12-29-22 Wonderful day
It started with a manicure which I love and a good visit with Minh as he did it.

I walked across the mall to Northern Reflections as I noticed they had a 50 percent off sale and I was still seeking a new outerwear vest. I usually find it to be too old lady for me but there was one vest in my new size so I decided to get it. Just as I was heading to the till I see my cousin Donna approaching and we decided to try on clothes. I ended up getting three good quality shirts, a night shirt, my vest and two lotions for a 218 dollar saving, costing only 171! I talked her into getting a less large pair of shirts as we all default to how we think we are. The smaller sizes looked really flattering on her. After that we went and grabbed some lunch together which was very enjoyable.
Back to the office I went and didn’t leave again until well after 9 but I got a lot done ready for January 1st. Stacey stopped in and we had a great visit. She said the roads are very bad out her way and I am grateful she was in the big truck with a heavy load of tires so she would have better traction.
I was wonderfully surprised to find a gift from the UK on my doorstep when I returned home and am chuffed with the innards. A new mug, who doesn’t love a good pun?! Two gorgeous decorations, they know me so well. These will likely be hung all year, just need to find their perfect home. The magnet is from their trip to Svalbard, which has a fascinating history to it. Look it up, seriously!


I made stuffed mushrooms when I got home and enjoyed the even more as they were made from part of yesterday’s gift. It was a productive and relaxing day, all in all, a good one.
