Monday, On the go again

 

Okay pretend this chart says #23 as I can't get my computer to download the new picture of chart 23. Or I should say I can't the picture to print on this blog and I am not in the mood to fight my way through why.

This cold lingers and has I think turned into an infection? But sinus infections are something that l get frequently after a cold. I am feeling much better. 

Did get to church on Sunday and teaching music to kids for an hour was a little stressful as I kept coughing or losing my voice. Choir practice was fine, as I did not have to talk just play.

Sissie and I made two kinds of scones for choir practice treats. We did orange, cranberry, and blueberry lemon. All of them disappeared very fast so I know they were appreciated.

So, my dear sister-in-law has been placed on hospice and I am devastated. Sissie and I are headed down to try and see her one last time and also to help my oldest daughters with some alterations.  She has lost about 25 pounds and none of her suits and skirts fit. She has very expensive clothes and is not willing to give everything up just yet.  So, mother to the rescue.

Sissie and I had planned to be having fun with Slugs at this time, but that did not work out, so we have to go on another adventure.  This one will not be nearly as much fun.

We plan on coming back on Saturday as the choir is singing on Sunday and I need to be here to play.  We are however taking our funeral clothes incase Hiedi goes while we are down there. I am just so sad for her six daughters. Losing your mom and seeing her suffer, it is just too much.

I have caught everything up in the shop and there are just a few things left for me to do when I get back.  We will call them seeds.  They will flourish and grow into more work.

I have started ordering Christmas and sending it to the eldest's house as that is where we will be Christmas day. I still have a few more to buy for but will try and do that while I am down in Twin Falls that way I can leave everything there and not have to worry about getting it down there later.

You all know how Christmas stresses me.  Just too many years of never having enough money and the pressure.  I just can't get over the PTSD of it.  But I am trying.

So today I have lists (that Sissie made me make) so I am checking those off and getting ready to go.

One thing is for sure Sissie, and I can laugh about almost anything, we are that stupid, so this will be a fun time, most of the time.

I am going to get the last of the sewing done. A uniform that Nate will pick up when I am gone.  He has keys to the house.  Then I am off!  In more ways than one.

God is good
