Well, where did the seventh and eighth day of Christmas go ?? Darned if I know !!
We are in the middle of a winter storm. It has been snowing since 5 yesterday afternoon. The wind is blowing, temperatures are plunging and the windchill is near - 30*C. A good day to stay inside. I haven't seen one neighbour out moving; all the cars on the street are almost invisible with all the snow.
I managed to finish another afghan for Marley. She now has a blanket for her kennel. We looked after her on Christmas Day as ES had to work and ED was sleeping over at a friend's. It just reinforced my feelings that we should not get another dog. Too much work !! and worry !! She's a good little pup, but doesn't bark to go out ; she's so little I worry about her escaping under the fence. And she is a shadow which I fear I'll trip on. She hasn't been eating very much of the food she was sent with, nor does she eat out of a bowl, only off the ground ! So I put her food on a saucer, sprinkled it with about a teaspoon of turkey and she gobbled it all up ! When ED picked her and brought her home, she slept for 4 hours - either due to the turkey or the fact that she was outside so much ! They came back after supper to pick up her second afghan for her kennel.
Today we are supposed to be having EGS and GD over for a sleepover and pizza. We'll have to wait to see what the roads are like as they live out on an acreage and the highways are a mess. No matter we'll be watching the hockey game against Finland this evening and there is quite a lot of roast beef left over from yesterday's supper. We won't starve !
I'm sorry that the Christmas Holidays have come to an end. I do like my job and I am so fortunate to be able to work past retirement. But I have so enjoyed tinkering and doing projects at home. By the time I get home from work, I am beat after working with children all day. I only have one day 'off' as we have YGS on Sundays so much is ' put off '. Holidays are catch up times for me and it has been fun.
