HECTIC AND SAD

I’ve been busy the past few days and I think it’s for the better.  Tuesday morning I went back to my stained glass class. I am trying to finish a large piece I started last year. I enjoyed the class so if I do finish this piece I will start a new one. I thought I would finish it and never go back. (I forget what I did on Monday!) I have tried to go swimming early in the morning. I think I have been going every other day. I am quite sore – not sure if it’s from the exercise or just arthritis. I’ve been taking Tylenol.
Wednesday morning I picked up my cousin and we went for lunch and did some shopping. After I dropped her off I stopped at the library and took out some books. The librarian recommended a book by Kristin Hanah. I’m really enjoying it.
Thursday I went to Kohls and Walmart. I bought two new bathing suits and a few tops. They are so cheap. One bathing suit is just black and the other is black with huge pink flowers. I also stopped at Michaels to buy some paper and paint for my art class which starts Monday. I can’t wait. Thursday night we went for supper with our friends for Montreal. They are here for six weeks.
Friday I was busy making my turkey for our supper last night. I think it came out a little dry. We went for supper to my friends. Most women made different salads. I didn’t particularly enjoy myself as I don’t like a buffet. I find it hard to eat on my lap. I was expecting a nice intimate supper but she has about 18. I have a lot of turkey left so will have to freeze most of the leftovers.
All week I have been cleaning and piling up stuff I don’t want. Actually I think on Monday I went through the storage room and piled up stuff to get rid of. I also did four loads of washing. Focal Point is coming on Wednesday so I am trying to get rid of as much as I can.
When I got home last night I had a phone message that one of my friends went on life support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! His two daughters are coming home tomorrow. One from Russia and the other from Amsterdam! Then I had an email saying that the doctor advised my other friend that his wife will probably die soon. OY!!!!!!!!!!!! I went to sleep with a very heavy heart. I asked my hubby if he wanted to go home for the funerals. I don’t think we will decide until they actually die. We will be losing two VERY old and dear friends.
Tomorrow will be a very quiet day. I might go swimming in the morning. In the afternoon I will go to the pool and just sit. At night we are going out with my friends and my cousin. We will have supper and then play SEQUENCE. I thought we would eat the turkey but hubby is not interested. Then the week restarts! We are all realizing that we just have about two months left. I don’t mind but I get upset with changing from here to there.
So I have some organizing to do and better get some more sleep.
Take care. Good health to all.
