Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

Yes. I started reading a book that a friend of mine purchased for me. So far the book is GOOD. It's about a lady that befriends a Homeless man. They form a special bond. She was broken, he was homeless...they both needed each other in a special way. I just started the book but I can tell it will touch my heart (actually it already has). I can see why my friend wanted me to read it.

Well today not a great deal done.. it's been raining all day so stayed home. We got all the Christmas waterfall lights up on the windows.. and later in the afternoon we go a new set of shelves/cupboards installed in the downstairs hallway , larger than the drawers which were there already of which we kept all the outdoor stuff like gloves & Hats, keys , Umbrellas etc.. now there's more space for them, and it all looks nice and fresh and bright..


Tomorrow morning we'll go to the recycle centre.. before we pick up DD, and our friends and go for lunch. Everyone wants to see DD's new Hyundai RV4 ...she has heated windscreen wipers... :eek:

Holly.......it sounds like you're all free as birds in your part of the world..........
Are vaccines available now.
Are lockdowns done with...........
 

Bananas were ready to make muffins, so i that.
Sorted out the last of the pictures.......now filling the albums with pictures to go to the appropriate persons.
Did a jigsaw puzzle.......the new site i found the other day has beautiful pictures.
Didn't grocery shop today.......had enough milk till Monday......will shop on Monday.
 
We had about 8 inches of snow yesterday and last night.....although only 1 - 3 inches were forecast. I pushed it off my deck and cleared the driveway with the self propelled, walk behind snow blower. I kept a fire going in the wood stove and read a science fiction novel......a genre I've regained an interest in since the COVID induced solitude has inspired a desire for escapism.......
Our public library is closed so I've been buying print books from Amazon.
I think I'm keeping myself reasonably mentally sane.

yes vaccines are available now. The first vaccines were given last week, England were the first in the world ... and they continue now to be given to the over 80's and front line Care-workers.. and medical staff...

However we're far from being 'free as a bird''... we've only just come out of a second lockdown last week.. and we're being threatened with a lockdown for the whole of January.. , but I get your point, we can pretty much go most places including restaurants and bars now, although we must abide by covid rules.. PPE to be worn indoors at all time unless eating or drinking.. and 2 metre spaces to be observed, family bubbles of less than 6 etc.. .. those that don't follow those rules are the reasons we keep getting closed down

i have started walking again, inside, as it is too cold outside down to 17 degrees at times but little snow yet, just cold. I need to make my 10,000 steps a day or I will gain weight despite having difficult with digestion. I have lost 20 pounds since March due to stomach issues and have no desire to regain it.

Walking inside 10 to 15 minutes every hour makes my steps 🤓
 
Wow @Aneeda 20 pounds is a lot in 9 months without trying... you may have needed to lose it but that's not the point tho is it ?.. what's being done about it.. anything ?

Yesterday ( Sunday)... we went shopping in the morning, and then out to late lunch at the pub with DD, and some friends.. we had to sit at separate tables because we're only allowed to sit at a table with people from our own family households or bubbles... and there was an empty table between each set of diners...

We left our friends at the pub just as it was getting dark because we had to return to DD's house for hubs to sort out a few repairs for her before we headed home..

That’s what my doctor says, she is glad I am losing weight but not happy with the intentioned method. I had the barium X-rays to look at my stomach, and the endoscopy is scheduled for the 22nd of this month on my stomach and small bowel. My gastroparesis has gotten much worst over time and prevents me from eating much.

I am always very hungry. 😧

Thanks Holly.
 
Just been announced London and some of the home counties surrounding London including parts of ours are going back into Lockdown as from Midnight tomorrow night.... there's going to be chaos.

As of yet our part of the county has not been announced as the area being shut down but they could change their minds by tomorrow and just put the whole county into lockdown. :(

Your pub looks so inviting, Holly. No wonder you've been down in the dumps when it's had Covid closures or severe restrictions.

I'm up in the middle of the night. Again. Insomnia is the pits.

Been busy baking and will start some more after catching up on what SF friends have been up to.
I need to start mailing cookie packages out today or tomorrow. Priority mail delivers them in 2-3 days, so they'll arrive in time for Christmas if I get them all out by Friday.

When am I getting mine?

ooh yes but that's not even our favourite pub either, so you can imagine how we feel when everything is closed... tonight half the county is being closed again, all the pubs and restaurants.. can you believe it, we were closed all summer, then all of November, then the pubs (those who managed to survive) have only been open 2 weeks, and everything is being shut down again at midnight tonight.. (not supermarkets).. fortunately for us it's not this side of the county... so our pubs are still open, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they close the rest of the county by the end of the week
 
I managed to get to the dumpster today and did not fall on the ice. I guess they did not start the clean up till all of us had made trips outside. Did laundry and am putting sheets and towels away, the other stuff hangs in the shower. Had breakfast. Now going to relax a bit coloring in a new book I got.

Making cookies sounds like fun and something I'd like to do and maybe I will.

I hope you continue to stay safe from falling.

Wow it must be bad there for things to be shut down. With the virus surging so bad here in Ohio I don't understand why we have not been shut down.
