What was I thinking? This morning I got up, feeling like I was going to get a lot done. Vince was gone, I thought I felt better. I took everything out of two storage ottomans and started going through, pulling the charts I’m going to work on in 2022 and kitting them.
Then I started feeling bad, took the long nap and here it is after 10 p.m. and this is what the living room floor looks like.
I cannot wake up to this so I’ll stuff it all back into the green tub and storage ottomans and maybe pick up where I left off in the morning. Maybe not. I wish I could stay up and get it ALL done but I know I can’t.
Vince said he would grill steaks tomorrow so all I have to do is bake potatoes and make a salad.
Tonight, after the nap, I do feel a bit better. I can breathe. My head isn’t so stopped up. My ears don’t feel like an echo chamber. I’m still coughing but probably not as bad but that could be because of the cough medicine I took before the nap.

Kitting charts is such messy business because you have to drag out all the supplies. That’s sort of how my living room looked last weekend. It will be great to have all those projects ready to go. Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Between the boxes still out from the Christmas decorations and this massive kitting project and then I started another big, messy project . . what am I thinking?

Glad you feel better and I understand the mess. I have all the project bags without fabric in them on a pile next to my computer in the living room. That mess is still here as I have yet to calculate the fabric needed and never mind the mess downstairs where all my charts, thread, etc is stored. I made a mess going through those while trying to decide which additional projects to kit.I will get to it but I need to go get some groceries first.

I keep telling myself this will be all worth it because I won’t have to get the charts and floss and the fabric out again and dig through it all. We’ll see.
Ughh . . buying groceries or cleaning up the mess . . not sure which I’d rather do.

Sounds like you have that respiratory virus that is rampant in the US – it took me 3 weeks to fully recover from it. The coughing was the worst — trying to clear the lungs. I didn’t go to the doctor as I didn’t want to be exposed to something else. I hope you have a lighter case, but it doesn’t sound like it. Take care & baby yourself. At 65 I am amazed at all I used to get done & its far less now AND I don’t have a job to work! Energy is wasted on the young! : )

I agree. I wonder how just a few years ago I did what I did in Texas.
Thanks . . I think I’m on the mend but I don’t have any plans to leave the house til I go to get Addie when their Christmas break starts and I think that’s two weeks from now.

I can’t stop sneezing! I don’t know what the problem is. I was stopped up in the right nostril and it felt like something was in there tickling my nose! I got over that one and now it is the right side!!! I am going to call the dr. tomorrow to make sure that is all it is. I have no fever, just can’t stop this darn sneezing!!

Mine kinda started out that way too. I kept sneezing and sneezing and then my throat started to feel just a little scratchy – not really sore then my nose was so stpped up, then my ears — I hope if it’s what I have that you’re catching it in time and can get some meds to help.

This is not the first time I have had this problem this year. I think it is about the 3rd time. If I start taking the Claritin D, that day or the next and take it for about 5 days, it will go away. I started that this morning. I also use my Neti Pot and that helps a lot as well. I take a Zyrtec every day but sometimes the Mountain Cedar and Ragweed just get to me. I can’t take that Cedar fever stuff, it does nothing for me. My throat and ears seem to be ok. I can’t stand for anything to be in my ears. When I was a kid they got stopped up and I ran a fever of about 105. I have always used Q-tips to keep them clean. Once a doctor told me I kept them too clean!! Can you imagine!!
