All dressed and raring to get my Christmas groceries ( I wanted to wait as long as possible for the fresh veg and stuff ) but still sitting here waiting on DH to return from the scheduled oil change.

Good morning. Went for a nice walk this morning, I'll use the stationary bike this afternoon.
I have lots to do today, laundry, cleaning etc. I think I'll procrastinate more by looking at printable coupons and online sales
Have a great day!

HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE!!

The days will be getting longer, yay!

Doin' nuthin' today!

Itll be too cloudy to see the "Bethlehem " star this evening...Jupiter and Saturn so close together, so I'll have to rely on my Skywalk 2 app to see them. If you haven't downloaded that free app....its AMAZING!!! Our DD gas an app we often used at camp where she holds her iPhone up to the sky, or even down to the ground, and sees the stars and constellations. We enjoyed that so much! It'll be mine when she upgradesxher phone! Woohoo! It'll be my new addiction.

Enjoy the day, everyone!!

Happy first day of winter!
We did have two days/nights of low minus twenties, bit it has smartened up now to negative single digits.

I took one year of tough typing at the convent, grade nine. My numbers blew everyone else out of the water - and it was a standard. no electric. Our teacher would come around and correct our posture with a metrestick - as well as checking the length of our uniform skirts, which had to have the hem hit the floor.

Once I aced typing, I felt no need to do further classes.
The next year I got a summer job at a publishing company, they also did local newspapers. That was cool because you typed on film, which you had to develop and take it to the proofreader, and you would get lines with a typo returned.

So my regular typing speed in school was 88 wpm; I remember testing on the first pc I ever used, and got 130.


My last two days were horrid, never cried so much and so long ever.
Did not sleep at all last night, but I am going to have a bowl of soup now and hope that's okay.

Continue with all your fun - remember I am living vicariously through you!

Hope everyone has been doing well. Still going to the gym but the lockdown is starting soon. Here it’s only supposed to last about 2 weeks. The gym will let me have a couple 20lb dumbbells for that time and I’ll still try to get out for walks.

@Natalka , "first day of winter" sounds so depressing! Lol! I much prefer "first day of longer days".
