Again!? It's Sunday Again??!

 I guess it's true when people say that the days pass quickly when one is busy.  We've had two expensive grocery shopping trips in the past week, and I see another list has appeared with a couple of somewhat urgent items on it.  So that will probably be on the "to do" list for today. Except it's snowing and blowing and I'd much rather stay home.

Thursday, we ran several errands which left me exhausted and resulted in David taking a lengthy nap as well.  Then Friday we did a bit of power cooking.  With David having had the first extractions on his journey toward dentures and me on a no dairy, no caffeine diet, planning meals has become quite difficult.  So we made a big beef stew and used the smaller slow cooker to make some good quality pork with Diana Sauce that we ate for supper, leaving enough for a couple of future meals.  The stew was for supper last night, again leaving enough for several future meals.  The meat in both had been cut into very small pieces, to aid chewing.  We've also discovered the joy of muffins, bought in bulk and frozen.  But when I think about it the average muffin has about 400 calories.  Not so good for me.

Although I'm not finding much time for the studio, there has been some good progress with the quilt that was started in a class a couple of weeks ago.  No progress in "the big purge".  However, this week we took a full car load to the thrift store. So glad to see that go. It's been hanging around too long.  We also hit Walmart and I didn't buy any clothes!!  But, David did buy himself a walker, when we at Seven Oaks Wednesday.  Just like mine but blue.  The other option was bright pink.😖 Now we just have to take the receipt into Blue Cross and get all that money back.

Guess that's it for now.  Time to get dressed and wake David up.  Looks like he slept well last night.  Stay safe ladies because remember that I love you both.

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...
