Monday, I have a cold!

 

This is how I feel, and it is only the second day.  I truly believe a cold is three days coming, three days there and three days gone. My head feels like it is stuffed with straw. If you talk to Sissie she will tell you it is stuffed with straw.

Sissie was here this morning to roust me out of bed, as I was sleeping later than usual. She ran through my house like a white tornado and cleaned it up spit spat. I had spent a couple hours cleaning last night or at least picking up after the grandkids.  But Sissie cleaned.  Now she is gone, and I feel like I need to get something done.  Don't know if that is going to happen.

I have had a couple of people send me links to send to Sluggy for her private blog.  So, if you still need to get on the list, you can put your info in comment section, and I will send to her. I am still aghast that this long-time blogging friend of mine has to resort to this, what is wrong with people. I mean really.  Are we not here to support and cheer each other on? Slugs and I have been friends for over 14 years, and she is my rock. Shame on anyone who is mean to her.

I have about 4 piles in the shop and 7 wedding dresses.  Once the piles are done, I will try and get at least 2 easier dresses out this week. But I really feel like doing nothing.  Just resting my swollen head. Right now, it is a scratchy throat and that puffy feeling in the forehead, getting worse by the hour. The funny thing is the grandkids had this about 3 weeks ago, so I don't think this is from them. But I picked it up somewhere. Drat, and double drat!

We finished the puzzle at Kay's yesterday afternoon and boy was it a toughie.  You really had to watch the details as many times pieces would fit perfectly but not be in the right place.  It threw us for a loop more than once. But it was a great way to just enjoy each other and have some entertainment and laughs. We need to find a puzzle exchange, so we are not buying new ones and just exchanging with others.

I am still waiting for a tax form from the State of Idaho so I can start working on taxes.  Fun!  My favorite time of year. When you are widowed, your income goes down and your taxes go up.  Life is often not fair. But it is also wonderful, and I am so blessed to have what I have and to have the skills to make my life better.

I am off to try and convince myself I can do something as I know this cold is only going to get worse before it gets better.  Kind of like cleaning out a pantry.

God is good

Kim

  1. Ugh, colds are second only to waiting for the forms to complete your taxes. I am one of Sluggy's "orphans" and really appreciate you taking the time to forward on my request to be added to her blog list. Many thanks!! lingerlonger8@gmail.com

  2. I still have a badly stuffed nose, but the migraine seems to have gone. Just a tiny sinus headache right now. I hope you feel better very soon.

    God bless.

  5. I asked Sluggy to add me - I sure hope she does. I knew you would end up sick, when you kept a sick kiddo. That shouldn't happen.
    Take care and feel better quickly.

  8. Stop being so naive. Sluggy is a toxic, vindictive troll who constantly leaves inflammatory, nasty, vindictive comments on others' blogs. Now, she's playing the victim, even though she's the one spreading negativity. Classic bully behavior. You're a far better person than she is, which is why you struggle to see just how awful she truly is.

    1. Is this Cindi?

      Delete
    2. Well it is definitely not Cindy in the South. I think you are referring to the Cindi from New York who ran the blog Diary of a Mad Retiree at one time. I really don’t think it is her either bc she was conservative. I also seldom see Sluggy comment on blogs so this comment is very random. She states her opinions on her blog and last I checked, we can have different opinions, free speech and all……I know PP used to get an awful amount of nasty comments on her blog when her house collapsed. It was beyond awful what random Internet trolls say. There are a lot of seriously disturbed folks. Cindy in the South

    3. Oh, really, Cindy—whether you're from the South, East, West, or wherever. Many people are complaining about Slug’s reprehensible behavior; she's completely losing it. Your inability to perceive it does not negate its existence. Do not presume to be an authority on matters that lie beyond your purview. She is callous, odious, and contemptible. Her new, professed devotion to the felon Trump and the GOP serves merely as a pretext to legitimize her relentless and indiscriminate hostility toward others—a means through which she seeks to soothe the wretchedness of her own existence.

  11. Check with your library. Ours has puzzles that you can check out. I hope you're feeling better soon.

    1. Our library does too! Plus a a large assortment of character/specialized cake pans (like Wilton’s) surprising what libraries have. Oh I forgot they also give away vegetable seeds in the spring.

  15. Kim, I hope you feel better soon! Thanks for passing us along to Sluggy. I had a friend in town and completely forgot about asking to be included. I've read yours and Sluggy's blogs for years now and would love to keep up with her. My email is jcorlette@gmail.com. Thanks!

  16. Kim I think I forgot to hit Publish LOL. I just block the crappy ones... I sent Sluggy my info, just check for me please

  17. I will do. I ignore the haters also, but don't get that many I think people are just so jealous of Slugs.

    1. Kim, I don't think jealousy is the reason. But, no one should get nasty comments on their own blog and I choose to ignore ones on mine by deleting. Unfortunately I had to take a whole post down that went south in the comments, including my own line crossing, of which I regret and wish I'd have ignored. It's ok for people to just read a post they don't agree with and move right along- not commenting is perfectly acceptable.

    2. Wow, that horrid woman really seems to be making the rounds and spreading malignancy. I encountered her on Corporate Slave blog and was appalled at her rudeness. She called him a 'jackass' for voicing some political opinion. That was some weeks ago. Imagine what it must be like to live in close proximity to that harridan!!

    3. Family and friends of that Sluggy need to sit her down and ensure she takes her medication. Symptoms of disintegrating brain processing.
