On my own

Monday is almost over. But soon Tuesday will be here. It's almost time for bed, and then it'll be time to go to work again. I don't want to go to bed!

Nils is away this week, so I'm on my own. Took out the trash and what not, and after this I'm gonna tidy the bedroom a little. We have stuff from our honeymoon trip still strewn around the bedroom. It's driving me crazy. Two weeks ago we were going to the city and I couldn't find my boots. In fact, I still don't know where they are. Sedihnya!

Thanksgiving weekend was nice and quiet. Dad had his radio competition, so we spent most of the weekend with mom. We didn't do much, just hung out around the house. Mom adopted a family for Xmas, and Nils and I are going to buy toys for the two kids. It'll be fun! I can't believe the mother didn't have a single winter coat and had been waiting for the bus out in the cold. It's amazing what some people go through to make a little bit of money for their families. So on Sunday mom dropped off a heavy jacket for the lady because she didn't want her to wait for Xmas. It's getting cold these days, she's gonna need that coat! I hope she'll be warm now when she waits for the bus. And with all this talk about recession, I feel really lucky that Nils and I are somewhat insulated from the worst. Alhamdulillah. All the same, we're sticking to our budget and saving all we can. At least it's just the two of us and we don't have any other mouths to feed.

Ok, I'm off to clean the bedroom. Laters!
