Weekly retrospective

 This week I feel as though I'm running from mini-crisis to mini-crisis. No matter how I think my day is planned things move and change faster than I can react. More dental appointments.  Tuesday we were to the dentist for 8:45 am. Then home for an hour's sleep and off for an optometrist appointment at 12:10, for both of us, only to realize that there had been some confusion and we were almost an hour early. Dilation and scans and we were away just after 3:00.  We had planned to eat at the casino before the show we were to see.  Because of dilation we were travelling by cab, and had planned to take a cab to the casino so we could each have a drink during the show. So home we went from the clinic, had the cab wait while I went into the house to grab a different purse, and then off again to the casino.  Oh my, it felt so privileged to have a cab wait for me. While we enjoyed the show, "The Music of Neil Diamond" after awhile the noise got to us and we decided to leave, getting just to the door when the show actually did end.

Wednesday was my Divas meeting.  I went and enjoyed it, and will try to go again.  There was a bit of a kerfuffle at my Lorette group a couple of weeks ago.   Several members communicated with the lady from the municipality, lots of Private Messaging (PM) back and forth.  She was to go to the Lorette meeting this week to sort out what she could.  I was sort of glad to have an excuse not to go (the Divas) but also very curious about what might have happened. Regardless, Gail, another lady that we know and like, Doreen, and I are now considering attending one week in Lorette and the next week to a similar group in Landmark. They are trying to get this group started and Gail, who lives in Landmark has been attending for awhile.  I have no idea how this might work out, but I've lost my respect for three ladies in Lorette and this is affecting the pleasure I find in the Lorette meeting. But, if you've ever studied group dynamics you could predict something like this happening.  Finally, yesterday I forgot that Vivian was driving in from Pinawa to pick up my kitchen dishes. The last straw. I even wrote a lengthy blog bemoaning my feelings and fate.  Posted it.  Then remembered that we like to keep this blog fairy light hearted. So went back in and erased it.

You notice no mention of studio time in the above.  Nope.  None.  I've declared that we are not leaving the house until, at least, Monday We have food, and enough tv sets for both of us.  There should be no need to leave the house, and maybe I can visit the studio.  I hope so because I put my studio shirt on today.  😄

And that's my week.  Love to read about what you're both doing, and enjoy our phone calls.  I love you both so stay safe.  We need each other.

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...
