sheets, underwear and shirts--and a quick trip to the grocery store and pharmacy, but I can't remember if that was Thursday or Friday--probably Thursday.  I didn't even get out of the car, just sat there while David went in.  By Friday, my cold was worse again, although not quite as bad as before.  None-the-less, other than cooking some meat for supper, (just meat, nothing else. We've run out of bread and I didn't want to, nor dare to, serve instant potatoes again) I just sat and did some EPP--all day.

Today, I should try to finish the laundry--maybe.  It would be good if we could get out to buy bread, but I may not suggest it.  I honestly think I would rather make biscuits to go with the prepared meatballs I took out of the freezer.

So how do I put a positive spin to this?  Since neither of us has felt like eating, my weight is down 4 lbs in just a week.  Now to keep it off. We have now decided that it will be a good thing if we both had a spare set of sheets, and will be looking into this asap. This has been an ongoing discussion, and it's good to have made a decision.  Progress has been made in my EPP.  It is about half done, and I'm looking at the home stretch now.  But it's too soon to be looking for another project, so I don't have to worry about that.  We have kept the kitchen tidy.  This is a big deal to me.  It even has its own line in my BuJo.  I think that in my own mind, I'm an optimist.  After all, I still buy lottery tickets.

Stay safe, ladies, and avoid those pesky summer colds.

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...
