March Journaling
1. Cooking and baking for the church
potluck tomorrow.
2. Busy day at church. Three testimonies
of new members, then the sermon, then lunch, and a presentation of all the
different ministries available to serve with. Then a quick nap and back for
evening service.
3. Working on my Bible study lesson for
Thursday. Then chiro and massage in the afternoon. Made two leggy froggy
keychains.
4. Helping my husband prepare for an
interview tomorrow. Going grocery shopping with my mom. Getting bloodwork.
5. Answer to prayer, my husband’s
interview went well and even though he has been coughing for a week, he didn’t
cough once during the interview. Made more yellow chicks for Easter.
6. Bible study in the morning, then
stopped at my hair dresser’s to drop off some more amigurumi and to pick up the
cash as she sells some of them for me for Uganda. Then to the grocery store.
The trade war with the U.S. is on so we are watching the sourcing of all the
products we by. Then a nap, then dinner downtown before our Hebrews course. It
was really good, on Melchizedek.
7. Yesterday I crocheted a multicoloured
beanie and now will make a matching scarf out of variegated yarn. Finished my
cat stich three colour scarf. Recording the introduction to Judges for my
podcast, Bible Companion Series.
8. Finally, the guy doing the formatting
for my wordsearch fixed the problem and I was able to upload it. My husband had
a men’s meeting at church this morning. Our daughter and son-in-law are in
H-town to say good bye to the other daughter’s family, since they are moving to
France, and then they are staying overnight before heading home to Ottawa to
finish up some preparations for the move.
9. My husband is preaching at Providence
Baptist Church in Burlington today. Then we are having lunch there and stopping
by to see the grandkids on our way home. Beginning another teddy bear. Made
three colourful trinket dishes.
10. Repeat chiro appointment because I’m
still dragging my leg around. Working on word searches.
11. Working on coupon books; this first
one is for romancing your husband, so I’ll try them out. I think he’ll like
that. VBS meeting today.
12. Made another teddy bear and bunny
rabbit. So frustrated with the podcast app, so many of my recordings stop
half-way. Prayer meeting tonight. Yay! My Giant Military Word Search book has
been published! I ordered ten copies.
13. Our Hebrews course.
14. My word search book arrived. My newest book baby! Giant Military Word Search: Thompson, P H: 9798313630861: Books - Amazon.ca So nice to see.

16. Church. My husband preached tonight
and my mom came along. Crocheting a small white chick and a grey penguin, and
beginning a hippo.
17. An appointment with my
endocrinologist.
18. An appointment with my other hormone
doctor. Found out I have Hashimoto’s Disease, an autoimmune thyroid disease
which explains why my thyroid level is so low, and now I will have to take
thyroid medicine for life. Annual General Meeting at church. Made an ear
warmer.
19. Did my Bible study homework for

20. Bible study and lunch. Grocery
shopping with my mom. Dinner at our usual restaurant and then our Hebrews
course.
21. Drove to Hamilton to watch my
granddaughter, then bring all three back to our place for the weekend. Sauna
night, which they love.
22. Busy day preparing for guests,
picked up our daughter from the train station. Six adults and six children for
pizza dinner. I made Caesar salad and lemon meringue pie. Big clean up.
23. Church. The grandkids got to see our
daughter again and say goodbye. The middle grandchild is especially close to
her so there were tears.
24. My aunt arrived from Finland this evening.
She’s here for three weeks.
25. Our daughter is coming here from
Ottawa for a few days and then going to Wisconsin to be with her husband before
they leave to France to live and work. Sad. I made two more bandanas and my
first beret.
26. Making my first pair of crochet
slippers; not a good pattern.
27. My mom is 85 today! Also dropped off our taxes to be done.
28. Drove my mom and aunt out to H-town
to get picked up by my cousin to stay with my aunt for a while. Looked after my
granddaughter and picked up the others after school. Drove home early because
the rain may turn into an ice storm.
29. Doing my homework. Our daughter is
still here, waiting on her visa for France. Lots of ice north and east of us.
My brother-in-law lost power but he has a generator.
30. Still no power, told it won’t come
on until April 2nd. I made an orange and black large snake, a small
brown chicken, and a small owl, total of 44 items this month.
31. I am taking all the books off the
shelves, dusting them, purging at least 100 books out of my library and
rearranging them so it makes sense.
