(Day 7) without Cleo: swimming, buffet building, casserole baking

Today was a bunch of highs and lows.

Some of the highs were hearing of a friend's upcoming wedding,

swimming with my sweetheart and making 

more turkey casserole.

The lows included the buffet having some hiccups in building

(we can't figure out how to get the drawer to go in correctly)

and I got super teary later tonight...

this morning I had packed up Cleo's things in her newly cleaned food jar

to keep and the buffet is where she used to eat,

and her little picture frame, yet without a picture, and her sweet Angel

are on the buffet now. 

(The buffet is 2 small identical ones pushed together.)

***

We buried Cleo a week ago today and I was surprised at 

how much I cried today.

I miss that little fur-ball... 

***

Tomorrow I need to go to NYC to return library books

and do some errands. 

I pray that God will get us all through the hard times we have

and that in His mercy, He will forgive us.

May the Lord's loving-kindness be poured out on us! 

Great Day Today

I finished this new square for my
Yarn Quilt.
*
I went swimming this morning with a friend at an outdoor pool!
*
In the afternoon I went to a new to me yarn store and
got this book:
The Knitter's Year
which was not just lovely things to work towards
learning how to make
but beautiful photographs as well.
*
And then Mr. Husband came home and we went out to eat!
A fish day ~ I had salad and mussels. :)
*
How was your day today?

Yay!

 

Sunny and cold this morning
(above freezing but a bit cold)
which is my Favourite!
*
I went swimming!!
I did.
Yes and just doing something new
and something good
felt great.
And it is going to help me get to know things...
*
My next step is to research the local school
that I went swimming at to see
if they have any classes or something
I can be involved in
while I continue to get my bearings...
*
I am not planning on looking for full time work
for various reasons that Mr. Husband
and I discussed
but I may look for part time work
in the new year.
*
We have a lot of other commitments and
involvements that
we are still working on that
full time work
for me would work against
instead of for.
*
So.
I am re-reading the L'Engle book and am going to do
a bit more this morning.
Next thing this afternoon
is going to the City.
With my camera;
hope to share pictures later.
*
Including another one of Cleo :)
