We are having ugly weather and believe me when I say we are sick of it. Should be warmer by this weekend. We hope.
Have had a busy few days, Sunday morning it was 30 below and with the nasty wind more like 60 below. The wind has died down but the weather hasn't changed much. We went to church, picked up Linda and then in the afternoon she picked us up along with Raquel and we went to the Pastor's open house for the 12 days of Christmas. It was fun and even Duane and Teresa drove up from Brainerd for it.
Monday morning was busy because I didn't know if our carpenter Kenny was coming or not and I had to finish getting some things cleared off but when I got in touch with him to connect he said he wouldn't be able to pop over till at least on Thursday. The weather has slowed down some of the progress on other jobs.
We popped in our car around 11 and headed for Sartell outside of St Cloud to get shots in our left eyes. Aren't we the lucky ones but we really like Dr Reynolds and if anyone can do it as pain free as possible he is your guy. I was telling him no I could't feel it but the noise of getting the shot was like popping a needle into an apple, you can hear that snap or pop from the needles puncturing the skin of your eyeball. What a hoot.
Because it was so cold out so many appointments were rescheduled so we got out of there withing two hours. A record. It normally takes at least 3 hours. It's like a cattle call.
We headed for Macs. The Governor called school for the whole state, Laura took Hope to a day care down town and Skye went and babysat Hudson because he had been sick. He was still under the weather. Mac had an interview. He just wants to see what is out there.
Laura came home with Hope and we had a lovely dinner with Chicken and Pesto. And potatoes because they know I hate pasta. What a dork I am.
Skye went home early and took the dogs with her. They do travel well but we don't want to leave them in the car too long when it's 30 below out.
We went home about 7 pm so they could get the kids bathed and in bed. It was fun seeing the new king size sleigh bed they purchased for themselves and Huddie's new car bed. They also got a new kitchen set. Really cute with 6 chairs. Plain black leather. Easy to keep clean.
They love the clearance rooms at the furniture stores.
Skye and I sat up for awhile and knitted. We do have fun together. I brought her down a deep fryer I am not using and a bread maker that has become an albatross. I even had a mini-electric griddle she will be able to use for grilled cheese and such. Poor Skye gets so much stuff dumped on her.
I am in my office and I have the heater under my desk on, I love that heater but it still is cold near the floor.
Jim went to his old AA group meeting at 6 am on Tuesday morning and then to his 9:30 am Doctor appointment for his yearly bladder cancer check up. Everything is fine for another year. Heavens his bladder cancer was at least 30 plus years ago.
Skye and I went to her shop around 9am and she did my hair. Jim got back and we went to the Habitat Resale store. I thought we might find a stainless steel sink. No luck. I want one for my entry way. Skye had two men haircuts and then we took her to lunch at Moe's where she used to work and we had a really nice time. We love staying there. I can have the dogs and with little Otto it is good she has a basement because he runs down there to do his business sometimes.
We got home about 5 pm last night and this is going to be a busy week. I also start my diet today. I am looking at it from a perspective of a new eating lifestyle. In other words I have to quite eating so much junk.
I bought some pine nut hummus that I just love and will snack on celery and carrots dipped in that. It is really yummy. What No Chocolate, A BIG FAT NO!
Do you know I had to enlarge the font, I couldn't read it so I could correct errors in my spelling ofwords. Sometimes I think I am blind as a bat. Thank goodness for large font choices. See there is always a bright side.
Will check in with you all tomorrow. Busy day ahead.
