It has been a nice weekend, even with the cold weather. We didn't have any firm plans, except for doing things around the house that need doing.
Tim is working on replacing the treads and risers on the basement stairs. It's a slow process, but it really needs to be done. It will come along in bits and pieces, but it will come, as these things do.
We have long needed to replace the chairs in the kitchen too. The table is still in good shape, but the chairs have gotten pretty old and rickety. I had an idea to replace them with random chairs from different places, so yesterday I got on Craig's List and started looking for wooden chairs. I found two, and send messages to the people who had posted them. They were both still available and so yesterday morning I headed to Towson, and met a very nice lady, and bought this lovely chair.
On the way back I stopped in Kingsville, and picked up another one. It is very sturdy, with a few scuffs, but perfect for our purposes!
I haven't seen Danielle and the pups in a very long time and I sent her a message to see what they were up to this weekend. She said that they have been working to finish her basement, and asked if I wanted to see the work coming along and then maybe we could take the dogs for a walk. Well, I did want to see the basement, but I wasn't sure about the walk. It is so dang cold. Her basement is going to be really neat! I love what they are doing. There will be a bedroom and a bathroom, and a living room too! She still has half the space for storage. Her Grandma is pulling out some of her things to decorate when they get to that point. Paula came over and it was decided that we would go down into town to walk the dogs because they have been taking care of another dog and he needed a walk. Well, the wind was blowing and the wind chill was probably in the teens. We walked for a ways, but we were freezing. My fingers were numb even in my gloves. My face felt frozen, and Cora kept looking at me, until I finally picked her up and carried her to warm her up. I decided that we would get home as soon as we could get back to the car. It took a long time to warm up.
We stayed in the rest of the evening. I worked on my blanket and Cora slept. She was very tired.
This morning I got up a bit late, and I wasn't going to go to Walking With Purpose, but as I did my prayers I felt like I should. So I got out the door in time, and when I got there, low and behold, masks were optional! That was the biggest reason that I was considering not going. It was very good and we had a very good discussion after the video.
After WWP I met Tim at the hall for Mass and then we came home for the afternoon. I at lunch and then got to work making a cinnamon roll recipe that I have been thinking of trying. It was fun, but I fell off the sugar wagon, because I ended up eating one. I have been doing so well, and my psoriasis has really gotten better. I know from experience that sugar is the worst thing for it and I will be sorry. I will go back to no sugar tomorrow. I also made chicken enchiladas, and that's always a nice Sunday dinner.
Tomorrow will be a quiet day, but I do have Adoration, so that will be fantastic!
