Our daughter applied to enter our grandson in JK
at a local Christian school next year. I hope he gets in. Sent in my author
photo. I’ll post it. I have an author blog called benaiahmightyman.wordpress.com and a facebook page called P.H. Thompson, Author
8.
Home day, with errands.
9.
My sister-in-law came to church with us, then
home for lunch. She is currently living with her mom because she had a house
fire in October. As she was leaving in the dark, she backed into our
neighbour’s car. She has no income, so it’ll fall on us to cover it. Sigh.
10.
Chiro and massage.
11.
Grandkids overnight. Busy day.

Starting my revisions. I have about three weeks
to do forty chapters.
13.
We bought a new fridge and stove today.
14.
Went downtown for lunch with my daughter, for
Thai.

Laundry and revisions. I’m so pleased with this

Pain clinic, then waited at the Honda dealership
while they repaired a recall issue. Then made dinner and did revisions.

Getting the house ready for guests. If I do it
in stages it’s not so overwhelming.

Last minute shopping.

Church, nap, and revisions, as I’ll take two

my sister this evening. Also baking my turkey for tomorrow.

27.
Bible reading. Almost done reading through the
Bible chronologically again. Then laundry, and a long nap, cooked Thai shrimp
soup for dinner, and revised while my husband and daughter went to see Aquaman.
He was my favorite growing up, but I’m so mad at the casting and how they
completely changed his look to a long-haired, tattooed man that I wouldn’t go
out of protest.
28.
Pedicure with my daughter, then lunch and
Costco, nap, supper and revisions.

There have been 96 murders in Toronto so far
this year. Crazy.

for dinner, then finishing my revisions a few days early.

Visiting friends to celebrate New Years’ Eve. We
played the games, Pictionary and Mad Gab. Hilarious, especially Mad Gab with
Jamaican accents. Looking forward to the new year when my book will be
published. Also thankful for an improvement in health to a tolerable level.
