November 1st 2019

I should have been a vampire!

I did more between 11pm and 3am

Than I did all day!

I so wanted to stay in bed

But I have coffee duties on thursday

With Dad at Valleyview.

AND a resident had asked for C batteries.

So a pit stop at Dollar Tree first.

Got Dad paratransit for Saturday

En-route.

I was all over Valleyview 

For some reason today,

And seeing the school kids 

costume parade was really fun.

I even got a chance to talk

To a few family members about

Joining family Council!

Rainy is the description for the day.

Cold wet and windy.

I stopped at the new shoe store

And apparently haven't bought

What is considered "decent shoes"

In quite a while!!!! Holy $$$$$$$$

I was actually looking for ballerina slippers.

Light! Cool! Soled! Flat!

We had a slow start... getting

The very attentive clerk to understand

Exactly what I wanted and where the

Problems would be in each $100++

Pair of shoes she showed me.

Even the manager was involved.

The type of slipper-shoe I was thinking of

They did not carry.. And I was about 

To give up when she gave me

A last try...

The ugliest Sketchers i had ever seen

And it was also perfect!

Black, so very light weight, flat, comfy!

I did not even think just bought.

I wandered into Dollar Tree

For a couple craft event items

And was not in a "shopping mood" .

Off to Staples then Burger King

As I realized I hadn't eaten yet!

Headed home with my chicken nuggets.

The house looked like a bomb went off

And that depresses me.

I made a couple aprons for the weekend

With matching hats,

Sealed my christmas cards -no photo

Or letters this year and put on my costume.

Took my niece out for Halloween.

Drove home and mailed my cards!

Walked in the door, looked around

And crashed in my chair - what a mess.

Got John off to work and sat irritated.

By 11pm I could not stand it anymore!

I thought "just this" but in a whirlwind

Of activity and sweat:

#1 Kitchen straightened up (and armoire storage cleaned up too.)

#2 Fall decorating all removed including wreaths

#3 back bathroom straightened 

#4 eggs boiled for egg salad! 

#5 2 bags of potatoes cooking in roaster. 

#6 just sat for a break. 

#7 all fall packed up in totes

#8 piled all craft event items in dining room

#9 living room back to normal 

#10 candy pulled out for event

#11 potatoes cooked and cooling. 

#12 eggs peeled and shredded (ty Tupperware meat grinder) 

#13 garbage out 

#14 meats out of freezer 

#15 dishwasher loaded counters wiped off

#16 load of laundry hung and another started 

#17 clothes away and hangers gathered 

#18 halloween costume stuff away 

#19 Another load of laundry hung 

#20 bed remade

#21 cleared stairway

#22 Meds taken and in bed by 2:30am

I was allowed a sleep in this morning

But woke at 7am.

So much to do today to get ready for

This weekend's craft event!

But exhausted won't help.

Nap time.

Good morning from John Street
