Weekly Musings of the 28th

Perfect thing to do today!  You know when you switch out stuff you planned for one day with another day and the reason you did it came true.  Makes you feel pretty smart.  Yesterday we normally do house chores and Friday we run a few errands and this Friday we had planned to go to the reserve for hubby's stuff and some gas for the car.  It was windy yesterday but the ground was bare and dry here with no ice but they were still calling for snow.  We decided it was better to head out yesterday, even if people here were silly shopping like there are never any other sales in the year.  If I had a quarter for every store that said they were having a black Friday sale nearly every month of the year, I would be able to buy that condo.  

So, in spite of the high wind off we went and this morning there was ice and snow on the ground and I see people slipping.  Smart move on our part.  Yup, feeling pretty pleased with myself.  Checking out the gas prices on the way - the highest out on the highway, $1.39.9 a litre, in the town next to the reserve, $1.30.9 a litre and at our little place we go to $1.12.8 a litre.  Yup, definitely worth the drive since we have to go there for hubby anyway.

So hubby got the car serviced and the snow tires put on so we are good to go if needed although much of the time we postpone until roads are clear.  At least I don't have to go out in it because mom always insisted she needed something during a blizzard (even though I knew she didn't).  I don't miss that at all.  

Finished off another puzzle and this one was a bit of a challenge but I really wanted to see the finished picture.

Lots of shading to work through but focusing on one cat at a time for me was the way to go.  Reminded me of Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.  

Still managed a walk every early morning but today and I figure if I walk 30 minutes for at least 330 days and miss 35 because of snow and ice, I am good and I am betting it is even less because most days by the afternoon my walking path is clear and dry.  

So next week I will be seeing the Naturopathic Doctor for all the blood work results and the recommendations to keep me healthy for the next while.  I am really looking forward to finding out what he thinks.  I mean I know what I need to do to eat better and I am working on that but to know what food allergies that might be working against me is great!

Today I am going to enjoy Walking Alice's video of the Macy's Day Parade because she always does a great job and posts it the day after.  

 This weekend is the first Sunday in Advent so the Christmas tree will be coming out much to Tigger's joy as well as the other decorations.  Even though I see them all over the streets and homes I refuse to put anything up until Advent starts.  Same with Christmas music and movies plus all the on line pictures and banners - LOL.  The Christmas cards that I do for just some family now are ready to go being done during the Grey Cup.  Down to just 10 now which is much better on the budget.  

Anyway, that was the week that was.

Have a wonderful weekend!

  
 

Last Day - Your Thanksgiving

 

Happy Thanksgiving to my American Family and Friends. 

I am grateful that I did this gratitude from Canadian Thanksgiving to American Thanksgiving.  It really was an interesting project.  Some days were super easy and some days took some thought but I am grateful for it. 

Days of Gratitude - Day 45

 

I am grateful for all the miracles and lessons learned in my life.  Because of all of them I am who I am and I like me.
