Missing a day

 Getting ready to write this, I realized that I have no memory of Thursday.  I just asked David what we did, and he has no memory either.  Perhaps we were abducted by aliens for rude physical experiments  Well, there's nothing I can do about it.

I do remember talking to Cathy on the phone.  That may have been the highlight of the day.  Getting my days confused is a minor problem compared to confusing my weeks.  I seem to be living one week ahead of myself and have been for most of this month.  Thank Goodness for calendars and my BuJo.

But, I remember yesterday (Isn't that a song title?).  Gail arranged a coffee meeting with Dick and Vivian from Pinawa, then she, herself was almost 45 minutes late.  David was there and held his own.  It was a wonderful visit.  We've all vowed to work at maintaining the contact.  They are well. He has slowed down quite a bit, but she is still trucking along.  Like the energizer bunny according to Dick.  I'm sure you remember them, Beth.

Hearing about your effort to purge, Beth, I can only strongly encourage you to keep going.  Most people who set up a 30 or 100 day challenge set a minimum, but realistic, length of time per day to devote to it.  I set a time of one hour, but often went over that, and I did last the 100 days-- 3-4 times along, in fact.  Keep going. It's worth it, and you'll feel great both while you work on it and after you're done.  Every hour is a victory. Remember that anything you do related to the task counts, even if it is only taking a bag to the box at the end of the road.  I promised myself rewards such as starting a new project, or having a good drink that evening.  Finishing a project counted toward fulfilling my hour of working, so I won either way.  So, to me, setting up these small victories made the whole project more fun.

Our visit with Dick and Vivian interfered with the laundry process, so I have that to finish today.  My shows are not on PBS this evening, but I believe David has a football game, as he did last night, and may have tomorrow.  I may get some studio time, and plan to enjoy every minute of it.

Stay safe and have some fun, ladies.

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...
