I worked until noon. This afternoon I went to my weekly beauty shop appointment. I won’t go next week, but will go at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, December 30th.
We finished up some leftovers for dinner. For supper we had mackerel patties, salad, and fried potatoes. Sis had made some cookies today, so we had a couple of them for dessert.

I started knitting a pink baby blanket tonight. I got 15 rows done.
John called tonight and said Edna is in the hospital. It sounds like congestive heart failure. She has been in the hospital for about a week. He gave Phoebe her phone number so she can call her tomorrow.

I got up at 4:00 this morning and after checking my email, I knitted 10 more rows on the baby blanket. Then I made a pot of coffee. Sis got up later with a migraine headache and had to heat a rice bag and put it on her head for awhile.

Later we went out for breakfast. I brought half of mine home for tomorrow. When we left the restaurant we went to Wal-Mart. I wanted to buy a new coffeemaker for the office. I found one there and got it. It is programmable and has a charcoal filter to put in the tank. We have very hard water and the coffeemakers soon get limed up so I am hoping this will help.

We used a coupon later this afternoon to buy two Subway sandwiches for the price of one and Sis made apple dumplings for dessert. I have wanted homemade apple dumplings for awhile. They were delicious.

Sis and I both talked to Edna for awhile on the phone. She is hoping to go home from the hospital soon but so far the doctors don’t think she is ready.

Fred called later and we both talked to him. He had to go to the doctor and get medicine for an infected eye.
