I am definitely winging it. I also have a cold coming on, oh drat. Hopefully won't be a bad one. Just that scratchy feeling in the back of your throat and a dull headache above the eyes. Like maybe your sinuses are a bit angry. I will ignore it for as long as I can, like most things that affect my life.
I did a good bit of sewing yesterday and started on that wedding dress that I will work on today. It is a doozy, but I will figure it out. I always do.
Went to Sissies last night for dinner and then stayed a few hours and worked on a jig saw. Then home to practice the piano and embroider for an hour or so. Trying to make myself use more of my time wisely to make a few homemade gifts for Christmas. As in Kim does not need to mindlessly watch Netflix, when she can be doing something while she watches Netflix.
Sissie is making potato soup for dinner so I will go down there and eat and work on the puzzle we started last night. I see a routine starting for these long winter evenings.
I have now had 5 no spend days in a row, and I am trying hard not to go into any stores. I don't need anything. Tomorrow I will pick up a few loss leaders at Albertsons and that will be the extent of my shopping for the week. It will be a very small haul.
I have 4 pairs of pants to hem; I would like to get them done today after I have done what I can on this wedding dress. I have a fitting tomorrow and there will probably be a couple more as I am creating sleeves for a strapless dress. Always a challenge. But I do love a challenge.
I am craving cinnamon rolls, might be tempted to knock out a batch of those later. Anne talked about coffee and cinnamon rolls on her trip, and I can't get that out of my mind. Yum.
I woke out of a sound sleep at 5:15 this morning watched TV for an hour and then back to sleep. I am blaming the time change or coughing not sure which.
Well, I am off to get this wedding dress ready for the first fitting. Hurrah!
What excitement is happening in your neck of the woods? Anything? Anything better than me? Come on almost anything is better than me.
Kim needs to live vicariously through you right now. It is a need not a want.
God is good
Kim
You must have a low immune system. I cannot remember how many years it has been since I have gotten sick. Probably just jinxed myself! Take care.
ReplyDeleteHope you get your projects done. Just staying home and getting yard work done before the cold hits.
Nothing really exciting happening here, but I am enjoying the peace and quiet of getting things done around the house. I always work on something while watching Netflix or Prime.
ReplyDeleteHarvey has a cold and I am beginning to get the sniffles as well. Cold season has arrived. Need to get a few OTC meds to take care of the winter colds next time I go shopping.
You are doing well with the no spending.
God bless.
I am celebrating my first October since 1990 that I have not been ill. It has been more than sniffles. I took many antibiotics and failed class, dropped one. This year I sneezed a bit. I use Hall's Mentholyptus cough to break up the bit of congestion I had. I always slept on the really doozy dresses or alterations. The only thing I have going is a roast in the crock pot and trying to get Tommy to let me cut his hair.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been a canning fool this week. Ground beef, beef roast, chicken, and sweet potatoes. And, turkey. 1.00 per pound. Cannot beat that price, at this moment.
ReplyDeleteLike you, staying busy is the name of th3 game.
Ugh, I’m sorry you’ve getting a cold. Be sure to drink some echinacea tea to try and fight it.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what is going on here other than having fun in the room of horrors and just living life.
