We were very fortunate yesterday to escape the storm with just some wind and rain. Other people weren’t so fortunate. The worst thing in our day was my complete screw-up with time. It began when I forgot that the kitchen clock could no longer be changed so for the next six months it is going to be an hour ahead of the rest of the country.
I told you yesterday about making lunch an hour early. 15 loved it but I was determined not to get out smarted by a clock a second time. Oh foolish me. I will preface this by saying I had prepared some of the evening meal in the morning since I was at home all day anyway. Might as well be ready, right? It’s just as well I did. I think I was so fixated on making sure I remember to subtract 1 from the displayed time that for the first time ever in my life I did some automatic maths plus some deliberate maths. That’s a roundabout way of saying I managed to take away 2!
15 was beginning to get annoyed with me by the time I realised what I had done and Hub had arrived home before the cooking was complete. I can’t remember the last time that happened. Somehow I had spent yesterday afternoon in Double Winter Time. No wonder I was exhausted by the time 15 went to bed.
We are more on target today – I think.
However if that’s the only thing wrong with yesterday then things aren’t too bad. Which brings me back to my plan for 30 Days of Gratitude in November with Cathy Zielske. See how smoothly I did that? I could be a professional. As I wrote earlier this month, I do not plan on making a separate album for this project. I am going to keep using Collect Photo App each day for my photos and journalling and add them to my Project Life album. I will see how this works for me this year and whether or not I want to change the process next year. However if you fancy making a separate album or just want to know some more about the project or some handy Photoshop or PSE tips for layers and digital memory keeping, have a look at Cathy Zielske’s blog for great advice.
I was asked would I share some of my spreads. The answer is, yes, if I can organise the photo of the spread to hide those members of the family who don’t want to be shown online and hide actual names. My kids have been know online for years as a series of annually increasing numbers. I don’t think they are happy to have their actual names revealed, although I could be wrong. I know Hub certainly doesn’t want to appear. So I will see how I can juggle things to share what I can while protecting privacy where it is required.
In the meantime I will leave you with 15 and the hope that your Tuesday is a good one and that you were not too badly affected by the storm.
