Sunday Ramblings

 

Not too much happening around here. It has been so very cold since Thursday. The temperature just keeps dropping, but the sun is out and standing in front of the window in our living room warms me up nicely. In looking at the long term weather forecast I don't see much of a change happening all I see is cold and more cold. I do hope they are wrong, which usually can happen when looking so far ahead.

Once again I watched Mass on the live stream. Kind of different not needing to dress before, and really worrying about whether or not the vehicle will start once it has been sitting in the cold for an extended period of time. We have a very long winded priest, and if he could keep us there I have a feeling Mass would be 2 hours long. As it is, sometimes he has stretched it to almost that length of time. When it is -40C cars sometimes have a problem starting after sitting for that length of time.

Lent is coming and I am trying to figure out what I am going to do to enhance my Lenten experience. There are a few studies that I am looking at, and I think I just may try and give extra to the food bank here in the city.

This cold snap has made me more achy and tired than before. I am sleeping well, so my tiredness is not from that. I am thinking that perhaps I am in for a bout of my fibromyalgia starting. Or I guess I could be coming down with a lovely cold. We shall see what the next week brings, and I will keep right on pushing to get things done. 

I have tidied and organized one section of the storage in the basement. There are a few boxes that I will put in the recycling bin, and some cushions need to be put on one of the shelves. I can already see a big difference. We really must get out of the habit of just piling things up in this open area. It is right by the door so it is very easy just to drop whatever right there.

Next week I will start on the second storage area. This could take awhile longer as there is quite a bit in this area to sort. My totes of yarn are in this area as well as Christmas décor and some of Harvey's extra tools. We also have our wine storage cupboard here as well. Then there is the box that Harvey made to store our potatoes and onions in. That definitely needs a clean out. I am hoping that there will be more recycled and donated from this area.

I have been working on my projects and have not finished a single one. I am hoping that by tonight one of the smaller ones will be ready for the finishing touches. I guess that is what happens when you move between projects often. Oh well, it keeps me from getting bored with one project and I am always excited to return to it.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.
