Warm On Tuesday

 

Daughter's Christmas Tree 2020

This is a picture of the cardboard Christmas tree my daughter made for herself in 2020 when it looked like she might not be able to come home for Christmas because her friend who was giving her a ride home had been exposed to Covid.  However, her friend tested negative and daughter did make it home for Christmas, after all.  She explained what all the symbols represented and I copied and posted it on my blog post, that year.  I can't believe it's been four years since then!

It was sunny and warm on Tuesday, with a high of 75F.  I didn't need a jacket when I went out!  That rarely happens in the winter!

In the afternoon, I took daughter to get her flu vaccine during her lunch break.  There was no waiting at the walk-in clinic and she was in and out in five minutes.  On the way home, I treated us to a coffee drink and pastries from her favorite drive-through coffee shop.  A bit of a splurge, but, I wanted to make it a special occasion.  There was no line at the coffee shop, either and we were home before her lunch break was over.

I spent some time crocheting the border of the blanket I am making, while watching the evening news and a online video.  I have about 3 or 4 more rows of the border to crochet and then, that blanket will be finished.  I'd like to get it done before Christmas!  

The pastries were our brunch and we had some crackers as a snack around tea time, although I didn't make tea because we had that coffee drink we had bought (daughter and I shared it).

For dinner, I baked the last two lime/ginger/chili marinated frozen salmon steaks we had been gifted at Thanksgiving, and made roasted cauliflower to go with the salmon, along with rice cooked with green peas.  A cut up fresh orange for dessert, followed by a piece of baklava.  

On Tuesday, I was grateful for:

- A sunny and warm day
- A safe drive to the clinic and back
- No waiting at the flu clinic
- The availability of vaccines for those who want them
- Being able to treat us to a coffee and pastries on the way home

Tuesday's joyful activity was crocheting.

Plans for Wednesday include tending to the garden with M and setting up the Winter Village.
