Preparing for the Busiest Time of Year

 Shalimar, FL  (Hi  82   Lo 66)

Sunday I went with a neighbor to rehome her dog about an hour away. It all worked out but a very stressful day for her. It's sometimes a better idea to rehome a dog then to have something happen to you and someone else has to worry about it. We had lunch and headed back home.  It wasn't late so I cleaned up the yard since it was so nice out. 

I had a week of normal things I do, but I put in a few hours of crocheting. The craft fair is coming up, busy times are along with the time line of getting my crocheting done. No more goofing off. 

Tuesday was wellness class and it went well. The lady (Cathy) that started it has taken leave so I'm heading up the class. We discussed topics and what people want to do or learn about. When you're aging the only thing in mind is what's next at this age, health, staying upright (without falling) and mind health. We did a "concentration" game which made it fun. The old TV show about what is behind the two squares then the squares are covered and you have to remember where you saw the mate. It's a great brain practice. 

Wednesday I had Wii bowling then went to the commissary. There were a lot of people there and the shelves weren't stocked as normal.  When I got back the gals said it's end of year for them and they don't stock up before taking inventory. I hope that's the case. I've gone several places to get cottage cheese and that was all gone. I learned that there's been some big talk on Tiktok on how good cottage cheese is for different recipes and the companies are trying hard to keep up with the demand. My neighbor found it where she gets groceries, so I'm a happy girl. A few of us  folded the community newsletters so that's done for another month. They also had a "who dun it party" so we decorated a few tables for that too. We also decorated for the Halloween party on Friday.   (Click on the photos to enlarge)

Thursday I had crochet group. Our winter people are coming back.   

Friday I went to lunch with three other gals to a sandwich place. It's good place to go with lots of food. I got a couple meals for lunches. I have the dinners made from Hellofresh, but lunches I want something different.  The rest of the day was sitting outside in the great weather. Temps have been in the mid 80's and less humidity. It's wonderful. 

Saturday was get things done day. I made a list of what I wanted to get done during the weekend. I did three items, still have tomorrow to get the rest done. Maybe. I did help a couple residents out with some problems which always comes first. I just let things go and do what's needed.  If I don't get something done, there's always tomorrow, if not, oh well. lol  New way of dealing with life, I like it. 

We have F25A flying around a lot.  It's the sound of freedom and they're loud. I haven't been able to see them very often, but was outside and no clouds. They normally fly with two together, only one when I took the picture.
