Yesterday was a really, really hard day. I tried all day to be even just be a little better, and all day, I failed. I ate food. I drank water. I put on real clothes. It just wasn’t working. I was in a funkity funk and couldn’t shake it.
Brady gave me every option to have a break, and I took them. I hid upstairs from everyone most of the day, yet I felt totally unproductive. When I did surface, I just felt ready to explode at every little detail.
We had some errands to run that we considered to be fun errands, but I was worried I’d wreck the tone and the fun. Also, we try to be really responsible, and at that time of day, it would leave us eating out for supper. However, the day was swirling the drain, and Brady made the executive decision that one supper out would not leave us high and dry. So we packed the kids up and headed to Saskatoon.
Can we just take a moment of silence to grieve the loss of affordable fuel for our vehicles?
*silently barfs*
Anyway…
We got supper first, since the kids would mostly just be sitting in the van, so they could eat as slowly as they wanted, haha! We put on good music and felt really relaxed.
Brady hit Home Depot first. He needed some lumber, which unfortunately, isn’t as easy for him to do on his own anymore. I am so grateful for our beautiful eldest son š Dekker went in with Brady and pushed the cart with the lumber on it so Brady could more easily get around. He can push a standard grocery cart, but it has to be light, and if it at all pulls funny, its just SO much more difficult.
Then it was my turn. I chose Walmart over Michaels because I knew they’d have more of what I needed in bigger skeins. I foolishly motored over to the yarn without a basket, and quickly saw the error of my ways. I grabbed the nearest laundry hamper, determined to get in and out as fast as possible. I purchased a mountain more grey, a bit more yellow, and a whole schwack of BLUES for all you BLUE people!!! Almost everyone who ordered from me ordered blue tones! Which is lovely! There is a great variety of blue yarn out there, and I have some, but I used up pretty much all of my little variegated blues and greens recently, so there were definite holes to fill in my stash. Are all you blue loving people happy with these?
I sure am! Plus my other random ends, and of course some navy in the mix.
I wanted to hit Michaels, too, but I knew me, and I knew I was finished for the day. Maybe another day š Soon, probably!
Too many creative ideas brewing in this noggin these days. For that reason, I REALLY appreciate those of you who shared, inquired, and/or ultimately ordered from me. It frees me up to be able to work and make a little money doing something I really, really love. Thank you, friends.
