About all I can say about

 Your post Cathy, is that I was reveling in the thought today that it felt so good to have a day where nothing was going on and I could amuse myself downstairs.  Friday we went for pedicures again.  I picked what I thought would be a husky deep pink, but once the bottle was severely shaken it turned out to be a fluorescent red/orange.  Yesterday I met Gail for coffee after her stint at St. Norbert Market.  It was after 5:00 when I got home, but David wanted to go to Walmart, so off we go.  Got home just in time to turn on my Saturday evening shows, reconciling myself to a late supper, but there was a 15 minutes between shows, and got some chicken cooked, so all was well.  The episode of Midsumer Murders was one I had never seen, so--Bonus!  Evening ended with a treat considering my diet ( small treats are allowed once week, and I had 2 saved up)--A big glass of Southern Comfort over ice.  Oh my!  It was good.  Later I still had to take a Melatonin to get to sleep--a new drug from the Dr.'s appt Thursday.

Today, with no newspaper, I was ready to work earlier, and was able to spend most of the afternoon in the studio.  About 4:00, I made myself some coffee and then spent about 1 1/2 hours sitting outside reading.  Meanwhile David was working like a Trojan in the garden washing out garbage bins, and dealing with garden issues.

Tonight we both made ourselves supper, but worked along side each other in the kitchen.  A nice compromise with me dieting again.

At this point, we only have one appt. this coming week, Tuesday morning for a hearing check-up--long over due.  We'll see how that works out.

Stay safe, ladies and goodnight.

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...
