Advent 2025 - Day 10

[wiseheart]

A day in the smial. Mum had her hairdresser's appointment - at home, the lady has been doing her hair for nearly two decades and is willing to make home calls for the elderly - so we started the day with washing her hair. I lazed around a bit after breakfast, since we had leftovers for lunch. The hairdresser could come more than an hour earlier, as one of her clients cancelled, which was great. Mum got her perm and looks 20 years younger now.

After the hairdresser left, I prepared food for tomorrow, since our on-site rehearsal takes place at 3pm and I need roughly an hour to get there. I also intend to go earlier, as my grandparents are buried in that very churchyard, and I couldn't get there for All Hallow's. So I'll go tomorrow. Some grocery shopping and a visit at the pharmacy will also be needed tomorrow, so it promises to be a busy day. Again.

And so will be Friday with the extra choir practice, and Saturday with the concert, and Sunday with the family visit... Honestly, I can't wait for this week to be over. Next week I want to bake the last cookies and will try not to leave the house at all, unless it's absolutely necessary.

That's so nice she will come to the house.

Well, she charges more than she would in the shop, so it's an economic decision, too. But still a great help.

There’s something so soothing and restorative about visiting the graves of loved ones. It feels like love and memory lighten the world.
How’s your cold?

My cold hasn't managed to manifest yet, actually. Clearly, wrapping myself into warm clothes was a good idea.

Yay!

Wow! That's a busy week to be sure. I hope you get time to melt into the settee next week.

I hope so, too. Except for some therapeutic baking, just for the fun of it — and perhaps finally a visit to the Christmas fair if the weather cooperates.

I thought you liked family visiting! I sincerely hope that my whining hasn't rubbed off on you!

No, it isn't you. I love it when H. and the grandkids come, which happens rare enough. But this is a different kind of visit: my eldest cousin with his son whom we haven't seen for, oh, thirty years or so. I wouldn't even recognize him, as he was about 14 when we last met.

You're sure keeping busy this week!

Yeah, and not even by my own choice. *sigh*
