Walking is the perfect way of moving if you want to see into the life of things. It is the one way of freedom. If you go to a place on anything but your own feet you are taken there too fast, and miss a thousand delicate joys that were waiting for you by the wayside. Elizabeth von Arnim

My busy day

 Got a lot done today.
Here's my day in bullet form.

  • Started off walking in the basement because of the snow. (6,000 steps)๐Ÿฅพ


  • Got a crock pot of chili going.
  

  • Did a load of laundry and hung clothes on drying rack.๐Ÿงบ 


  • Read my Bible ๐Ÿ“–


  • Did Body Electric, exercises I do with light weights 3 times a week.


  • Baked last batch of Welsh Cookies for the Drane house cookie sale.๐Ÿช
  • Then had to clean up the mess I made in the kitchen.  
  • Picture one, the mess. Picture two, almost done. Picture three, all cleaned up.
  • Then it was lunch time.
  • After lunch got the Christmas decorations up.๐ŸŽ„
  • Knitted the two rows on the temperature blanket.๐Ÿงถ


  • Back down the basement to finish up my steps. (4,000 for a total of 10,000)๐Ÿฅพ
  • Played the three computer games I play most days.  Wordle, Spelling Bee, and Strands.
  • Now it is time to get supper started.  A simple meal of pasta and sauce.
That's been my day.  Looking forward to reading and knitting after supper.

Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you had a great day.

Love your kitchen, especially the sink. I was outside for a bit today, walking and then back inside to ride my bike.

You had a busy day and got lots done. I have been doing laps in the basement too because the snow makes it hard to walk outside. I do about 40 minutes on the treadmill right away in the morning, then complete my 10000 steps by doing laps.
I like your kitchen, and like the others said, your sink is great!
I'm wondering what you did with the chili you made since you didn't have it for supper. Was it to freeze for later?

You certainly did have a productive day. You accomplished so much before lunch that it made me tired. :) The temperature blanket is absolutely gorgeous, Karen.

When you said it was time for lunch, I was surprised...thinking it had to be bedtime. :) You really did have a busy day, and got a lot done. Everything looks so pretty and cozy there.
