My turn?

 In answer to Pati’s question, I received money from Gail, but I have heard nothing more from her or Darren (the seller). I guess I will wait. The good thing is that I do know Darren and will have no trouble getting together with him.  I have been to Brandon 3 times in 5 days. I went Thursday to the doctor, Saturday for a TB test (15 minutes) and back again for them to check my reaction to the test. They told me it would be 5 seconds, but I think they over estimated. They looked at my arm, said “it looks negative” and I left. I didn’t even have to pay for my parking!  I wasn’t there long enough. At least when I went Saturday they took pity on me and let me watch the curling on the TV in the dialysis room while I waited for them to check me just in case I reacted to the injection. . Rrain stopped in today on her way home from the Carberry Council meeting. She had a pair of solar glasses for me. I had the eclipse on TV, but I was able to run outside and watch the progress of the partial eclipse here.  Rrain asked about a memory she has of another total eclipse and I was amazed she remembered!  It was 1979, and she would have been only 3 1/2!  But her memory was right. We drove out of town and lay on the hood of the car to watch. I tried to clean up all the spilled sunflower seeds today. It’s still wet, but I piled it up and will pick it up when dry. I tried to rake some leaves but it is way too wet. I will wait until everything is dry and mulch them with the lawn mower. I put 3 bags in the car for Salvation Army and did some laundry. I sat outside and read for an hour and I am now sitting on my heating pad😜. I had a good sleep last night, but I think I will be in bed early just because I am sore. Life goes on♥️

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...
