Holy mackerel, its mid November. And as I’m sure you lnow by now, unless you’ve been Living under a rock, the Jays did not win the World Series. Qu’elle disappointment. So now, onto Hockey! And lets see what other activities will or Are on my mind and keeping me busy?
Well tis the season, almost. And to that end I am so proud of myself, I’ve nearly completed my Christmas shopping! You might recall the Great Kazoo Christmas of 2024, well hang onto your toques folks, there’s more in the stockings this year. Think Harmonicas! Always a fav and usually a Honer from Grandpa Friesen. A cacophony of joyful noises, although it was mostly the inhale, exhale type of noise. Those of you who’ve had the pleasure know of what I speak. My Christmas budget however, is scant , since I remain unemployed and at the whim of my pension. But wait, theres more!
I gots me a job! A demo merchandiser, as of yesterday. So its some on site training and getting my schedule, and I could be be the Queen of handing out samples! Should be good. Seasonal? - probably, but its some needed extra loot.
Which brings me to my newest side gig: I’m going to sell paintings at a Christmas craft fair! This as the result of my lovely wee Scottish friend Mo, who scouted out a venue and booked us as M&M Arts. The fair is early December, so I need at least 24 pieces to present. And price - so since we havent done this before, there’s some guess work involved!! And so picking up my brushes, digging out some canvases, and finding my paints didn’t freeze and expire during the move, I have been happily binge painting. And must say I’m fairly happy with the results. As I explained, they aren’t perfect, but then neither am I! I am agog with anticipation!
So it seems my end of the year will be over flowing with activity! And tonight, I hauled up my tree and garland from the basement storage, and as if turning my dining table into my art gallery wasn’t enuff, my living room is now a disaster as I figure out why one garland won’r light up! On the bright side, my Christmas tree casts a seasonal glow over the apartment. And that fills my heart with joy.
There are days I can hardly believe my good fortune. My life has taken a very positive turn, and for that I am eternally grateful. I am so blessed. And cant wait to see whats coming next. I’m feeling positive that faith carries me forward! Who knew 70 could be so fun!
