Tuesday Before Christmas

I had a productive day, but didn't do much that was Christmas related, other than buying two gift cards for the daughters of one of my friends.

I spent the morning doing office work.  Then, brought my trash cans in and went over to my neighbor's house.  She had called me in the morning to ask if I was planning to go grocery shopping in the next couple of days and, if so, could I pick up a few items for her.  Her husband is in hospital and she no longer drives.  I told her I was planning to go in the afternoon and she said she'll write out a list for me.  So I picked up the list from her and went shopping.

First, I went to the pharmacy to pick up some magnesium supplements and another bottle of Vitamin D supplements as the pharmacy was having a sale on the supplements - buy one, get the second at half-price.  Then, I went to the grocery store and bought the items my neighbor wanted and did my groceries, too.  I bought a few other things, including the two gift cards, so I need to sort through my receipt before I post about my groceries.

I had a disturbed night of sleep, last night (woke up at 3:45 a.m. and couldn't fall asleep again until after 6:00 a.m.) and the shopping tired me, so I took a nap after I came home.  After I woke up and had a cup of tea, I settled down to do more office work and finished only after 10:00 p.m.  I did take a break to have my dinner of soup and a sandwich and I video chatted with my daughter while I did the last bit of my office work.

Tuesday's To Do List:
- Office work - DONE
- Pharmacy - DONE
- Grocery shop - DONE
- Bring trash cans in - DONE

Didn't write any cards and didn't trim the tree!

Today, I am grateful for:

- Phone calls from family and friends, emails, video chatting with my daughter

How was your Tuesday?

  2. It's wonderful that you could help out your neighbour even though you aren't feeling great yourself. Try to get some rest and don't overdo things!

    1. I was happy I was well enough to help her. :) I am taking it easy, I promise! Doing the bare minimum and learning to be content with it.

    1. Thank you, Judy. I was happy to be able to help my neighbor. Yes, I am learning to take rest breaks, instead of pushing myself to finish a task!

      I hope your plans to celebrate Christmas with your family are going according to schedule. Will you be cooking the entire meal or are the others helping you?
