A Wednesday Monday

When I woke up, I knew I needed it to be a Monday.  Mondays are my day to reset, clean and start my week. With the holiday and then my volunteer day, my Monday got pushed to today. However, I was starting my Monday really tired. I had to find the balance between easing into […]

Connections

Today I needed a slow paced day.  I didn’t sleep well thanks to what I think was real coffee on the drive home from Ferdinand yesterday.  I was up super early and just got busy with some things that make me happy.  I wrote a bunch of correspondence cards and worked on my blog.  I […]

Advent Day 21

Today was the first day of vacation for the boys and as such I didn’t see them very early.  That gave me plenty of time to jump on the exercise machine and knit another coffee cozy.  My collection is growing but I have a few more to go until I get to 30. Bill went […]

Advent Day 17

Let’s start with a little update on the knitting.  I’m up to day 14 and getting ready to start working the back panel.  I spent a fair amount of time in the kitchen today. It’s not that I was cooking all day but I did do a bit of that.  I like to wrap the […]

Advent Day 16

After dropping off Mason at school today, I had to get busy. Having a limited amount of time upped my productivity.  By the time my 11 am meeting began, I had accomplished quite a bit including my usual chores of cleaning the bathroom, mopping, and vacuuming as well as wrapping gifts and baking granola for […]

Advent Days 14 & 15

Yesterday was a pretty quiet day around here.  Schmitt arrived promptly at 7:30 am to begin working on creating the zones for our home.  They turned off the heat and as a result, it got rather cold in here.  Thankfully, I had plenty of knitwear to keep me warm.  I puttered around the house doing […]

Advent Day 13

Today was a full day! Bill and I went for a nice long walk along the river.  We had a great time talking and catching up on how our weeks went.  We ran into our friends, Kristy and Brian, and exchanged updates on life and our kids.  Our boys are classmates with theirs, Ethan and […]

Advent Days 11 & 12

Yesterday was mostly an admin day.  Bill had to work in the afternoon at the Covid clinic but had the morning free since it was technically his day off.  We were both industrious.  I did elf work for Christmas and Bill patched the hole in the tub.  The contractor stopped by and we now have […]

Advent Day 10

The December days feel especially full with all the usual things and holiday prep on top of that. I got up and did my morning workout on the Bow Flex.  I look forward to my exercise in December because many of my favorite knitters and creatives are posting daily holiday vlogs.  I knit while I […]

Advent Day 9

I’m making progress on my knitting but the catching up is going to take a number of days. I’m up to the third day. There is hope that I’ll get current at some point in December as long as I keep on moving forward. Thankfully, today I had a lot of time to knit because […]
