Snow is on the ground......!

 It's heavy in the trees and white everywhere but on the road and driveway.  Any that arrives before Oct31st usually melts away in my experience.  I sure hope that's true this time as our snow clearing contract doesn't come into effect until Nov 1st.

My doctor has put me on a diet of absolutely no dairy products.  I'm confused and dismayed.  I've relied on dairy products for about 75% of my protein intake ever since I discovered Dr Phil's diet.  The danger is relying too much on starches to replace the dairy protein, as David and I did many, many years ago when we experimented with Vegan-ism, and tried to delete meat from our diet.  So breakfast today was two small slices of pumpernickel with peanut butter and an handful of grapes.

Today, David and I have decided to go nowhere.  To just stay at a home and relax, or maybe do a little house work?  I have a list in my BuJo that could keep us busy for a week.  I would prefer to spend the day in the Studio, but that's not likely.  I did finish the EPP that I've been working on for the last 18 months or so.  It now needs to be finished as either a bed quilt or a wall hanging of some sort.  Truthfully, it will probably slowly waste away in the bottom of a cupboard somewhere, unless I find the ambition to do something else with it.  But I do need some other way to keep my hands busy while listening to the tv, (can't watch both) and have started looking at my drawer of other EPP projects that I've accumulated.  No! No!  Begone temptation!

Instead I should be working on finalizing the items I want to take to the craft show Nov. 25th.  There are no plans to make anything more, but there are a lot of items gathering dust that would be appropriate to take.

For the moment it would be best if I gave that housework priority.  Darn it.  Not really where I want to go but, at least, I could wash the dishes.

Worrisome that masks are now required for hospital personnel again.  Stay safe, ladies, even if we have to go back to wearing those darn masks.

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...
