A Day Having Fun

 Yesterday's weather had it all but snow flurries. Wind, rain, sunshine, and clouds. The high got to 12C. This morning it is cloudy, windy, and 1C. Today is suppose to be cloudy, windy, and maybe snow flurries. The high is suppose to be 1C. 

Lifestyle

Daughter-in-law and I headed out to shop before her physio appointment. Our first stop was to our favourite dollar store. We usually wander it a couple of times before Christmas and love looking at the huge selection of items they have. We got a few items one of which is a solar powered tree that wiggles when charged. 

Our next stop was Walmart for gift cards. We also snooped through the Grinch clothing looking for something unique. We found it. 

I bought it for daughter-in-law for Christmas Eve. Now they all have a Grinch shirt to wear. 

After a quick lunch (which was delicious), daughter-in-law had her treatment and we headed home. Once I got my stuff put away, I headed out to get my prescriptions filled which I will pick up on Thursday. 

When I got home, I was exhausted to the point that my energy level was low. I sat and vegged wondering why. I realized that I had got hot twice during the day and it sapped my energy. My internal temperature was high. I drank a lot of water and cooled down in a cool house. By bedtime I was fine and slept well. 

I did not sew or knit yesterday. It was a day I could have made huge mistakes. 

Thoughts

    I wore a hoodie I bought in Denmark. It is lighter than the one I bought for grandson but it is much warmer than the ones I buy here. I overheated wearing it in stores and the car. Outside it was perfect. 

    I am enjoying looking at Grinch stuff. There is something for everyone. Son started it 2 years ago by buying a shirt to wear on Dec. 24. He and a friend wore Grinch shirts last year. It has now grown to son, daughter-in-law, and grandson wearing them this year. Daughter-in-law bought napkins with Grinch on them and I will make bags with Grinch faces on them for gifts. We might just as well relax, embrace the Grinch, and have fun. Who knows what else will appear for us to have fun with. 

    Daughter-in-law and I planned the Christmas Eve get together with friends and most of Christmas Day meals. This year it will be kept simple so everyone enjoys the both days. We are even cutting way back on baking this year. And we are even bringing out paper plates for Christmas Eve. They can be composted. I am going to make sure that I am more involved as I am not sore this year. 

Today

I am going to prep my bedroom to paint on Friday. I will try to do some cleaning in the rest of the house and do a load of laundry. This afternoon I will be in the sewing room doing the binding for the quilt and then measuring fabrics to donate. Tonight I will knit. It is a stay at home day. 

Until the next time...........................................................
