Sorry i think life is going to be pretty boring for the next two weeks as I’m just home.
I really wanted to sleep in today but was up at my usual time:(
Exercise:
In the back of my mind I’m thinking I’d like to see if I can run everyday if the holiday. I started off well with a run last night with Dennis and another 5km this morning on my own. I went right away because it wasn’t raining and that seemed to be a popular thought as it was quite busy on the path.
This evening I also got a short workout in. I was going to do a Hallmark, but had to knit so couldn’t keep track of the different elements.
Shopping:
I finally got out to get my nephew’s gift and the cord I needed for work. I also went out to a little shop to check out their puzzles, but the one I liked was $18 and only 500 pieces:(. I did come home with two new to me knitting books so it wasn’t a wasted trip.
Reading:
Oops I’ve finished a few books I’ve forgotten to mention. I read the Mistletoe Trap which was super cute! I really loved the family and supporting characters in this book.
I also have read Her Halloween Treat. This is the first of a three book series so of course I had to start with it. I am now onto the second book.
Knitting:
I had to laugh or I would have cried! I laid out my brother’s scarf to measure it as I thought I must be done, only to realize I had accidentally added a stitch 4.5m back. I guess that’s what I get for knitting while chatting in the lunch room. I ended up ripping it right back to the start. I have made up 30 of the pattern repeats and think I have 66 to go. I hope I can get it done by Christmas!
Holidays:’speaking of Christmas I am trying to compile a list of one thing I can do each day to be festive and take my mind off the fact that I have to be alone for the holiday. So far the list is comprised of: baking cookies, looking at lights, going snowshoeing, but I need two more ideas!
Blogmas:
The awesome Abbey came up with the idea for Blogmas of doing would you rather questions. 
Today’s question is: would you rather star in a popular holiday single or in a popular holiday movie?
This one is quite easy for me as no one wants to hear me sing! Besides, I watched two Hallmark movies today and I think I could do as well as some of those actors! 🤣🤪😜
Have fun!
AJ
I’d like to watch you in a performance. Actually, I did star in a single! Niece Chrissie asked me to sing her favorite carol, and she recorded it.
Oh that is awesome! I just don’t have the performing personality
I wish boring was on my list for the next two weeks. Our school has been under a long overdue renovation. We move back in over Christmas. Teachers have to do all the packing and unpacking. Major stress, but it will be wonderful when it’s over.
Oh my, that is crazy!! I hope you at least get a few days to recharge. I’m doing as little as possible for these two weeks
I get Christmas Eve and Christmas off, and hopefully a few days before New Years. As hard as this is, I’m glad it’s happening in a year when we all can’t be with our families. Stay tuned!
AJ, you can always call me if you feel alone over the Holidays. I mean it.
Aww thank you so much!! It’s going to be a tough one as even when my parents were down south I managed to get down for the holiday so this will be the first time I’m not with them:(
You could definitely rock the Christmas movie starring role!!!
Lol not unless I’m playing a grade one teacher
Haha you have the all the experience though with watching all the movies
Heehee
I hope you are able to relax and enjoy your break from work. I hope you find more things to do to make the holiday special for yourself.
Thank you
Good idea thinking of festive things to do over the break! There are a lot of things to do – your Hallmark movies of course. Does your city do a light display or anything like that?
No there are unfortunately no events this year due to COVID:(
😦
OK AJ, here’s a possible…any chance we could have a Skype, zoom, messenger, or FaceTime session? I am off for two weeks and I would love to enjoy a cup of coffee with you some morning or afternoon!
I had to think about it as my shyness got me first. That would be neat. Let me know when would work for you:)
I would definitely be in a movie, too. I can be quite the ham!
I think I could see that 😀
hahaha!!! Much to the dismay of my boys.
Lol
