Friday, I made it, almost!


I love this quote from C.S. Lewis. We need to remember who we are surrounded by, even the least of us is an immortal being of such worth.

I think yesterday I was a little blue and out of sorts.  I was having stomach issues, but I was also a little depressed.  I just needed Sissie time.  I am alone so much, and I don't mind being alone, I just like to do things with someone. I needed to run errands and the thought of doing it alone was just not in me.  

So Sissie and Dan went with me to the bank, and Home Depot where I paid off the $1400.00 for the yard equipment.  It was on a no interest offer until Sept. Stopped by hobby lobby for sewing supplies. Then We grabbed a protein bowl from a fast-food place and went to Albertsons for their loss leaders and to fill and pick up a prescription. It was nice to have company. 

Then home to finally get to sewing.  It was late in the day and Kelsa was due in at 8.  I had three more pairs of pants come in yesterday, so I added those to the 6 pair that still needed done.  I got those all done and started on a wedding dress and now need the bride to finish.  I also ripped and got another formal dress ready to sew.  I did not feel like I had wasted the day being blah!

This morning, I went to my piano lesson and then had my nails done.  I have Kelsa, and I left her with Kay and Dan when I did my nails.  Now we are home, and I need to make several phone calls for the shop.

Got a new hymn for choir at my lesson and it is an African spiritual.  I really like it.  Love the rhythm. I have been neglectful in practicing lately and need to improve. I was so disciplined for a long while and I need to get back to that.

Went out early this morning and replanted carrots, and beets and radishes. I could have bought a lot of veggies for what I have spent on seed. But I will win this, I swear!!!!!

This has been a very productive week, and I need to keep at it in order to leave town in the middle of July with a clear conscience. Tomorrow I am helping Kay and Dan at their place and then I think Kelsa and I will go swimming at Kellie's in the late afternoon.

I was able to get zippers at Hobbie lobby on sale for .99 a piece.  These would have been well over 14.00 at Joanns.  Plus, they have leather supplies.  The leather package was $3.99. Normally I have to buy an entire hide at the shoe shop.  Then I cut the hide into fringe and sell it on the reservation, so I don't waste the money, but that is a pain. Now I can just buy a small strip. Love that.

I am trying to convince myself to get some sewing done today. Kelsa is busy playing with playdough.  I think the playdough sounds like more fun.

I have to substitute music with the children this week and play for choir.  I think Kelsa and I will do homemade scones for the choir treat.  We haven't done those for a while and everyone loves those.  I have cranberries and blueberries that need to be used in the freezer.

So, I will have a busy weekend ahead of me. Signe' has William up in Spokane at hockey camp and Kelsa is with me until Monday when Nate gets off work.  It is a grandma weekend.  I will love every minute of it!

Have a great and productive day

God is good

  1. Have a fantastic grandma weekend! I'm going to attempt some meal prepping for next week, so I won't succumb to any crap while I'm working. Wish me luck! - Hawaii Planner

  4. Hmmm blueberry and cranberry scones. I can't sing at all but will gladly crow for them. I know the lonely. Mine hits at night. My SIL is just learning these times. Here we were three widows in a row at the anniversary dinner, me between my sister who lost her husband in 2020 and new widow, SIL. She got her 50th anniversary which of course neither of us did, but that was no consolation. Enjoy the GK this weekend.
