Friday, Head cold, and slow moving...


 I told hubs I was tired of this sort of hanging on cold like crap I had, had the last 4 days in Hawaii, and if it was going to be a cold, I wished it would just break out and get over with.  Well I got my wish after the blog yesterday and now I want the hanging on symptoms back, if you please.

Such a headache with this bugger.  I am really miserable and I do have this company coming tomorrow.  I might be calling daughter to come down tonight and help me clean a little bit as I just am dragging.

 I did get the laundry done and things unpacked and put away very slowly.  I need to put clean sheets on the guest room bed and dust the room thoroughly. 

Let me just add a picture of Sluggy who followed me to Hawaii.

I had carpet cleaners come in this morning and do the high traffic areas in the two bedrooms where the grandkids have spilled things.  But I am replacing the carpets in the spare bedroom and shop after the holiday, so that will help with these old stains reappearing.

I really need to deep clean the bathrooms and kitchen but I just don't feel very good. JUST TOOK SOME Aleve and I am going down for a nap after I make the spare bed up. Maybe that will give me the energy to get some things done.

Nothing like coming home from 8 days in Paradise to a bad cold, and then being overwhelmed. But I will survive.

Hubs is busy with the school district and will continue to be busy through the holidays. He keeps getting called in to fix lights and run interference.  There are now two High school theaters up and running and I knew this would cause problems as only he and one other person know the ropes.  Not enough coverage during the busy season.

 Here is James on a hand made quilt my daughter bought me for Christmas. I will put it in my guest room when I am done redoing it.  I was so surprised! 

She saw me eyeing it, and of course bought it when I ws not looking. I love it.

1. get carpets cleaned

2. vacuum carpets to be cleaned
