Today was busy. We both had an appointment with the podiatrist. She hurt me. The first and last time, she did not. Boy, was it cold (38) today with a bit of wind that made it seem colder. We grabbed a hamburger and then went shopping for fruits and vegetables. I forgot to get bread, but we may have two more slices and we can get bread ends from the freezer.
Tommy ordered a meal with fries! I was on the phone and did not realize what he ordered! I always tell him "no" that we don't need it. He was sneaky today, plus I told him to get whatever. He knows what I like and don't like, so I did not need to tell him. However, he knew I did not mean fries. Well, we both tossed most of the fries.
When I got up this morning, I washed my hair. It was mostly dry by the time I got to my appointment. Wet hair made me feel a bit chillier, too. No, wet hair/head will not make me sick.
Back at home, we barely got anymore decluttering done. I did wrap Lynda's gift. Now, I have two things to wrap for Tommy. I know I have ribbon but must find it.
It is 9:30 pm, and we will do more tonight. He just does not know it yet. I have some party dishes to wash. Plus, I need to empty the dishwasher, handwash party dishes, other little chores I do not want to leave until Wednesday.
The young woman who cleaned has a Russian name, so I asked her about the origin, how she came by her name. It turned out she was adopted from Russia when she was five, she and her half-brother. We talked about her experiences in Russia, in US, and about her take on her adoption, and the Russian orphanage. She was forthcoming with information and cheerfully answered my questions. No, I did not pry; she had a lot to say without any questions.
It is 9:30 now. We will move more boxes from the living room.
Dinner: I cooked in a cooking bag the beef that is thinly sliced for sandwiches, carrots, broccoli, and celery from a snack box that had a dip. We tossed the dip. Plus, we had a frozen, deli-type mac n cheese. It was a delicious and free dinner. Plus, there are leftovers for tomorrow.
Are you getting frigid weather this weekend? Have you finished shopping? Wrapping? Is anyone making a handmade gift? Toys for children? In the past, I baked, crocheted, did needlepoint, and sewed for my siblings, mother, children, niece.
