One Month Until the Big Day

 There is something about November and December that makes the time go faster.  It is like the hole that allows the sand in the timer to move to the bottom of the hour glass has expanded to twice the size.  A lot of my time has disappeared into various medical meetings.  Both husband and I have had at least one a week and the cat got in there last week.    Hubby and I each had procedures that had to be done in the hospital and both have to be redone so we are booked into January.  Mine is for eight in the morning at a community a good hours drive away.  Anyone who knows me at all, knows, I am NOT a morning person.  We are thinking of staying overnight but then have to arrange care for our wee dog.  My test involves two steps so I have to wait 4 hours and then have the second one.  Life is fun.

Winter has settled in and everything is nice an white outside.  All outside decorating is done and I really haven't thought much about indoors yet.  I have got my Christmas cake made so that is another item to cross off the list.  The postal strike is going to make gift and card giving difficult but we will deal with it.

Energy Returning

Halloween is over, daylight saving is over and Remembrance Day is on the horizon.  Fall is well and truly on its way out.  No snow here yet but rain has been non stop.  That will be good for the trees and other plants.  I have started the semi annual changing of the clothes.  Summer packed, winter out.  that always takes a while as the temperature changes are not immediate and I have lots of clothes.  Not going to say too many but others might.  I obviously don't think I have enough as I still keep buying.  Hubby says I am a clothes horse and he is right.

I took the children's clothing to my friend who is going to take them to the orphanage in Cambodia.  This little task went much better than I could imagine and I have been given fabric already to start another lot.  

My current task is making fleece hats which will be sent to a First Nations area in northern Ontario.  Our church does hats, mittens and scarves every year.  This is the second year for them to go north.

It is nice to be able to do small projects that have a big impact on the lives of others.  I consider myself to be so blessed both to have and to be able to pass on.

I have been feeling quite a bit better which is such  relief.  I am regaining my energy and my brain doesn't feel as befuddled.  It turns out that in addition to the esophagus problem, I also have and infection.  The latter is what has cause (or contributed to)  the fuzzy brain.

Hope all are well and looking forward to the coming season.
