Trying to catch up with myself

 

Oh Cathy!  Jim having a bit of a blackout and falling is worrisome.  I hope he's willing to have it checked out, regardless of how minor the bruises are.  Everybody our age should treat falls with no obvious reason seriously.

This has seemed like a very busy week, but a lot of that is catching up with the housework.  I've also been trying to follow my diet, yet again, and have been doing well--so far.  David is being very good about looking after his own meals, so much so that I quite willingly try to do all the clean up.  But, the hair cut that I desperately need is at the bottom of the list. However, I'm not ignoring self care.  Gave myself a mini-pedicure this morning, and I feel very virtuous about it.  The haircut?  Maybe next Friday.

We had a bit if extra money this month, thanks to the casino, and I always believed that if you have a windfall--big or small, give yourself a treat with a small part of it.  (It says this in the guidelines for lottery winners).  So I've been doing a little shopping on the internet.  At the back of my mind--(I know, I know, I said I wouldn't worry about anything more than a week away)--I'm wondering how much of my studio I'll be able to take with me, when we move.  I've been enjoying my EPP for several years, and everything I need for it, with the exception of certain fabrics, can be contained in one rolling cabinet.  I'm also expecting that we may well rent a storage locker for a bit, until we know what things we can do without.  Some extra fabric could be stored there.  So, I've been cruising EPP sites on the internet, including stores and Amazon.ca.  I have now bought three very complex patterns, including the pattern, the templates and the papers for two.  The papers for the third one were priced at over $300.  Not going there.  I'm quite excited.  TulaNova is just about finished, and I have the reassurance that there is a waiting list for this type of work.

Well, I got up this morning, had my breakfast while reading my paper, then said to myself " I have the whole day ahead of me with nothing on my "to do" list.  How great is that?!  Then I looked at the clock--1:10.  Well, I have half a day ahead of me.  Life is still great.

Love you both.  At our age I still feel right in saying--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...
