As you already know I got purple dye from Janelle for Christmas! So, the next Saturday I dyed my hair purple in the morning. My friend Nicole and I went for nails and went out for coffee in the afternoon. I got snowflakes, snow man, snow balls and blue trim on my fingernails. My friend Nicole got her favourite colour purple nail polish. It was very nice little spa day!
On the following weekend I got to use my birthday certificate from the bowling alley. I guess when I went bowling with my family, the bowling alley had some issues, so they gave me a little birthday present. A certificate to a free bowling for an hour. I invited team three to go bowling on Saturday evening. Everyone seemed like they had a wonderful time.
On Friday afternoon while I was talking to my friend Mary, She showed me her baby boy Joshua Junior and he enjoys his book that I gave him. She said he wouldn’t stop fussing until she gave him the book, I gave him. Mary decorated his wall with my rainbow picture that I painted for Joshua Junior! On Friday evening we went to the Cheesecake Burlesque, and we enjoyed the outfits, music and there was lots of laughter in the room.

Then Mom and I made sourdough cookies and sourdough brownies. Friday evening was birthday bash for birthdays in January. We danced and Rebecca bought a spider man piñata so everyone got an turn to hit it.
Saturday afternoon Kelsey and Melissa took me out for coffee at Starbucks for an hour and a half visit. We have decided we should do a photo shoot in our prom dresses. We even got to FaceTime with Mary on the way to Starbucks. I coloured some of my colouring monthly calendar from an Rose Club prize from bingo or name that tune or something along those lines.

My friend Emily showed me her baby girl Brielle in the yellow and white dress that I brought her last spring!
Every evening I have started to use a machine that helps my hand that I don’t use that often. It helps it not be too tight! I feel it’s less tight and stiff, I enjoy the feeling in my hand while I use it. It’s like those Doctor Ho’s machines. I get a feeling in my hand and It feels like its tingly.
On Tuesday afternoon I coloured more in the calendar and talked with Mary and baby junior!
On Friday afternoon I cross stitched some of the flowers in the heart. We had Rose Club meeting and Valentine’s Day bingo! We decided on events and activities that should we do for the Rose Club’s March calendar!

We bought picture frames for the cross stitches, but they didn’t fit. After shopping, Kathleen, Elyse, Anna and I went out for coffee before baby comes! It was a great afternoon hearing how Elyse got engaged and what the wedding colours are going to be, and of course Kathleen was talking about her baby and her niece Isabel Grace and her issues with sleeping while being pregnant!

On Friday afternoon I finished my colouring monthly calendar from an prize from Rose Club! There are colouring pictures of some flowers and then it’s an calendar on the next page. I also did some word searches. On Friday evening we had birthday bash for the month of February! When you’re comfortable in your brown chair with your comfortable cozy blanket, and just don’t want to move, you can do birthday bash on zoom, but we can still dance and listen to music with our friends.
On Saturday afternoon I wanted to go and shop for Theresa’s birthday presents for her birthday, so Nia and I went to Walmart.

For Valentine’s Day I went to Centra Cam and we had an Valentine’s Day party. We played Valentine’s Day bingo in the morning, then Victoria and I met with Cherilyn and went though the school presentation and how to set up. Unfortunately we found out that the table doesn’t fit with my new power wheelchair so Victoria and I measured my wheelchair for an new table. Then, I danced and coloured some Valentine’s Day colouring pages. In the afternoon I did my fire hall interview blog! Anna and I drove over to my senior Sharon’s apartment and took her an adult colouring calendar book that I coloured and a big book of word searches just in time for an long airplane trip to New Brunswick!
