I am shocked that it is almost 8 am. Not because I was able to sleep in, never that :nono: It is so darn dark out there. I need to see some sun. My light therapy is just.not.the.same.
Let's see, what did I do yesterday? I was able to put in an order at the FP and the volunteer there was super sweet and I was able to get PB and coffee and they also had ground turkey, eggs, butter. I hate so much that I need to do this and I wish I was the one who was donating not being the donate-ee. She was telling me about the coat drive the church is having and my brain started to click through my closet to see if I had anything to donate. Then it dawned on me:-- *I* was the intended recipient. :doh:
I started to scrap a page and the kit is phenomenal, it is my lack of creativity ATM that is holding me back. I had to shut it down and will start fresh today.
We are back to a steady stream of COVID cases in my town, just a few each day but in the last week, we had a 2 yo and a 9 yo test positive. How in the world as a parent do you care for a 2 yo? I cannot imagine how you can protect yourself when your baby is sick, even if not symptomatic. I would not be able to *not* cuddle and hold my little ones. Breaks my heart.
My mom's cardiologist appt went well, he is pleased with her kidney function and all of her vitals. Her heart is her heart and that isn't going to change. He told her no Thanksgiving unless it was outside.
On a bright note, my niece called Caitlyn when she was downstairs eating her lunch and I was in the kitchen. Listening to the two of them laughing and talking rats made me very happy. My niece wants to "see" all of the cousins for Christmas and loved Cait's idea of us driving to see everyone from the car. It will be good to do that, drop off gifts and cookies, throw Reindeer Food on their lawns LOL I really, really think that might be a good option for us. I should ask Caitlyn to make us Christmas masks too, maybe even decorate the car. It won't be the same but it can work.
Next week we are having our Halloween party here, same deal as the Theme Night but Leah will be here and we might have some Trick or Treaters. We are just going to put up a table in the driveway with some candy on a tray. If we get kids, great, if not we have candy for ourselves.
Ok, I think I have blabbered on enough today.
Sending everyone BIG hugs! ::grouphug
