Wednesday, Getting better!


 Okay, I think the old blues are lifting and may they stay away a long, long time!!!!

I am just setting a timer for 15-minute intervals and doing something.  Anything, just do something. 

I really was able to get almost all my sewing done yesterday, still have a couple of pairs of pants to do and will get to them right after this post. 

Late yesterday afternoon Sissie called me to come down and play with Dan.  She had hurt her back and was going to bed.  HE was preparing for a colonoscopy today. Don't I just want to be around that?  No not really, but we started a new puzzle and made so many crude jokes.

Sissie just went to pick him up from the procedure, many crude jokes to follow.

I am almost done with my list I made TWO WEEKS ago.  Yes, I found it, (the list I mean). I only have to mop the floors and I am done!!!! The mop is out and sitting in the kitchen ready for me to get busy. Then I can make a new list.

Sissie's washer is broken so she is bringing things up here.  In order to bring in a new washer they have to remove a window in her basement.  What a pain.  I think she should wait until warmer weather.

I am taking care of the mini farm down the road for the next 5 days.  Chickens, ducks, dogs, pigs, cats, a parrot, (the parrot loves me) and don't forget the tortoise. I go down twice a day once to feed and twice to love on the dogs, so they don't go nutty.

After I get the floors mopped and the pants hemmed, I am going to start the hand work on a wedding dress. 

The only thing left to do for Christmas besides a ton of baking is get the Christmas tree up.  I think Signe', Nate and the kids are coming to help me with that tomorrow night.

Have you got all your Christmas up yet?

I am so happy my blues are lifting; you have no idea. It is so hard to climb out once you get into that hole. At least it is for me.  Just too much death around the holidays.  Not that death is good at other times of the year. It is the concentration of emotions that gets me.

Ring out wild bells!!!!

God is good

  1. Glad you are feeling a little more chipper. I have all decor out that is going out. I still have to wrap and bake.
    Have a good evening.

  2. I am glad that you are getting over your bout of the blues. I do the same 15 minutes of one task and then move on to either rest my back or change to another task. Amazing how much one can accomplish in 15 minutes.
    Still have a bit of decorating which will be finished at some point this week I hope.

    God bless.

  3. Sweet Friend, We do need to be neighbors. I would come and pull you out of those blues. I know how they are and I wouldn't wish them on anyone. And I would LOVE for you to bake some cookies for me! Glad you are feeling brighter. Hugs!

  4. Very happy you are pulling yourself out of the blues. That must be so challenging on top of feeling pressured to prep for the holidays. Sending good thoughts for lots of uplifting moments for you this week! - Hawaii Planner

  6. I hear you on death around the holidays. Mom died Dec 23, 2007. It still hurts even though I have become "used to it". Hugs to you!

  7. I'm doing minimal decorations since being gone and needing to catch up a d because of pets. It's ok though. It's still pretty.
