I'm back. The job went very quickly. The trash is out at the road and so is my brushed off car, waiting for Richard to come and plough. Actually I don't mind the snow or our January weather - I am Canadian, after all. Not keen on driving in snowstorms though and that is what I had driving to Ottawa on Wednesday.
Twynn, my theory is that the cleaning woman is called that because she cleans; otherwise, she'd be a tidying lady.
I hope your mood improves as the day unfolds and you work in your run.
Mathilda, I just keep telling myself that the days are getting brighter. I also must admit that the snow helps because even at night it's fairly bright. I have a problem with wine too, not with a meal but on social snackish occasions. I find the best thing for me is to not have even one salty munchie.
Cottage, I hope Jake is recovering quickly and is back to his usual delightful
self by the weekend. I have bills to pay as well and need to get to the bank with late 2011 donations to the Mill. In the meantime, I'm off to a Quilting Biddy meeting this morning - usually a Monday but NY screwed up the schedule. I plan to make my excuses and be home for lunch. Then I'll get on with MY life.
Chelby, I'd love to have Auston here today. He could shovel away and save me Richard's ploughing fee. Unfortunately it's not snowball snow so no little kids will be here building snow folks that I can see from my studio window.
Claire, Doug and Heather are coming for a simple supper tonight - tourtiere and salad - and I am going to ask them to take down some of the high-up decor. I have decided to keep my Bling Tree up and lit until after my birthday as it adds so much sparkle to the parlour in the dusk and dawn. I may take the angel off the top to semi-conform to the Epiphany tradition. The outside lights will stay on for a while too.
Time to get on with the day. Having to shovel gets me dressed for the day nice and early - much better than messing around on the net, sipping coffee wearing my robe. The dogs are puzzled though.
TGIF, Chickies.
