On Thursday

 

New Clothes

Friends of mine gave me a store gift card for Christmas and I had the hardest time trying to figure out what to buy with it.  I didn't actually need anything.  Eventually, however, I decided to get a few items of clothing I had been wanting to get: a new robe (purple fleece), two tank tops (one black and one reddish brown) to wear under some rather sheer blouses that one of my cousins had given me (or to be worn around the house during the hot summers), and a pair of leggings.  We ordered them online and the robe was delivered on Wednesday and the other three items were delivered today (Thursday).  They are the first new clothes I've bought in a while and will fill in some gaps in my wardrobe.  That store gift card was such a blessing.

It's been another cloudy day, today, with a high of 63F.  I did a load of laundry, watched some videos, and knitted.  I also made some stock with a chicken carcass I had frozen; I will de-fat it, tomorrow, and make some chicken and vegetable soup.

I had leftover coconut roti and pork curry for brunch; daughter ate some chicken curry.  For dinner, daughter asked for roast pork sandwiches.  I sauteed slices of roast pork with garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper and made sandwiches with toasted bread.  I had some of my dump cake with yogurt for dessert and apple slices for a snack.

On Thursday, I was grateful for:

- A good blood pressure reading (it had been slightly elevated all week)
- Working appliances
- New clothes 
- E-mails from friends
- Daughter being home with me

Thursday's joyful activity was knitting.

Plans for Friday include tending to the garden with M and maybe a quick run to the library to return books.

How was your Thursday?  What are your plans for Friday?
