They may be a little extra trouble, but they do make such a difference. Besides, they hide the state of my kitchen table which is v elderly lol! x<br />Lyssa Medanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07350926829113722058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-78472501463124291822016-11-23T04:58:17.663-08:002016-11-23T04:58:17.663-08:00So happy the computer wire didnt catch fire..

And it didn't happen in the night! That would have been a little more than scary!<br /><br />Yes, the week ahead is a busy one. The following week, too. But I've called the office and spoken with my supervisor; I'll be taking two days off before the almsgiving, so I will have plenty of time to prepare things. Just doing a little at a time and focusing on the important things, which is the service, itself. The intention is to serve the best of everything and offer a variety, but I know these monks and they will be happy with just rice, one or two curries, and a piece of fruit. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-53212520352212635162016-11-22T12:20:49.565-08:002016-11-22T12:20:49.565-08:00Thank goodness you spotted the smoke and managed t...Thank goodness you spotted the smoke and managed to unplug it before it caught fire and your daughter buying you a new laptop was certainly good timing. <br /><br />Goodness, you have a busy week ahead of you. I think you are doing really well keeping up with all your daily chores and your work as well as organising the almsgiving service especially when you're not sleeping so well. I hope you're taking plenty of rests whenever you can. <br /><br />No Thanksgiving in the UK but I'm sending 'Happy Thanksgiving' wishes across the pond to you :) xx Everyday life at Number 38https://www.blogger.com/profile/12945846951398052455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-91636854781122792472016-11-22T12:09:21.090-08:002016-11-22T12:09:21.090-08:00It took me a little while to register that the com...It took me a little while to register that the computer cord was smoking! I had my hand over it to hold it in place and I noticed from the corner of my eye that smoke was coming through my fingers! Removed my hand and gazed at the smoke for a second or two before it registered and I unplugged the thing! A bit slow, I am!<br /><br />Yes, the napkins and the table cloths my mother used to prefer to use for these occasions are rather high maintenance! The table cloths, especially (lavishly embroidered). I can't see my daughter doing what it takes to keep them maintained, but she doesn't have the attachment to them that I do.
