Thank Goodness

We have internet again!!  A sigh of relief is felt all around.  It is slow.  So very slow - a lot like dial up, but once it loads, it is good to go. 

I am sicker than a dog still - today I feel like I took a step back.  I am really dragging.  I am at the point in the cold where my nose is completely clogged while I am sitting, but starts to clear when I am walking around.  Only, I feel like crap while walking around and I get to where I have to sit down or I feel like I will pass out, then the stuffiness comes back.  Frustrating, but this too shall pass.

I hit the ground running with work - I have 6 quilts and a pillow to get done before Christmas - plus another quilt or two coming in for sure.  So far, only one person has minded the drive.  I am not giving in to meet people though - they can come to me or not.  There is always someone else who will, so I am not going to drive all over meeting people.

Even though me and the kids are sick and life has stopped, even though boxes are still unpacked, even though we are a mess, I love having a home again.  One where I can relax while feeling this crappy, and so can the kids.  We have an uphill battle to go, but it is just a small battle.  The war has been won.

I will leave you with this funny.

Yesterday, the Tanks Alot company came and cleaned out this portable toilet.  It has been here, with no workers on site for 3 weeks.  I thought, as the truck pulled away, " Well, there is nothing like chopping vegetables while looking at the crapper!"
