Monday MORNING WAS AN ACTIVE ONE. I had rescheduling to do for an eye appointment as I have no business having an eye zapped with a laser when having a head cold. Still coughing. Next week will hopefully be a different story and I can get started on improving my eyesight. Praying about this.
Truthfully, I did not want to go back to Manhattan today as I was just there yesterday, BUT it looks like I need to go to the Pharmacy in a different community, do a return on a calendar book, go to a different store for a different calendar book AND what else? A at-home co vid test. Some frosting in a tub for Hubby's Birthday Cake and some nice THANK YOU cards. Don't forget the bank.
This morning was busy with the rescheduling and writing out bills. Hubby went to town to drop off some mail, pick up some mail, drop off the city bill, pay our COTTAGE TAXES at the Court House, gas the car and check it over for travel.
Today, I want to finish up the Christmas Cards for family, write a letter to my Alaskan girl friend and a letter with pics to my Mom. I am running further behind than I'm proud of, but hopefully I will be done with this tonight. Hopefully.
On Sunday, I purchased some tiny, unpainted nutcrackers from Menards that were discounted. I hesitated, but then decided I was going to get them as I start to collect miniatures. I saw the cutest pics of miniatures with dolls and thought this is something I'd like to try to create for myself. SOOOO...here I go on an adventure in 2026. I like taking pictures and creating sceneries will be interesting.
CHRISTMAS MUSIC CDs. I've checked two Walgreens, three Walmarts, BEST BUY, Target, Dollar General, Dollar Tree. humph. Pop goes the weasel. No luck. Will check God's Storehouse and maybe some record shops. UPDATE. Hit the JACK POT at Manhattan's GOODWILL. Left with $2.50 CHRISTMAS CDs.
BAKING PLANS IN THE WORKS. Planning on making some white chocolate covered pretzels and FOOL PROOF FUDGE and a birthday cake tomorrow.
This afternoon, I needed to make a quick trip to Manhattan to return Calendar Book. Paper pages are way too thin. Will order one from the internet. After cleaning out the fridge of stinky greens, I need to replace what I threw away with fresh produce for salad friendly meals. My quick trip turned into a five hour errand day. Pharmacy, Dollar tree, Goodwill just because, Target to return calendar book, Walmart stop to see if they had calendar books and pick up frosting, HyVee Grocery store for greens. While there, Hubby phoned me and shared that he got sick and was vomiting. Not good. 7-up, crackers, Jello and HOME co vid/flu kit added to cart. Went through WENDY's drive through for a Jr. Bacon Cheese Burger as I knew Hubby will not be up to supper.
When I got HOME, I unloaded my spoils and checked on HUBBY. Fed him JELLO, 7-up and soda crackers. We both took a co vid/flu test. Both are negative. Cleaning the bathroom will take place and daily switching out hand towels is a must. Which reminds me, I will need to replace our tooth brushes and sanitize the door knobs, light switches and phones.
I have plans of going to QUEST for labs to check A1c on Tuesday. Shall see how I'm feeling in the morning. I'm tellin' ya, I don't think my COTTAGE will ever get put into order. Just saying. Lord help me, please and thank you. Not much I can do about this, but to sneak in clean-up when I can.
Back to nursing an ill HUBBY. Praying he gets to feeling better right away. His 71st Birthday is on Christmas Eve. Being sick especially on his birthday isn't good. HE JOKES BY SAYING, he spent his first Christmas in the hospital.
On a better note, he has made huge progress on our porch. It's looking so cute like a well taken care of COTTAGE should. Pics later.
I decided that I am alright with having my small Christmas tree with fairy lights. No garland hanging this year. No outdoor lights or decorations except door wreaths. This is a very simple CHRISTMAS at the COTTAGE. Thoughts are on CHRIST as a sweet baby.
