Describing life as it is...

 That is the best blog message yet...we should try to describe life as it is. Would you ever believe me if I actually did ...haha!

The comment about "bags of stuff to the Thrift Store" caught my eye. Yesterday I took the plunge and went into my clothes closet and tore it apart and had clothes flying all over the room with hangers going one way and pants going the other. It was time..long overdue actually. I could not move any of the apparel hanging in the closet as it was too packed and the hangers just would not move anymore. And since I have lost weight this past year, most of the clothes were no longer fitting well. I was tieing up pants at my waist with rope to keep them from falling down for heaven sake  (real classy eh?). And I did not need the work clothes I had still - suits and dress blouses and blazers. I tried on all the pants but with most of the blouses and tops I just took a good look at them and decided which pile they went into. Two bags went yesterday to the Diabetic Society Clothes Bin at the end of the street and I have another two bags set to go the same route (No Thrift Stores close by here) That was the first go at it but I am sure there are more that can be removed before I am done. Feels good 👍

A new store opened last week - the building has been in the renovation stage for well over a year. Almaguin Health and Wellness. I went to the web site to see what it was all about ( try yourself by logging on to that name and see what they are offering - amazing)  Many professionals on staff and I read all of their credentials on line and what services they offer. Now here is the rub... would I ever go to a place like that? Pati, you and Dave go, and Cathy, I am not sure about you but I suspect you might as well. The prices seem fair to what I am aware of around the area, but of course, I would not have that $$$ right now. But maybe some would be covered by benefits? 

Food for thought.

Now to bed.. cannot ever sleep but maybe one night I might. Take care and be safe as Pati reminds us...😂

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...
