I loved this as Swedish cooking almost always has cinnamon involved. My youngest daughter turned 25 today and I called her to wish her Happy Birthday. She commented that my cold seemed to be hanging on much worse than hers. Gee I wonder why? Not due to a compromised immune system, or mom or stress, do you think? No it must be the cinnamon.I just tried to get through yesterday the best I could. Mom's memory is so bad and her new thing is to cling to me and ask questions, none of which go together or make sense. I am really trying hard to be patient. But the constant interruptions to my train of thought are hard.
I made a large stew in the crock pot and did some sewing yesterday before I went to the studio. But I did not get done what I wanted. I tried to get some things done last night late after I got mom to bed. I will try and finish those things this morning. I am due at the studio at 4 p.m. for a couple of hours.
I shattered the cookie paddle attachment to my Bosch mixer and I have been waiting for the part to come in, and it had arrived last night. So about 11:00 ( mom was in bed) I whipped up 2 batches of cookie dough that are in the fridge. Mom does not know so she cannot nag me about them. I am getting sneaky.
I have fed mom and I am going to get into the shop and get things done and then I have to take her to the store for eye drops and personal things. Several things came in from Amazon yesterday to help me complete Christmas projects. Just wish I had more time to work on things.
I actually de-stress when I work on sewing and projects. Really any kind of work will calm me down as long as I don't feel pressured to hurry.
I need to get to work!
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

When I sewed morning, or noon, or night, people said to me, "Doesn't that stress you and wear you out?" "Absolutely not, sewing relaxes me." People found this hard to believe. a person cannot sew well and stress over things. I got lost in sewing and creating.
ReplyDeletemy immune system is not compromised, I don't think, but I am on and off trying to get well and then sick. I hope you get better soon.
You need to celebrate that you made it through Monday--I suggest a 15 minute break of just doing whatever you want, be it sewing, reading, a cup of tea or dancing wildly to inappropriate music in the kitchen (I usually dance to ZZ Top or Pistol Annies--I may look silly but it's wonderfully refreshing).
ReplyDeleteI love ZZ Top.
ReplyDeleteI will send College Boy to you....he looks like one of the ZZ Top fellas and he can play the bass. I don't think he has any sunglasses tho.
