SHAKING MY HEAD how quickly my week disappeared. Not sure how that happened except I kept busy and poof the week is gone. GONE.
Looking over the newspaper ads I was glad to see HY-VEE is doing their BUY A HAM GET A FREE TURKEY. Timing is perfect as I will take advantage of this and put both ham and turkey in the freezer. Before I leave the store I will have the butcher shave thin slices of the ham to make delicious ham sandwiches during for the later part of November and into December.
I look at this sale as a blessing and a way to cut expenses. A way to prosper stretching the groceries.
Where has the week gone? Cold weather has come and I am still wearing a cardigan sweater to stay warmer while out running errands.
Had to purchase some storage tubs for the overflow of my white dishes. Packed these dishes up to get out of the Kitchen. Hubby carried the tubs downstairs and placed them on some shelves. My Kitchen cabinet contents are now as I want them. The countertops have opened up making more space for food preparations. A good feeling after all the rearranging. I know full well that we could actually have even less dishes than what we have. Mixing bowls and bakeware are a plenty.
Glassware is thinned out and nicely arranged in the cabinets. Easily accessible. My Kitchen is to me what the Garage is to my Husband. This is my territory. We share it, but the placement of items is my territory just like the Garage items are where Hubby wants them.
Next step is to clear off the Dining room table and make a CHRISTMAS CENTERPIECE. I am skipping a Thanksgiving Centerpiece this year and moving right into CHRISTMAS. This is what I want to do this year. Christmas tree will probably go up next week. Going with lots of twinkle lights and acrylic snowflakes! Wahoo.
Hubby continues working on rebuilding the screened in porch. This has been a huge project doing it on his own. A post about it later. He is a worker and a half.
Wearing a mask when out shopping and running errands. Social distancing as best I can, disinfecting hands with wipes, frequently washing hands and not around many people. Having to figure creative ways to accomplish tasks.
Watching Church services at HOME is not a problem for me. It isn't the same as attending in person, but I am alright with that for the time being. I do not miss movie theaters as the movies can be watched at HOME. Ordering from catalogs is doable. Paying bills from HOME is doable. Creating art, sewing clothes, organizing, tidying, cleaning, laundry, reading, drawing, dancing, singing...all doable.
Thinning things out doable. Avoiding crowds doable. Chatting with family doable. Meals at HOME doable. Letter writing doable. Praying at HOME doable. Watching educational programs from HOME doable. Walking on a treadmill doable. Riding a stationary bike doable. Floor exercises doable.
MAY YOU HAVE A DOABLE DAY!
I am learning that I can actually do LIFE differently these days and can change things if needed. We do not have to be stuck in a rut. Yes, we can change. With God's help, it's possible.
An old dog can learn new tricks.
Bow wow. Doable is doable. I need a doggy treat.
