Third shot

Hoping that this latest shot will keep my husband and I safe while we are with our family this Christmas.  We are not going to miss out this year; opening presents via zoom doesn’t cut it.  We aren’t going anywhere without a mask so we are going to restaurants, concerts, Christmas parties or hockey games but I still feel better with the shot. 

I tried to access the provincial booking portal on-line without success as their website crashed.  Even the telephone system was out due to technical difficulties.  It was very frustrating!  Finally….it dawned on me to just go to the tiny “out-of-the-way” pharmacy that I went to for my second shot.  I had to go to town to get my first ever bone density scan so I was thrilled that there was appointment time available in the afternoon. Sweet!! 

Christmas Kettle

No prompt- The Salvation Army is an organization that I have appreciated during my working career.  They always stepped up to help when the city I worked in had few resources (before it grew exponentially).  I think they do good work all year long and deserve our support. 

I was quite surprised when I saw this new addition to their Christmas kettle.  Yes, I tapped before I left the store!! 

Terry’s Chocolate

I really shouldn’t say anything against the colour orange because I do love a sunset and I do love sweet juicy oranges.  This fun confection is perfect; yummy chocolate with the orange flavour.  

Coral colour

No prompt- it is so interesting to me when I realized recently that I really like the colour “coral”.  It goes to show that preferences do in fact shift and that change is so slow that it went unnoticed until I bought the coral coloured Talens sketchbook last week.  I don’t really need a new sketchbook but I “wanted” it.  So, I caved. 

It snowed last night

 We got about 6 inches of fluffy white stuff last night.  I’ve just come in from being outside.  I bet chya can guess what I was doing!!!!(?)

This was my line of sight while drinking my cup(s) of Java this morning! 

It seems I piled the gesso on a little thick over top the charcoal pencil.  Oh well.

Just in case you’re wondering, it’s snowing again. 

Cute label design

What I bought earlier this week.

I didn’t bother adding the name brand, I don’t think it is necessary to document the super cute gimmick. 

Ugh! I don’t like delivering packages

No prompt- Grrrr! Not happy that I’m doing work and not getting paid for it especially since someone else got paid but didn’t do a good job.  I mean really, the app on my phone got me to the right address without issue.  Besides, the package was left out in the rain since we don’t have a covered veranda.  The last time this happened it was a package for the farm next door but still; numbers don’t lie.  Our green number (for 911) is clearly displayed at the end of our laneway, we aren’t #600 and we aren’t on the 7th Line.  Cheez, a multi billion dollar company and they don’t train their employees on how to use technology that would make their jobs more efficient!!!   It is just so annoying!
