Monday, November 16 - Poor Grandma Howard had to have a MOHS surgery to remove the cancer on the end of her nose. I won't show the really gruesome picture but they basically had to cut her whole nose open. I feel so bad for her but man, she is one tough lady! She just takes it all like a champ! And kudos to my sister for taking her and handling it all so well!
Tuesday, November 17 - I was having a rough morning. It's true. I get anxiety and I was near vomiting with stress this morning but I got through it and went to work. When I was almost done, I got a text from Jessie Price that she dropped a treat off at my door. A drink from the gas station! She didn't know I was having a hard morning. Yup, I cried at work! Then this afternoon, mom and grandma decided to run out a plate of cookies and a thank you card for the help that we are giving to grandma. I am so thankful for these people in my life that make my bad morning turn into a perfect day!
Wednesday, November 18 - Knotted Fern photo shoot day! They are fun and they are oh. so. exhausting! Our super cute Christmas line is coming so this was a shoot to get ready for that release. Can't wait!
Thursday, November 19 - Busy day! First of all, Ricki has outgrown and given away all of her winter coats but it has been an unseasonably warm October and November so it hasn't been much of a problem. However, it is getting colder so I asked mom's permission to give Ricki her Christmas coat early and she happily agreed. That is one happy girl there! Nick's school is currently closed due to the percentage of Covid cases in his school. He got done with online school by 1:30 so he and I went to Walmart so he could get his Christmas gifts for his siblings. Tonight, we had social distanced, outside, with masks card exchange. Haha! It was fun but pretty cold! :)
Friday, November 20 - President Nelson had a special announcement to share with the world today at 11:00 am. He, as a world-renowned surgeon, gave the world a prescription - to flood social media with posts of gratitude and hashtag them #givethanks. Social media has gotten so negative lately. There is so much that we are going through as a society that the negative is stealing our focus and causing anxiety, depression, separation, etc. He was inspired to have us flood the world with gratitude and positivity and see what that does. I'll tell you what, it is making a difference!
Saturday, November 21 - Dave and Viv stopped by this morning. It was perfect timing because we were going to swing by their house anyway. We had a birthday gift to give to Dave. We gave him a new sweater. :) I love these sweet in-laws of mine! And I'm glad we live close enough that they can just swing by and hang out for a few minutes. Even though that means masks and standing really far apart.
Sunday, November 22 - Ricki's teacher, Jewel Smith, drops stuff off about once a month just to remind Ricki that she is loved and cared about. She is so great! Ricki absolutely loves when Sister Smith drops these care packages off. :) For my #givethanks today, I was very grateful for technology. It allows us to sit home in our living room and participate in Sacrament meeting as well as Young Men's, Young Women's, Relief Society, and Elder's Quorum.
