DAY DIDN'T GO AS PLANNED

I HAD A SLOW START TO THE DAY with a full day of plans that didn't happen. The phone rang.  This completely changed the course for the day.  My plans to get the living room completely cleaned out and vacuumed slightly took place before the phone rang with the receptionist from the EYE CENTER asking me if I wanted to come in to the office to see Dr. Gentsler this afternoon since they had a cancellation.  My appointment was for the 29th and this would bump me up three weeks.

I decided to take the appointment which meant I had to get on the ball to shampoo my hair, trim it, do a few more chores and travel to Topeka.  I got around doing some chores, running the vacuum, shuffling some furniture, shampooing my hair at the kitchen sink then trimming it using the butterfly method and allowing the hair to air dry on the way to the city.  

When I wear my hair up in a clip, the honey blonde still shows on the ends.  The front of my hair is showing grey highlights which I don't mind, but I don't like the grey front and honey blonde tips TOGETHER.  It's taking years for this to grow out.  My hair is thinning.  Each morning when I comb it, so much hair comes out it bothers me.  Hair loss can be due to iron deficiencies. Soooooo am I to take iron?  Not sure, but I don't like the thinning of the hair.

Sometimes our plans get changed.  Mine certainly did.  I was suppose to have my Husband's help all day long getting the COTTAGE cleaned up and this all changed.  He came with me to Topeka. My day went pretty good.  

After I saw the doctor, we went to eat an early supper at Jason's Deli.  I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch.  I switched from having a salad to having a huge baked potato.  Ate till I was stuffed.  We went to SAMs as I needed some throw away coffee cups and picked up a Christmas red sweater that has MERRY across the front.  Target for Mrs. Meyer's Peppermint dish detergent.  Michaels. Hobby Lobby.  Natural Grocers for Apple Cider Vinegar capsules.  God's Storehouse just because. Then drove through POTWIN PLACE to look at the decorated houses in this neighborhood.  A yearly TRADITION.  

Like a little kid, I gaze at the brightly lit houses and ooh and ahh.  Love this.  I can't wait until we finally get to decorate our little COTTAGE for a CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY in 2026.  I've been patiently waiting for the day to flip the switch and see OUR house aglow with CHRISTMAS lights.

The drive HOME went well, unloaded the spoils, drank some Hot Chocolate and put my feet up. I am quickly blogging and calling it a night.  Tired.  Tomorrow, the weather is suppose to be in the 60s.  I'm excited about this.  I will go for a walk, scrub the front doors and hang some wreaths. Run the vacuum.  DO some laundry and declutter some more on the house.  I wish I were done with the cleaning and decluttering, but hey.

God bless us one and all,
