Memories.

 I had an okay walk today. I was thinking about Mum as I meandered about. It's getting to that time of year when songs on the radio (or streaming lol) are all about being with family for Christmas, or home for the holidays, and everyone seems happy or jolly. For a lot of people, it's a tough time of year. I'm missing Mum and I'm missing daughter and Granddaughter. I miss having chats with Mum, the virtual hugs and looking forward to seeing the New Year in together. I'm also missing daughter and Granddaughter. I won't get to see them for Christmas. I'll miss Baby A's first Christmas. She's standing on her own now and almost taking that first step. I'll see her for her birthday (Jan 2nd) but not Christmas. I was thinking about how I'd like to talk to Mum about it. She'd understand. She wasn't around me or my children and she'd know how it felt to be far away. I miss her. 

Sigh. Think of the good things. 

Son-in-Law sent me a video of Baby A. She was laughing and giggling, standing up on her own but not quite ready to take that first step. I am thankful that I've got a good son-in-law, one that thinks about sending videos and photos to me. It was lovely to see her so cheerful again. She wasn't feeling good last week and has been a little grumpy!

What's on the docket for tomorrow? (does anyone say that anymore - it means plans). Hopefully a walk. The quote thingy I posted yesterday really is proving true. Nobody's sure about snow - if, when, it's coming, how much, or maybe rain. I suppose we just have to see. The rest of it is an at-home day. I did a bit of tidying of the dining room table today. It seems to be somewhere things get dumped. I want it cleaned off so that's what I'm going to work on. There are also a variety of small projects around the house I want to get done.  I also have my ALPA (Asylum Lake board meeting) tomorrow night.

Photo - something that made me smile. Looking through memories (back in 2019) when I got a newer phone I 'discovered' the camera bit on it that made a generated 'photo' of me and then you could take photos of yourself but with the generated face on it. Not sure why this seemed like a good idea, but it did lol. I took several of me (hate having my photo taken)

I was showing Jane and she wanted to have a go too!

We both had a good laugh!
