My week has been spent cleaning, trying to get Christmas treats made (this last has fallen by the wayside the last couple of days), decorating, and setting up the budget for the next year.
With the economically inclined folks saying prices will be rising next year on groceries, I am trying to plan for those increases. Loads of fun.
I have also been working on those projects that I started at the end of last month and hopefully I will get those done by the end of next week. I really want to get some of the new projects started and finished. Mind you one of the goals for this month was to get the house decorated, plan Christmas Eve dinner, plan Christmas Day dinner, and bake those Christmas goodies. All of which are well underway or actually finished (in the case of the dinners).
I am so looking forward to actually perhaps managing to get all the projects (plus a few I have added, but not written down) done this month.
The tree we put in the back alley has disappeared. Harvey hopes the family a couple of doors to the west of us managed to snag it. They have three children and I know money is tight for them. Keeping my fingers crossed that is what happened.
Once again no pictures happening as nothing has really been completed. Most of my baking has been pictured on my blog in previous years. Simplifying has meant that really nothing new has been done in that area.
Kris sent me a text today asking if I had heard anything about my sewing machine. I told him I planned on phoning either Monday or Tuesday to see if there is an update on the repair. I certainly hope that I will get it back by the time Kris comes home for the holiday.
I am enjoying the time leading up to the holiday this year, life is finally slowing down and allowing me the time to take in all that this season of Advent means. I manage a study in the mornings while having a coffee, and I get to enjoy the lights and the joy of working on those things I really like to do. I have seen people that I have not seen in many years and enjoyed a conversation with them, even if it means my shopping time is a bit extended.
Life is moving in exactly the way it is supposed to as I age, and that is absolutely wonderful.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
