Oh my, I think I was not meant to have that much down time. Although it was wonderful, this past Tuesday was the start of a cold for me. I honestly have not been sick in quite a while when it comes to cold or flu. I have been very lucky. I don't like being sick. But who does?
It all started with Nicole the week before, and then George got it and he was even out of work this week for two days. That NEVER happens. The man never misses work. He was down and OUT! Then it was my turn. Now I'm afraid I gave it to Linda. Today is the first day I'm feeling somewhat human. Of course at night I always get achy again. I'm hoping I've seen the last of that!
So again, I missed the hook in. I couldn't drive a car even if I wanted to that day. I was on the couch from morning till night. But I heard it was a great turnout again. Hmmm, I'm thinking maybe there is a pattern there. I'm not there and everyone shows up! Now watch, I'll go next week and no one will show up lol. I'm so happy it was a great day for them. Wish I could have been there to get pictures to share with you.
Creativity has been the last thing on my mind lately. Actually haven't even thought about it. Started to read some blogs this morning and I'm amazed at how much everyone is getting accomplished. I'm hoping the feeling will come back soon and I can pick up a hook or needle.
Today will be a day of disinfecting for sure and then cleaning up some. I haven't done anything in days. I did have to venture out to the grocery store yesterday since we were plum dry out of some groceries. As soon as I stepped out into the cold air, I started to cough. That wasn't fun. But I made it there, and back and on the couch I went. It's snowing out now. Supposed to get 1-3 inches they are saying. Ugh! I'm so sick of this snow already. My friend Joan said she saw 2, count them, 2 dead skunks on the road, and SHE says that means an early Spring!!! I'm counting on that Joan :). Now, if someone would just shoot the groundhog, it won't see it's shadow and we WILL have an early Spring. I haven't quite figured that one out yet. All those camera's, LIGHT's, etc, pointed at this hole on the ground. You don't THINK that there is going to be a shadow?? LOL. Ok, I'm still sick, bare with me.... I really just want Spring.... now!
Well, I've sat my limit here at the computer. Time to get off, have a bite of something to eat for breakfast and then rest some before getting started on something around here. I certainly hope all of you are staying healthy. Hopefully my next post will have something creative to share with you.....
Enjoy your weekend friends ~~

Loving my down time ~~
Hello everyone ~~ I have no pictures to show you today. My daughter borrowed my camera and I haven't seen it since. I did have a few pictures on there from the hook in on Thursday, but I guess they will have to wait.
The hook in sounded like it was such a success on Thursday. Lots of people showed up despite the threat of snow. Even a couple new hookers.. I'm sure Linda was very busy :). I left around 3:30. I felt like I was playing hooky lol. I did have a few things to do on the way home and then even stopped for a couple slices of pizza for dinner (decided to treat myself). I walked in and told them not to even heat them up. By the time I got home, I'm sure they would have been cold anyway. So I took my time and reheated them when I was ready.
George had left Thursday morning very early to meet up with a couple of other employees to head to Virginia for business. He was spending the night and wouldn't be home till Friday evening around dinner time. You would think, WOW no husband, daughter is working, so why leave the hook in? Well, the threat of the weather was one reason, I won't lie there. I don't like it when it snows. First flurry and I'm back at home. But another was, I just wanted the down time. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted it. Yes, I could have had the down time at the hook in but.... I just wanted a quiet evening alone.... and I'm so happy I did. I was being selfish... There are just some times where I love a house with no noise. No tv, no music, nothing. The silence is soooo wonderful. It lets me think.... Later on in the evening, I did turn on the tv and waited for Nicole to get home from work. I think I was in bed about an hour after she walked in.
Friday was wonderful too. I enjoyed the bed to myself, and I'm sure my husband enjoyed the KING size bed he said he had on his trip. We just have a queen. The phone rang after 5:00 a.m. to say that there was a 2 hour delay. I told Nicole and then I went back to sleep. Woke up when my body told me too.
I finished working on a swap gift. The rest of the day was spent watching Lifetime movies and putzing around the house. George got home earlier than he thought so that was nice.. around 4:30. I made some dinner and then relaxed the rest of the evening.
Today I finished packing the envelope for the swap and that will go out on Monday. Also drew up a little chick to hook up for a Basket Bingo that the Senior High Band does each year. This will be my last year donating a piece for them. It's not due until April, so I'm ahead of the game :).
It has been a really long day, as if the clock stood still for a while. One of those days that seemed to last forever. And here I'm thinking tomorrow is Monday. But I have one more day off !! Will go to church in the morning and then hopefully get back to hooking some more when I get home. I told my husband I wasn't going out at all this week. But then I forgot about church. The series that the Pastor is preaching about right now is sooooo good, I don't want to miss it. I'll be right back home after that.
Will be looking forward to getting back to the shop on Monday after such a nice long weekend.
Nothing special in this post tonight. Just felt like typing. Hoping you are all enjoying your weekend. Sure has been bitter, so stay warm!!
