Today I Have:
Felt significantly slightly overwhelmed
Prayed
Knit scarves for the homeless
Watched Road To Avonlea {which transports me to the era in which I belong
}
Snuggled with my buddies
Felt joy at the hot water bottle on my back {for comfort!}
The rest of the day I will:
Complete paperwork & work
Make some Pakistani food
Complete paperwork & work
Read more of Matthew
Complete paperwork & work {sensing a theme??}
Turn off all the lights, light candles and watch Downton Abbey {doesn’t Mr. Bates encapsulate goodness? Oh yes he does!}
Happy Reclaiming Simple Sunday to you all!
How did you spend your day?




Sounds lovely FT. I’ve been making chocolate cupcakes (for a birthday), eating a giant Sunday Roast and admiring Baby’s second tooth which made its debut a few hours ago!
Your cats are so cute!!
So, did you do paperwork and work today? Haha.
Today I:
- went to church
- shopped for a couple Chinese New Year’s decorations for grandparents and a pair of bunny slippers for niece (it’s the Year of the Rabbit!)
- did a couple loads of laundry
- watched Mr. C and J swim while I took photos
- had a family dinner
- blissfully witnessed J go to bed within 15 minutes! Bliss, I tell you!
- now that that’s done, I’m going to enjoy some peanut butter clusters that my sweet neighbour made for me with some lady earl grey!
Don’t fall asleep with the candles burning…but after they are extinguished, I hope you do fall asleep and rest well. I will sing a lullabye for you. Any moment now you should start feeling greatly relieved that I am much too far away for you to hear it.
Have a good week, my friend. <3
I had to work:( and I hate working sundays but I thought it would be alright since I only had to work 4 hours. Wrong! It was as always terrible. I don’t know why Sundays at a petstore are so terrible? I missed Downton Abby
thanks to the stupid football game on. But I’m going to stay up late to watch it, I think! I may wait till morning and watch it online
Oh well! tomorrow hopefully will be better
Sounds like you have a rhythm going
Today I am packing up my mom’s apartment as she is moving to a nursing home. I spent countless hours shredding paper til my fingers hurt. I cleaned the kitchen and bathroom, I packed things to take to my home, I took down curtains and sorted things that mom will take with her. I then went to visit her at the hospital. Then I tried to do more work and knit for awhile only to unravel it all.
So hope your mum’s move goes well!
Blissful! Your kitties are so beautiful…
And I’m so glad you enjoyed (ing?) Downton Abbey…I was hoping they would show it over there after I watched it at Christmas and loved it. Have you had (new) Upstairs, Downstairs yet? xxx
Not yet, I hope it is here soon! The original always reminds me of my Dad, he used to play the record on a Sunday, that almost brings tears to my eyes…
FT they are just so beautiful! How do you drag yourself to work each day?
When I picture a man for you, I picture the goodness of Mr. Bates and of course Mr. Thornton too!
Have a lovely day dear!
