      Awww :(. I hope you can find some fun things to do while he's away, and it'll be great to see him again after having missed him. I completely understand though!

    3. Virginia

      Virginia

      Thanks for the encouragement. Things are just so topsy turvy right now. I'd love to get lost in a good book but I've got so much packing to do, the grands are in and out, still trying to find a new place...sigh. I did call my job and told them I just couldn't finsih the last two days. At least that's one less thing to worry about.

      I don't feel it's been more quiet this week than in previous weeks, but I do think it's quieter than maybe a couple of months ago. If you have any ideas how to make this better, feel free to tell us :).

  12. Another trip to the hospital. I wont complain. At least I'm 6 feet above and not six feet under.

      Thanks for the good wishes y'all! I'm still breathing! Tomorrow is the stress test, yippy. Got checked for a blood clot (really fun!) I'm still 6 feet over instead of under so I'm a happy camper :-) and YES, no more trips to the hospital for me!

      I have been wearing my alpaca wool socks and my possum socks. My feet definitely feel autumnal!

    3. Virginia

      Virginia

      That just sounds so cozy....I feel the need to nap!

  17. That feeling you get when you get a great recommendation for a book and no matter where you look, it can't be found. Ugh.

      Oh dear :(, what was the book?

    3. Virginia

      Virginia

      It's called "Loving" by Henry Green. Good news! My library is ordering it for me!!

  18. I've been sidetracked by a big bowl of popcorn.

    1. Chrissy

      Chrissy

      Easily done!

    2. Hayley

      Hayley

      As I scrolled down I read that as 'I've been attacked by a big bowl of popcorn'. I think I need a nap XD

    3. Virginia

      Virginia

      Well, it WAS a big bowl and my arm DID seem to sink in it up to my elbows!! Chrissy, for me, its just something about popcorn. First you think it, then you MAKE it! And i have found the yummiest way to fix it. I use one of those stovetop popper with a handle to twist. I also use coconut oil, a little salt and popcorn salt and no need for butter. It taste just like the theater popcorn!

       

  19. Uncle Sam (the tax man) is a happy man today. Spent hours getting the blasted stuff done, only to owe almost $4k. Loverly.
