Saturday here and it's cold and windy

 

Thank Goodness I have no desire to head out but I did put the newspaper in the re-cycling bin after reading it. Otherwise I appear to be making myself crazy ( and David too, for that matter) overthinking what must be done before we move.  Scary, especially considering that we may have only two weeks or so notification of a possession date. But then I get reminded ( by several people)that we can take possession without moving in that day.  So I'm trying to teach myself to "Stop, Breathe, Relax".

Earlier this week I sent 4 smaller quilts to the charity I support. These were quilts that I've made, a couple I paid to have quilted and a couple I quilted myself.  It had never been my intention to donate them but things change, and actions change. The closed door and open window strategy.  The lady who picked them up told me that if I ever have fabric to get rid of, the charity can use every thing even scraps. "Oh, really? I'll keep that in mind". (Snort!)  Since then I've discovered two more quilts that should have gone along. That being said I have a pretty good idea there will be even more, and probably a couple of tubs of fabric.

The realtor didn't feel that we needed to do much more than clean up. As I look around just doing that appears overwhelming.  So my plan is to adopt the "eating an elephant" strategy--one bite at a time.  This weekend that bite is to finish the quilt for Denise's shower-May 5th.  The binding is prepared and just needs to be sewn on.  However, it's now about 2:00.  H'mmm?!

I'll let you know how it goes.  Stay Safe ladies.  You are loved.

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...
