Monday

Prompt: Fairy

Not based on any particular manga/anime; just a fairy.

Another sunny day with an afternoon high of 76F.  But, it was all of 60F inside the house when I woke up and I was cold!  It was warmer outside than inside; I bundled up and went outside to warm up!  I walked for 15 minutes up and down my driveway and along the sidewalk in front of my house and neighbor T's house and that helped to warm me up!  I also opened all the windows and even the front door (with the metal security door closed) to help bring the warm air inside and it did warm up to 70F, inside the house, eventually.  

I called the plumbing company I used last year when my kitchen faucet was dripping to tell them about my bathroom sink faucet.  The person who is their dispatcher said they've had quite a few service calls, recently, and the earliest they can send out a plumber would be Thursday afternoon, between 12:00 noon and 4:00 p.m., someone will call me when the plumber is on his way.  I was fine with that.  

I cleaned the fridge, today, wiping down the glass shelves, etc.  I discovered that I've a jar of jam that is stuck to the shelf and I couldn't budge it!  I guess I haven't been eating that particular jam (homemade strawberry cinnamon) in a while!  A wet dish cloth kept around the jar didn't do anything and I didn't feel like removing the shelf and running some water on it to loosen the jar of jam, today, so I left it stuck to the shelf!  

Later in the afternoon/early evening, I took the trash bins out:

Trash Bins in Front of the Driveway!

Not the best of photos as I was taking it against the glare of the early evening sun, but, I was documenting the fact that I put the trash cans in front of my driveway!  

I had French toast with bacon for brunch, today.  Dinner was chicken curry with Armenian lavash bread that neighbor S had given me.  Talk about fusion food!  LOL.  And for dessert, I had half of one of the Chinese moon cakes that S had given me:

Chinese Moon Cake

Double Egg Yolks and Lotus Seed Paste Filling

I am not particularly fond of egg yolks, but, the lotus seed paste filling was delicious!  I will have the other half of the moon cake another day.  But, I'm saving the second moon cake for my daughter because she loves them, too.  

I didn't do a meal plan, today, but, will make one, tomorrow!

Later in the evening, I called a friend's daughter to wish her for her birthday, called and chatted with friend R, and had an online chat with my daughter.  She is feeling well, again.

Dancer, too, is feeling well, again.  Here he is, cuddled up next to me on the sofa while I am on the computer:

"Thank you, Blog Friends, for your get well wishes!"

Oh, and by the way, Mama Cat has been using the box I set out for her!  I guess the nights are getting cold enough (we've been having night-time lows of 50F) that the box feels cozy.  

Today, I am grateful for:
- Daughter is feeling well
- Dancer is feeling well

- I was able to schedule an appointment for the plumber
- Sunny, warm October days
- What I was able to accomplish today

Today's joyful activity was walking in the sunshine.  

Plans for tomorrow include making a meal plan and doing some cooking!
