Shower and Reactions

 Good day, 

I was happy to read about your attendance at the Shower. And glad to hear that you went to start with, and that you enjoyed the event. And not to dwell on your comments about reactions Pati, but I am well aware of how I have the tendency to create my own stress. I, too, tend to build up my worry and woes to point of physically feeling out of control. I have to watch myself carefully. Not that I go out much, but even with every day occurrences things can quickly get out of proportion. My mantra for this year is upper most in my mind at all times (Lighten up, just enjoy life, smile more, laugh more, and don't get so worked up about things) And please, please, I keep telling myself, acknowledge what is going on in your head, listen to yourself, and gain control. Just reading your comments actually helped me to realize "all shall be well"...😉

It appears to be an inside day today - maybe get another block sewn? Raining and raining ......I am about to go check the mail, and then settle in with a coffee, and a piece of chocolate cake I found in the freezer ( thank goodness I had saved some frozen for the right moment haha! ) I was out to the Dentist early for a cleaning appt (one never gets to see the actual Dentist anymore) and having paid that bill, I look forward to taking the car tomorrow for oil/maintenance and changing the tires to summer ones. While I am there, I plan to look at what is available as our lease is soon due and I am getting all sorts of messages from the dealership to Come on down...

Look forward to Friday and our video call 😁  Take care

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...
