Week 4 Joys

 I can't believe this month has just flown by like it did. I am going to blink twice and it will be spring, then summer will hit us, and before I turn around good it will be the holidays again. Meanwhile these are the joys for this week. There were more but I forgot to write them down. I look forward to reading all of these again at the end of the year. Re-reading last year's joy lists was one of the best gifts I could give myself.

 Friday: The day began like most days now. I woke, I did stuff in the house, cooked and ate, and then we watched "The Crown" I am enjoying this season. Olivia Coleman has some wonderful acting chops!

Saturday: TheHub and I woke and got ready for the day. The peanut man was at his outdoor stand near our house, so we did not have to go downtown to ThePeanut Depot. Afterward we ran a few errands. TheHub is a huge Walmart fan. Me? Not so much. Instead of going to the actual store we went to their Everyday Market. I was kind of shocked at how sparse their inventory was. Who ever thought there would be a run on canned green chilis? My joy? I found 2 small cans in the deep recesses of the shelf, and reaffirmed my opinion that The Pig is infinitely better than Walmart for grocery shopping. And yes, I may or may not have said "I told you so".

Sunday: We were able to stream church services as well as having a Webex Sunday School class. Afterward TheHub and I had a chilled out relax and reading kind of day. The weather was gorgeous and the screened porch was terribly inviting!

Monday: I met with my beloved sister at Mom's house for us to go through the sitter records to get everything ready for the accountant to file the 1099 forms. There is a certain joy in being done with a chore that you know you will not have to do again.

Tuesday: The day begin very badly. One of Mom's sitters passed away from Covid. I had kept in touch with her and her daughter, who was also one of Mom's sitters, very regularly and knew she was struggling with it, but things went from bad to worse very quickly. It breaks my heart. The world lost a very caring and loving person. 

TheHub called from work to say he wanted to have a "ball-game meal"  That is his code for something picked up on his way home. No cooking suits me just fine.

Bama's basketball team was playing Kentucky. They had actually beat Ky. in Lexington earlier in the season so this game was supposed to be a huge battle with Ky seeking revenge. Though the game was very tight, Alabama managed to pull off the win in the last minute of play. Roll Tide!

Wednesday:  I began the day with an early FaceTime call from Pip. She wanted me to see her play in the snow, and of course I wanted to see her.

This does not sound like a joy but it really was. Mom's accountant called to let me know her forms were filed, so I could come by and pick them up. I stopped and put them in the mail on the way home, plus I picked up her tax organizer. Now we can get her tax info together and get it to them. There is a huge joy knowing we can see an end to Mom's tax business.

Thursday: I had a stay at home, no makeup kind of day__again. My life is sort of like the movie "Ground Hog Day" doing virtually the same thing over and over and over. My Santa letter partner in crime dropped by ( she stayed on the porch and I was in the foyer both masked) and left me a wad of moolah! I was happy about that.

I hope you all can find your joys this week. Wear your masks and stay healthy.
