It’s 5:30pm, and I’m just about done with my major projects for the day – except for baking the homemade bread. I mixed it up – of course – earlier this morning, and it’s been rising all day. I have GODWINK CHRISTMAS playing in the background while I type, and the space heater under my desk keeping me warm.
As per typical Saturday, I filled my pill dispenser first. Then I changed and washed my bed sheets. Since my next project was to mix the bread dough, I decided to do that before my shower. I do make a mess when I mix the dough, and it just made more sense. So while the dough was rising, I got a shower and made breakfast. By then it was almost 11:30am so I guess it was brunch. I made a piece of French toast.
Sort of looked like this…. Only not three pieces.
I cleaned out a few more dresser drawers, and went through my Christmas socks. I used to wear Christmas socks almost every day during the holidays and seldom do these days. So I kept about 4 or 5 pair, a few of which I could wear all year. Like my ‘Hallmark movie watching socks’. And ones with snowflakes that can be worn all winter. I took two little Snoopy charms off a pair of old ones and transformed them into earrings!
After the dough was punched down and set to its second rise, I went over to get a few groceries. I think there were 6 things on my list. Shop n Save was having a sale of soft drinks so I bought two cases. I was actually surprised because you could mix and match 2 cases of either Coke or Pepsi products to get the sale prices. Usually those two don’t mix! I got a Diet Pepsi and a Diet Coke so I’m set for a while. At lease until next year. Hahaha.
I found a little ‘candy cane’ tree to add to my mini display. All the Christmas items were 50% off so I didn’t feel too bad getting that.
Since I was right next door I stopped at Burger King and got a frozen Coke. I was a little frustrated with that – I first started getting those because they were $1.00 each. Then they did away with the ‘special’ and they were $1.59 each. Today when I stopped I found out that they ‘discontinued’ the small size. So if you want a frozen coke you get a medium or large. Sigh. I got a medium ($2) and drank a little. Came home and put it in the freezer and just now finished it. But I probably won’t do that too often. EVERYTHING is going up, and not in proportion with income!
My frozen Frozen coke.
Oh, and while I was at Shop and Save I got 1/4 pound of Sweet Lebanon Bologna. I only buy it once or twice a year because it’s expensive.
Looks sort of like this.
Last night was another ‘I couldn’t fall asleep’ nights. I feel like I could fall asleep at my desk in the middle of a sentence — but then I wouldn’t sleep tonight, either. So I’ll fight to stay awake. In the meantime, as promised from yesterday, I DID make a paper snowflake!
SCRIPTURE of the DAY:
Not actually a scripture but inspirational….
PEANUTS?
CHRISTMAS/NEW YEARS:
TOMORROW December 28th is:
National Short Film day; National Card Playing Day; National Chocolate Candy Day; Pledge of Allegiance Day; Holy Innocents day; National Call a Friend Day; National Download Day.
Tomorrow is also my niece Sarah’s birthday – so we will celebrate her tomorrow! As mentioned in a previous post, I’m not good at competitive games so playing cards wouldn’t interest me. And I’m not good at calling friends. I normally wait for them to catch up with me! Have a lovely Sunday. God bless…
