Quiet Sunday

Spent a quiet morning, relaxing with daughter, on her last morning at home on this visit.  Later, she packed her bags and I gave her some food from the freezer to take with her - the packet of shrimp curry, another container of curry, and some Sri Lankan sweets that had a filling of sweet mung bean paste.  She cleaned the litter box before she left for the airport.  Her flight was in the early afternoon, so I dropped her off at the airport and came home to have lunch - some of the leftover grilled chicken she had brought home from the barbecue and some green peas and carrots:

Sunday Lunch

After lunch, I watched a program on TV on the National Geographic channel and then, took a nap!

Two of my aunts and a cousin called in the evening and later, I put water to the front garden.  I spent the rest of the evening video chatting with my daughter who was feeling a bit homesick after spending a little over a week at home.  Now that my treatments are coming to an end, she won't be coming home quite as often as she has been, but she'll visit again in October, and for Thanksgiving and probably over Christmas.  So, it's not too bad.

Sunday's To Do List:
- Take daughter to the airport - DONE
- Clear table in family room - STARTED
- Paperwork/Filing - DID SOME
- Water the front garden - DONE

Monday's To Do List:
- Go for last radiation session!
- Clear the family room table
- Paperwork/Filing
- Clean out fridge
- Empty waste baskets
- Take trash cans to the curb

Today, I am grateful for:

- Spending a relaxed morning with daughter on her last day home
- Daughter had a safe trip back to her apartment
- Afternoon naps
- Phone calls from aunts and cousin
- Just one last radiation treatment left!

This was Dancer, last night, waiting for daughter to come home:

    When I first tasted Indian sweets they blew my mind. I bet Sri Lankan sweets are even more awesome! x

      I love Indian sweets, too. Some of them are common to both countries, others are different. I'm rather partial to the Sri Lankan sweets because they are a taste of my childhood. Also, some of them tend to be rather labor-intensive to make and I don't always have the proper ingredients.

      How cute! Our Baby (orange tabby) is teeny and weighs 8#. She's 14 yrs old this year. Hubby teases that we needed to trade her in for a "real" cat. LOL.

    I'm so glad you were able to spend all that time with your daughter and that your last radiation is now done! Yay!!!! Dancer looks nice and comfy there on that towel. My husband tells me that our Rufus waits for me to come home too. :)

    My weekend was actually really nice. We got a lot done around the house and hit some yard sales on Saturday. We found some great deals and even got some free stuff at those sales and at the grocery store. Sunday we were invited over for dinner at one of our son's home and enjoyed time with them and our grandchildren. :)

      Yes, definitely! I have been reading the Bible verses you sent me, Angela, and holding on to the promise contained in them.
