So much to tell.
That swine flu was a bitch, let me tell you. I finally got back to the Dr. and went on a ten-day regimen of steroids and an antibiotic. I also had a chest x-ray which was negative. And I coughed and coughed and coughed and coughed and coughed. I’m actually still coughing, but less every day.
My son DID come to visit. He was here in PA for about 72 hours and he and the baby and his “significant other” actually visited at our home for three hours – two on Tuesday night and one on Thursday night, but I am not going to whine and complain, because, hey, at least I got to see them.
My granddaughter is what my Nana used to call a Pip. At two years old, she has already developed a very strong personality and she was a joy to be around. She made me laugh out loud.
I only have to work on Monday and Tuesday this week!!!! I took a vacation day on Wednesday and we are “given” off on Thursday and Friday. On Wednesday, I’m looking forward to taking my Mom and Dad to the Farmers’ Market for our annual trip to pick up the “fresh-killed turkey” - ( it just breaks me up when my Mom says that) and all of the other necessary ingredients for Thanksgiving. I just love Thanksgiving – it’s a holiday without the anxiety. No shopping or wrapping or finding a seat in church or lines. Just food and parades and family.
Hey, did you guys realize that Christmas is coming…soon! I was too sick to even think about it and then I wandered into Starbucks and hello….is that the red cup I see?!! My sister and I took my Mom to the local high school Christmas Bazaar on Saturday and it was fun to see all the holiday decorations and handicrafts. I’m planning to put up the tree on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
On Saturday night, Hub and I went to Joanne Fabrics and I picked up a couple of Christmas balls and some festive Christmas fabric for the back wall of my cubicle. I have to decorate that wall for each season – I can’t just stare at those grey walls. One yard of fabric covers enough wall to help me feel like I’m not in prison. I also picked up some fabric to make curtains for my upstairs bathroom. My bathroom is decorated in yellows and oranges and browns so of course, I had to get the fabric with the autumn leaves on it – and yes, I’ll keep those curtains up until the summer because you know I’m all about the autumn.
I still haven’t had my favorite sites transferred from my old computer to this one yet. I feel terrible that I’ve lost touch with so many of my blog friends. I promise to comment on each and every one of you once I get my act together!
I did discover something about my Roomba today, It’s great to set her off in a room and let her vacuum until her battery dies, but you really can’t compare her to my vacuum with the HEPA filter. I couldn’t believe the amount of dust that was building up around my baseboards and windowsills – and let me tell ya, I don’t vacuum that much, so it was a huge difference!
Well, I’m going to watch the Eagles vs. Bears game. Lat week I took the cough meds right before the game started and woke four hours later to discover the Eagles had lost. I must stay awake tonight because without my constant surveillance, they will choke.
