Tuesday, Is it August?

 Yes, it is August, I guess I knew that, but it really hasn't registered, and we are 1/3 the way through. I just went and looked at my July goals and realized I failed on many.  One of them was to go visit a dear friend who was put in a care center.  I would always bring her a Diet coke and we would solve the problems of the world, or just have a nice bitch session. Well, I didn't get there, and she passed a few days ago.  I feel terrible. If only I could see her one more time. I don't even fell like I can go to her service, with this cough.  I don't know when it will rear its ugly head.

I started this cold July 27th, and even though I have tried to keep up, I really haven't.  As I became sicker and sicker, time just went by. We have only been out once on the Kayaks, and summer is passing.  I can't even think of going out right now as I am too weak.  I have made no goals for August, as I am just hoping to make it through at this point.  

I think goals are important.  Right now, my goal is to get through the day.  I had a really bad coughing attack last night at 3 a.m. Woke the whole house, even the deaf husband.  I had to take codeine to get it to quit. I had not had a bad attack all yesterday, so I was surprised that I was woke up by one.

I did get that bride dress and grooms suit done yesterday, but I also took a nap. I did get the eggrolls made.  They are not hard, just so much grating and chopping.  When I make them, I always make 20 and I think how can we eat 20 eggrolls? I will freeze some, but then Lil sis asks for some, and I took her 6 and Signe' dropped over and took some to her and Nate and after we ate, we were left with 3. SO, mom and Hubs just had those for lunch.

I have that left over pork roast shredded and I will make a batch of coleslaw to go with it.  Oh yippee, more shredding and grating.  Is everything about cooking shredding and chopping and grating?  I swear it is.  I know when I was teaching Irish dance, I always told my students, "If you don't like hopping constantly, don't take Irish dance."  So, I guess if you don't like chopping, grating, and shredding, don't cook? Something like that?

Today I have 13 pairs of pants to hem, and a bridesmaid dress and another wedding dress and I hope to get to another wedding dress and a set of bridesmaid dresses.  I am behind for the month on wedding dresses. But I will do what I can a nap again if I get too tired. Realize that I can hem a pair of pants (if it is just a rolled hem) in less than 5 minutes, so it is really an easy job. I just have to stay at it!

Okay I am off, to slowly work on something.  So excited.... I think.

Oh by the way gas is down to $3.92 here!!!!!!! Thankful, so $1.32 a gallon less than a month ago.

What are you doing today?  I need to live vicariously through others.

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
