Coast to Coast to Coast

October Journaling

1.     Busy day, Bible study, errands, my cousins arrived for the night, a funeral for the widow of our first pastor; he baptized me and married us. Then making snacks for our guests. I just received my latest book, Curious Minds Word Search.

2.     Helping my mom pack to go to my aunt’s in London for a week or two. So quiet in the house now. My pain is gone for most of the day now. Sold three pumpkins to my cousin. Finally, no more nerve pain.

3.     In September I sold 47 copies of The Legacy Project. It’s starting to get noticed.

4.     Church, and then we took out the speaker for lunch. They are missionaries to Thailand. It is missions’ week. I got a new iPhone 17.

5.     Went to a medical appointment. Crocheting many pumpkins and a snake.

6.     My son-in-law’s birthday (the one in Canada).

7.     Chiro appointment and errands. I wrote a grade six geography primer which can also be used by those preparing for the Canadian citizenship exam. I also made a kindle copy and put it on kindle unlimited so people can read for free and I get a cut for every page read. I also plan to publish it in French and on audio.

8.     Seeing my naturopath. He wants to get my sleep in order.

9.     Prepping for our family Thanksgiving dinner in Hamilton, our daughter is hosting. My mom and her sister from Finland have been visiting my aunt for a week so far.

10. Thanksgiving dinner in Hamilton. Very nice. I brought mashed potatoes and blueberry squares and pumpkin pie.

11. Church, then we took the speaker and his family out for lunch, as well as a new couple.

12. Happy Thanksgiving!

13. Housekeeper today.

14. In Hamilton helping out. Making dinner.

15. Bible study this morning online from home.

16. MRI of my right hip and leg to find out why it’s so weak. It took months to get this appointment. Picking up my aunt from London.

17. Pumpkinville outreach event at Greenwood Conservation Area. Being on my feet for more than six hours triggered that leg pain again.

18. Church. I have a bad cold.

19. Helping in Hamilton again. I brought my grandson a copy of the grade six Canadian geography book I wrote. My aunt returns to Finland tonight. I had to stay overnight even though I wasn’t prepared to, because my eyes were so sore and my night vision isn’t good at the best of times.

20. I slept for most of the afternoon.

21. Home day, crocheting and writing. Made two teddy bears. Ugg, this pain!

22. Slept two hours. Doing Bible study online from home again.

23. No pain today, thank God. Beginning edits on my Joseph story.

24. No pain, so I went to the dollar store.

25.Church. Pastor appreciation day.

26. Costco order. Making tacos for young adults this week on Friday.

27. Pain clinic but I’m afraid to get the back injections lest it trigger that severe pain again.

28. Home day. I like those.

29. Bible study.

30. Making tacos and cupcakes for the young adults tonight.

31. Going to IKEA to hide away during Hallowe’en. Bought some lighting for our dark living room and a colour change for our ensuite bathroom.
