| Holiday Card |
On Friday, I called the monks at the temple to confirm that the almsgiving will be held on January 3. Later, I did a load of laundry (daughter's bedding) and ran the cleaning cycle on the washing machine.
In the afternoon, daughter and I visited friend R to exchange Christmas gifts with her. It was a masked, curbside visit. Covid numbers in my area have doubled since the beginning of November and I am taking as many precautions as I can! We also took her a portion of the turkey cottage pie and roasted vegetables, plus some peanut butter cookies.
After we came home, we had tea and I made four more cards to mail. I have three more cards I need to make! Next year, I'm just going to buy a box of cards! LOL!
The good news of the day is, I received the results from the mammogram and it said that no cancer was detected! I am very thankful for that!
We had the last of the fish patties from the Sri Lankan restaurant and zucchini bread for brunch; dinner was some of the leftover turkey cottage pie and roasted vegetables.
On Friday, I was grateful for:
- Normal mammogram results!
- Working appliances
- Being able to sleep in
- A safe drive to friend R's and back
- Leftovers!
Today's joyful activity was visiting friend R.
Plans for Saturday include doing another load of laundry, making the last few cards, and maybe watering the garden if it doesn't rain (forecast calls for rain).
How was your Friday? What are your plans for Saturday?
I really like your holiday cards, you made me smile that you'll buy a box of cards for next year :)
ReplyDeleteSo pleased your mammogram results were normal. We have to chase them up here but I reckon they'd soon let you know if they saw any changes.
It's raining again here but no surprise anymore but the ground is sodden from all the rain we've been having.
Thank you, Eileen. I am very thankful for the mammogram results!
DeleteHa, ha, yes; while I enjoy making the cards, I think it will be easier to buy a box of cards! Every year, I plan to make them earlier and every year, I procrastinate until the very last minute!
It rained early this morning and it's still quite cloudy. I'm sorry you are having yet more rain!
Good mammogram results are the best holiday gift ever - along with having your daughter home. On other less important news, I want some peanut butter cookies that you've mentioned twice now. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, they are, June. I wish I could send you some peanut butter cookies! My daughter made them and they are delicious! :)
DeleteThat is wonderful that you have another clean bill of health from the breast cancer people!
ReplyDeleteToday we had breakfast with friends, and this afternoon the events of the festive season finally caught up with me and I needed to read a book and have a snooze! It was freezing and dull, so not a day to feel energetic.
Thank you, Bushlady. I am very thankful to get the good results. :)
DeleteI'm glad you enjoyed your breakfast with friends and, afterwards, spent the day relaxing and resting. We all need that down time, every so often. :)
Wonderful that you had good result from the mammogram! I will buy this coming year's cards this next week, while on sale, and stash them away. The cards you make are pretty and thoughtful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Celie. I am very thankful for the good results. :)
DeleteI, too, used to buy my boxed cards and gift wrap, etc., on sale, but, then, a couple of years ago (when Covid started) I started making my cards because I didn't go shopping in person to get the after Christmas deals. I really should have started making the cards earlier, this year, but, I kept procrastinating!
Your cards are looking wonderful. I'm sure the handmade ones are much appreciated by people. Great news on the results! What a good way to start the new year.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. As I said earlier, you make some lovely cards, so it means a lot when you say that my cards look good!
DeleteI'm so pleased with the good mammogram results! Yes, definitely a good way to start the new year! :)
Yay! I am celebrating your good news with you! So very thankful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mandy. It is very good news and I am very thankful!
DeleteFantastic about your mammogram outcome. Hooray!!! Bless, here's to a wonderful 2024, for you, and your daughter too. Lots of love xxxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ratnamurti! The results were one of the best holiday gifts! :)
DeleteWish you and yours a very happy and healthy 2024, Ratnamurti. May it be one of the best!
I'm so glad that your tests results were good. I wish continued good health for you.
ReplyDeleteYou make really cute cards but I laughed when you said next year you are buying a box of cards. lol
You should, we all should, take steps to make the holidays easy on us.
Thank you, Debra; the good test results mean that I can start the new year feeling good about that aspect of my life!
DeleteThank you for saying that the cards I make are cute. :) But, really, if I intend to make them again, I need to get started much, much earlier than I did this year!
I'm so glad your results were clear. You must be so relieved. X
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules. I am! :)
