Sunday was such a great day. I loved the cooking in the kitchen, sharing my herbs with the Darling Daughter, and watching The Boy cook up our steaks for dinner.
To cap that wonderful day off I pretty much did nothing on Monday. I got up, diddled in email, fed the cat, washed up, but never got out of my new comfy PJ’s. I might need to head back to Ross and find another pair at this rate.
I finished one knitting project, still working on two others. I ran out of yarn for the mermaid tail and waiting to hear from the yarn shop I purchased from if they happen to find anymore, otherwise I will have to undo the tail add in a different yarn at the end of the body, and re-knit the tail piece. Going to give it another day or so before I resort to undoing what I have already done.
Then there is the baby romper I am working on for the new baby that joined “the neighborhood”. Granted this baby lives in Washington, but his mommy lived here and is one of our kids friends, and her mom and dad are our friends. She gets handmade gifts.
I purchased from Disneyland metal art sculptures of two of the castles – Cinderalla and Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella’s Coach. They are models you have to put together. I’ve been just a little too shaky to work on one of them the past few days. I tried again but still cannot get the tabs into the slots to link the pieces together. Will try again soon.
I also received another package in the mail anonymously, this one contained two paint by number kits on pre-printed canvas. No mounting boards or stretcher bars, but looks like hanging clips are included with the paint. Anyone going to tell me who sent this? Looks like they will be beautiful pictures….
This has been a great cycle so far. Other than the shaky and the neuropathy returning. Again, in the mouth, what is up with that? My lips and gums go tingly throughout the day. My fingers and my feet I get, but my mouth?
Darling Daughter did text the Grandparents over the weekend and evidently convinced them that I am up for having everyone here for Thanksgiving as normal. Kids are cooking, although I am purchasing the food, so we will have our normal compliment of people for Thanksgiving this year. Dad, Mom 2, Little Bro #1, Nephew, kids and grandson. I can hardly wait. It already sounds wonderfully exhausting, and I am so excited for this to happen. I love being surrounded by my family. Even if I am just sitting there taking it all in, enjoying the noise, the teasing, the laughter, all of it. Makes my soul swell with joy.
Life is taking it easy and letting it roll on.
