Status Report: November
Tuesday, November 5, 2013 at 5:02PM Sitting…on the couch in the living room.
Drinking…a cup of tea.
Eating…leftover (but delicious) stew made from packaged meatballs and all kinds of Yukon-grown veggies. If it grows in the Yukon, it’s probably in my stew.
Half-watching…the Raptors play basketball.
Noticing…how short the days are getting. We are only seven weeks, I think, from the shortest day of the year.
Liking…the layer of snow on the ground, but wishing we had more. Once we get to November, we need snow to brighten up the dreary landscape and gloomy sky.
Feeling…pleased to have lots of new blown-in insulation in the attic. My sons, son-in-law, and a friend put at least a foot more insulation up there last night. (The attic was the one big weak spot left in the insulation of the house.)
Anticipating…the return to the kitchen remodel scheduled for later this week. The big question: Will it be finished for Christmas?
Adjusting…to living alone in my home again. Youngest son moved out of here and into the cute little house in my daughter and son-in-law’s back yard. So far it’s not been much of an adjustment because son is still spending a lot of time here working on projects—and eating my food. (This move means I have no dog living with me either. Should I get one? Or should I be content with the three granddogs who visit me regularly?)
Wondering…if granddogs should be followed by who or that?
Reading…Covenantal Apologetics by K. Scott Oliphant. Yes, still. But I am getting toward the end.
Thanking…God for fresh snow and a warm house. And for the extra-long fall (for us), too.
Wishing…you a November full of thanksgiving for blessings from our heavenly Father. (If you’re on Twitter, why not use the hashtag #novemberthanksgiving to tweet some things you’re thankful for, too?)

Oh, you must miss the dog! When our Sally died, I found the house felt so empty!
I think David will be with me almost every working day. But still, sometimes I miss the doggy company in the evenings.
I would, too. When Neil went away for a few days a couple of weeks ago, I was very happy to have Luna here.
