Well, naturally, it just had to be a Sunday. Even better, after my hot lemon drink before bed, I slept like a baby, woke up to a dream about wearing designer shoes (which I haven't done for 50 years, alas), the cats all behaved during the night and I shooed them into the dining room for brekkie before 6:00. I also located my winter boots and forced myself to wear them. Luckily, I managed to get them on without needing to jam my feet in, so that means that the swelling has subsided at a glacial pace over the last several months. Sigh.
I was also lucky in that my driver rang the doorbell, so I had plenty of time to walk out, knowing that I wouldn't be sitting outside shivering. I was pleasantly surprised to see that SuM had put wee lights out on the railing of the deck. Aww. I arrived at church so very early, so hung around the Repair Café watching our resident Ms. Fix-It working with determination. I also watched another acquaintance setting up a table for selling her painted rocks. I hadn't been entranced the last time by the simple designs but I was enchanted this week, so picked up two. Oh, they were heavy. Each came in a cute gift box. I also brought the remote control for the fireplace, asking church-John if he could see whether I'd done it right. Well, he managed to get the battery compartment stuck, so said he'd take it home to fiddle around with it. However, he also told me that I could switch the fireplace on manually. Oh, yay. I can still use it! I also mentioned that I'd be sending him a reminder of all of the social things we want to do, and suggested January 8 for our grand Sunday brunch at the Royal York, along with sneaking out after an early Communion.
The service was very uplifting and stirring with Sam preaching - again - about not trying to be a "good girl". Mega yay for overcoming societal disdain regarding one's own self worth. After the service, I only had to wait a few minutes for my cab. The driver was very nice and we actually had a long talk about eye conditions, as his father also had a detached retina.
When I got in, the first thing I did was turn the fireplace on and heat the place up. Yay, it works. I'll still read the manual, because I was unable to increase the heat setting to high. But, still, it WORKS.
SuM came home late afternoon. I'd already posted my review of the service and fed the cats who were now ALL sleeping, one on the bed, one on the bed extension, and one on a dining chair. Okay, okay, cats, I get it. You're all comfy around me. Oy.
I managed to doze off during the wrong channel news (as always, I blame American football). When I woke up, there was an e-mail from my choir friend who's redesigning my wedding rings. I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to see the details of his designs. Anyway, I've just taken my evening pills and am waiting for my headache (a snow-ache) to dissipate. ::crosses fingers::
