It Seemed the Thing to Do
The day started slow and before I knew it, I was putting Christmas decorations away from the Christmas tree. I had just as much fun taking the ornaments off of the tree as I had putting them on. I have a tote that takes them all in with lots of tissue to wrap swaddle them. Everything went so well, I continued to add the Nativity to the tote.
Dennis watched and commented that it would be nice if we could take the top of the huge seven foot wooden cabinet in his bedroom, put glass doors it and leave some of the goodies out within the cabinet year-round. That is a sweet idea. I reminded him that our clothes would be in cardboard boxes. He said it was food for thought and he also commented that I am really good on figuring things out. This is most certainly true. My sewing studio was born out of a concrete floor and sub-quality windows and air quality. Hmm. The cabinet is food for thought.
The sun was doing a great job shoving the temp to 39 degrees. Dennis decided to get out his little red pickup to visit buds. I surely couldn’t blame him. I have plans for Tuesday to be out and about. During this last week, I have taken to getting things done in the house and stopping off at the dining room table from time to tome to try and poke in a few pieces of the jigsaw puzzle.
I always check things out on the computer each day. Surprise! The stimulus payment was in the checking account. Sweet.
Chili and grilled cheese sandwiches are on board for supper. Dennis had announced this noon that there would be ice cream after supper. Foretold is forewarned. It has been since Christmas since the ice cream scoop has seen the light of the kitchen. I think we deserve that.
As I had said a few days ago, working on that dang jigsaw puzzle does gives way to wondering thoughts. The past has been my lesson, the present is my gift, and the future is my motivation. I feel that 2021 is going to be wonderful, I am not going to live the same year over and over. I feel it may be fun to do a few things differently. It seems the thing to do. Not to worry . . . Dennis is not going anywhere.
