December
Journaling
1. Church. Made a giant pretzel plushie
for my new son-in-law at his request, for Christmas.
2. Working on my homework for Thursday’s
Bible study, then we’re off till January. I’m glad, it’s a busy time of year.
Also, our friends coming over to help with our dishwasher. It was repaired; the
motor was changed out, or the bearings or something, but there was a leak in
the hose which my husband tried to fix, but he needs help, so we’ll feed our
friends and play cards with them. My poor daughter, her VIA train to Ottawa
took 10 hours instead of 5 so she had to take a sick day to sleep.
3. Pain clinic, housekeeper. Finished a
long, pocketed scarf using the drunken granny stitch.
4. Made three ear warmers. Made Thai
green curry chicken with rice and veg for dinner.
5. Bible study. Took my mom for a liver
test called a fibroscan, but the office was locked, no communication.
6. Baked for tomorrow; a dessert called
Christmas Crackle. Went to the Old Mill Restaurant and Banquet Centre for the
TBS President’s Christmas Gala. Our church had a table of ten.
7. Church Christmas Gala, but I wasn’t
feeling the greatest.
8. Church, only in the morning, because
of the busy weekend. A woman at church went into labour; first baby. We went to
play cards and have pizza at J and E’s house along with others.
9. Chiro this morning. Got another idea
for a book, a legacy journal. I wrote most of it today. That young woman had a
baby boy, 8-1/4 pounds, named Leonidas.
10. Went grocery shopping with my mom.
Then recorded two crochet tutorials for youtube. Began and finished my
daughter’s crocheted yoga mat strap for Christmas. Wrapped some gifts to put
under the tree.
11. Recorded another tutorial. Took my
mom to a doctor’s appointment. Prayer meeting in the evening.
12. Going to self-publish a book on
amazon.
13. Making a budget. Baked an eggnog
bundt coffee cake and some mac and cheese to freeze. It’s my sister-in-law’s
birthday, 55.
14. Attended a Christmas service at a
retirement home with many people from our church and our former pastor to
support and visit a 98-year-old lady who lives there now who used to attend our
church. Brought her some ginger snaps.
15. Church, but I stayed home because I
had a bad skin reaction to waxing yesterday. I have a bad rash on my face. I
hope it will go away soon, and not leave scars. Trying to avoid scratching it
even though it is so itchy.
16. The rash is improving with sauna, gold
bond lotion, and Benadryl. Crocheting some Christmas ornaments: red stars and 18
dark green trees made with the puff stitch, which can be a garland. Also making
a red touque.
17. Taking my mom to a liver test. My
face is clearing up.
18. Trying to learn how to use book bolt
but I’m neither a designer nor a techie, so it’s frustrating.
19. Went to buy a star for our tree.
20. Going to Hamilton to watch the
grandkids since they have a PA day.
21. Housekeeper. Friends coming for
dinner and to play cards.
22. Church, with refreshments after the
evening service.
23. Got bloodwork done. Preparing for
Christmas eve. Our daughter bought a new vehicle. Our other daughter and new
son-in-law arrived.
24. Christmas Eve or Finnish Christmas.
25. Hosting the family for Christmas
dinner. We got a new fancy coffee maker.
26. Clean up, the family left.
27. So much laundry.
28. Writing e-books, print on demand
through Amazon kdp.
29. Church, my husband preached.
30. Went for a physiotherapy treatment.
Grandkids overnight. They love their sauna. Taught my grandson how to make a
stress ball.
31. Finished a dark brown pleated
crocheted skirt for a child, a mauve lined bag, and a mega sized goose. New
Years’ Eve spent at home, which I like.
