So, as soon as its been repaired I'll have the test and be able to begin. Shoot, we've only known what the diagnosis is for what, a couple of months? What's another week or two? I'm disappointed, just wanting to start this before the last of the vision is gone which would make the medicine a moot point. After all, the worse this disease will do is take away every bit of my sight leaving me in total darkness.
Tonight was something new, chicken marinated in wine, herbs and garlic served with wild rice. Turned out really well. If I won't be able to eat out for the next couple of years or longer, we'll just have to up the variety on the menu at Chez Harris. When I cook in huge pans like stock pots I'm a bit more comfortable at the stove. Reaching across hot burners and pans to use the controls really makes me nervous. Silicone oven mitts give me a little more confidence, but I'm still careful.
It really felt great to get rid of most of the Christmas decor, I expected trauma after decades of collecting. Wasn't bad at all, I may get rid of some more before its all said and done.....
Now there's a huge portion of a closet freed up, my summer clothing is all in one gigantic tote, the excess and antique linens all have a designated space, and a lot of artwork that we're not displaying at the moment has a place that's out of the way. I may even have room for the grand children's toys which will free up space in the rest of the house...
Got the kitchen cupboards done with a weed out. Made one cupboard so darling Husband's snacks are all together. Put away a lot of items so the holiday serving pieces can be used. Talk about making a difference? Oh yeah!
Still working my way through BrocanteHome's Trash It Or Treasure It. I will say that becoming one of their Housekeeping SuperStars is the best money I've ever spent. Alison May has a way about her that makes the whole process a lot easier than any other ones I've tried over the years, and I'm so grateful to have found the program at this time in my life. Part of becoming one of her SuperStars is a cornucopia of different programs, designed to make you the best you can be in many different areas of your life. I'm looking forward to going through all of them once I finish weeding out the house. I have printed and bound her Christmas Planner, and hope to look at it later this week when I have time.
Tomorrow, the presents I've ordered through Amazon will begin arriving. I'll get them wrapped and under the tree ASAP. Thankfully, the dog and cat don't mess with the Christmas tree or anything under it like pets I've had in years past.
Christmas cards are out, sitting in a box on a shelf waiting for me to sit down and begin the whole process. There are an assortment of cards from various years past, beginning in the early 80's, and I think I'll use them before opening the new packages of cards this year. Who will say "didn't she send me that card back in '92?" Recycling? No, just using up what I have in this instance.
Bed time for Me!
