Taking a quick break and a coffee

 Good morning,

Not planned but nevertheless my chore for today is to clean up around the front door and shelf unit, stand and top of piano etc. When i went to take Bailey out at midnight last night i was confronted with the floor coat hanger fallen across the entrance way and on top of the bench where i sit to put my boots on ... and all the "stuff" stored on top of the shelf unit spread all over. Yes, I blamed the cats for their night adventures. But in a way it could have been destiny as I have been haunted with needing to do this job for quite awhile. 😒 So I forge ahead. 

It is actually too cold to go out still except to take the dogs just close by to do their thing. I wonder if I have shared my concern about the  light at the corner of the our street and the main road. For almost a year or half it has been out - the Village needed two outages reported in order to call in the Electric firm to fix. I finally found another light out up the street so was confident to complain again. The Company did come to fix it but it never worked properly so I complained again. This morning they were out there with their trucks and hydraulic lift and I spoke with them...they decided to change the whole mechanism rather than try to troubleshoot. Time will tell if they were successful but i shall be very happy to have the light functioning properly - all the time.

My coffee is done and my work beckons...Hope you both have a nice day... take care XX 💕

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...
