Our Christmas luncheon at the bowling alley went well. Matt got into a mood because it was so noisy and we nearly went home. However, I got him some food and he settled down. The team we were playing against said we would probably win against them, then two of them started throwing strikes all over the place. In the second game one of them had a 350 game. Told him I hated him. In fun of course. We left before they finished their last game and he emailed me that we did win that one. Something I suppose. There was stacks of food left over. I ended up with a large bag of egg salad sandwiches. Guess what we had for supper. I had some for breakfast on Christmas Eve too. Matt had some for lunch and we still have lots left. Not sure how long they will last.
I had ordered a sweat shirt for Matt and received an email, dated the 24th, telling me it would arrive tomorrow, Christmas Day. I was somewhat puzzled. In the end it actually arrived in the afternoon. Odd.
Reading my blood for diabetes in the morning I needed to stock up with lancets from the bathroom. Whilst doing so, I cleverly dropped and broke my lancing device!! Typical. Phoned the pharmacy and they had one I could have.
The Community Support vehicle picked me up to collect shopping. I had loaded up my order to make it work my while (financially). Never met this particular driver before. Asked him if he could take me to the pharmacy as well, he said sure. I went in and got the new device and some lancets to go with it. When I got home, it didn't work properly!! Going back on Boxing Day, probably going to get a new meter (free) which will give me a lancing device too. The driver also agreed to take me to the liquor store, (I needed rum for the egg nog, didn't have enough). The parking areas all round the mall were like zoos, never seen them so full. Pretty dangerous manoeuvering. Glad I wasn't driving. Anyway, I didn't have to get the car and go out again.
Enjoyed our egg nog. After supper watched an interesting programme about Handel and how he came to write Messiah. This was followed by a Christmas Concert from Wheatley College (I think), then himself went to bed and I went and did some Spanish.
Don't know if I mentioned the fact that Matt is coughing like a good 'un. Monday morning it was better but then he started hacking again that night. Luckily bought some more cough medicine. I just hope I don't catch it. Neither of us normally catch these things.
No recipe today, if you even read this blog over Christmas, I am sure all your meals have been planned in advance.
So cheers and have a great day I will be drinking fizz on Christmas morning.

As I read your blog I am sipping on my glass of bubbles. You are right - Christmas Dinner has been prepared. Cold Chrismas dinner. It is tooooo hot to contemplate anything else.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you and Matt have a lovely day - and that his cough disappears and you don't catch it.
Enjoy your fizz Sue, haven't had mine yet, 2 1/2 hours or so yet. I can't imagine a hot Christmas Day although it is not as cold as it might be here, thick fog when I woke up, not gone yet. There is still some snow on the ground.
DeleteWish my dinner was all ready to go LOL. And, I have been coughing this morning but I'm hoping.
Tl let you know Sue, I have just caught the words and Cindi's blog.
DeleteMerry Christmas to you and Matt, Jo! I hope you don't get his sickness though it sounds like you might be heading that way with the start of your cough! We were out yesterday for a bit in the madness of last minute shopping. We didn't have any to do but enjoyed watching other people do it. We saw tons of people running red lights so at each intersection we waited just a half second more before we took off. Planning a quiet day here :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
betty
Yes, I am beginning the cold I think. I was in the madness but I did see the traffic problems you described. People are such fools aren't they. Glad you guys were careful. Will be quiet here too.
DeleteJust sat down after a very hectic day. Food must have been good cause I have almost no leftovers. My youngest son is sick, so he slept all day. I am beat. Ready for the holidays to be done.
ReplyDeleteGlad everything was a success Denise, but I am sorry to hear your youngest is sick. Pretty rotten at Christmas isn't it? O'm beat too and I was cooking nearly as much.
