Making plans--don't bother!

 My lazy do whatever you want day on Thursday turned out to be a last minute hit to every store in town grocery shopping trip.  We visited 4 different grocery stores Thursday afternoon looking for small tinfoil potpie tins as David had decided he would prefer apple pies to apple crisp.  No such luck but we found miniature loaf pans that were just about the right size, for the crisp.  

Friday was laundry day and my hour long massage.  There were a few minutes left at the end of the hour, and she gave me a foot massage.  Oh! Heaven!

Saturday we did make Apple Crisp, but only one batch.  David decided that there would be no sense in making 15 small desserts for the freezer, as he probably would never eat all of them. Then we went for our weekly shopping trip.  A bit of an anti-climax as there were only a few things on the list.  Unfortunately, apples weren't one of them.  The apples I was given are not in very good shape.  The rest of them will be thrown out today.  But--today I'm supposed to go back to phase one of my diet, and I need apples.  So, probably another shopping trip.  But, I decided that we could probably hit the grocery store early tomorrow morning after our doctor's appointment.  So I've given myself one day reprieve.  Not that I plan to go crazy.

Beyond the appt. at 6:30 tomorrow morning, I have no idea what the next week holds.  I haven't checked the calendar, although I guess I have to if I'm going to make up next week's pages in my BuJo.

In the mean time, I urge you both to stay safe.  No hot air balloon rides for the next while.

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...
