Spent an hour screwing lightbulbs to light the path for the Garden’s light display. It was cold but sunny. Baked and decorated cookies the rest of the day. A few details and packaging tomorrow. Gingerbread is a new addition this year.

Morning shift at the food warehouse kicked my butt today. It’s definitely a workout. I came home and made 4 batches of Chex Mix. It’s all packaged and ready for giving.

Food delivered to two blessing boxes today. My usual at the college and one outside of a middle school. I’ll be dividing my donations between the two. Awake until 5 am, so a nap was in order for today. First batch of mini Christmas cookies baked. 3 egg yolk mini chocolate chip.

My first Christmas card arrived from Col Bob my veteran pen pal. He recently got married to someone he went to high school with. He sent me a wedding photo. The absolute sweetest surprise.

House feels like it’s back in order. Trip to the grocery for some of my holiday favorites. A pickup at Michael’s for card making supplies. Tomorrow I’ll leave the house to walk Ella and pick up red and green yarn at Michael’s I ordered today. I’m making a Christmas scarf for me.

Home after house/dog sitting since Wednesday. I’ve turned off all of the alarms starting with that 5 am start to the day. I’m taking the rest of the week to just relax and putter around my corner of the world.

A little craftiness today. I had a wonderful pork chop sandwich from a small local restaurant for lunch. A few more days and then back home to my corner of the world. Not time for the ruby red slippers yet…

Home for a few hours to run some errands and do final prep for Sunday’s delivery to the Blessing Box at the college. I baked 5 little chocolate cakes and this time I added sprinkles. I created some tlc cold bags to include. A friend sent me Advil and cough drops. Cards to add too.

Did my best to fill the blessing box at the local college campus. There were 3 people a few hours apart today doing their best to help out by adding more items. One person had the brilliant idea to leave a notepad for suggestions of items. I think we are the blessing box aunties.

The frost last night ended the summer impatients on the front porch. It’s November, I was able to enjoy them for quite some time. I need some more pansies. I made some wonderful tortilla soup for supper. A good/busy day.

Food to eat, a roof over my head, heat and lots of blankets to snuggle under. It’s cold and windy outside and I’ve felt chilled all day. I have the luxury of turning up the thermostat. My life is filled with abundance.

There was a pop up sale at the museum today. No takers for my 2:00 tour. I did buy some cute gifts….with my 15% docent discount. I hacked down the giant lantana plant in my front yard. It will be back again next spring. Winter is coming. 🥶

Funerals or no funerals? A local friend died this week and I’m a hard pass on attending tomorrow. I’m definitely not having a funeral but I don’t disparage those that do. Just as I am ok with not attending. I also think flowers are for the living to enjoy. So no flowers when I die.
