12-27-21 OOPS!
I was just happy and heading to bed when I realized I hadn’t blogged. After all this time I can honestly say that is a first. So, coles notes on the day in no particular order….
Got a call from Sean that he forgot his phone at home and was in the Winnipeg airport so had to find a way to approve payroll so there was no sense worrying about it today.
Put away all my Christmas presents, hung a few more ornaments and the lights I was gifted from Roger and Ashlée
Went for a walk around the quarter section block with Tracey., stunned by the huge icicles on the complex next door, challenged by the extreme -19 temp.
Laid out the material with a plan to make Obi’s bed as requested by Roger, only to find Missy liked it.
Got a teary call from Danika that Gwen had to stay in hospital overnight as her blood oxygen was too low. She hoped I would take Emmy to give her parents a break. The problem is that I had to make a choice to take her and then not see the family until next year as there is no way for me to know what Emmy is sick with and I can’t run the risk of passing on anything to the visiting family or they wouldn’t even be able to go home. I went to Rae’s for dinner and games and puzzles for an hour before Jamie (the other grand) showed up to transfer her. I took E for a drive around to see the big light show and then we came home. While we were driving she got suddenly sad and told me tonight was the night Malcolm (her sister’s Dad) was going to tell her scary bedtime stories. I promised I would do my best.
I was very conflicted about taking her as it would mean me spending New Years alone and I had purposefully chosen not to volunteer this year so I could spend it with family. I was in tears when I arrived at Astaforoff’s to pick up their Apple TV 3rd Gen that I had purchased. Kathleen was so kind and listened and prayed over us all. Her littlest one was draw to me and he sat on the stairs and listened and looked at me with so much love. Seems that was unusual so I am taking that blessing.
Emmy told me a Zombie bed time story which was adorable and I pretended to be scared and needed saving by Bobot, a stuffy we have. She finished and then said. It’s ok nana, it’s not real. You don’t need to be scared.
I sewed a dog bed for Obi. Roger had bought the material and I think it is turning out well, except it needs more stuffing. I have some but it is where Emmy is sleeping and I don’t want to disturb her so I will finish it tomorrow. I forget that I love sewing. I looked up a pattern to make him boots as well and I need to see if I have Velcro tomorrow.
