Sick and Tired of feeling Sick and Tired!!

-
Last Monday and Tuesday I felt really good. I got out of the house, had some fun with friends and was doing well. Sometime in the night, early Wednesday morning, I woke up gagging, nose running, and coughing. I deemed it a sinus problem, maybe even allergies. NOT!! For the first time in years, I had a head cold. Ok, not a serious thing. Whine, whine!! But not being able to lay down without coughing, and gagging on my own snot is not a good way to be missing sleep. I tried the recliner, and that didn't help. besides, it made my back hurt (read here...old recliner, stuffing shifted and doesn't support my spine like it used to.) I had better luck sitting up in my rocking chair, but I can't sleep well sitting up.
Wednesday night was the same thing. I did however, stop at Walgreens and bought some night time meds which, incidentally tastes just as bad as it did when I was a kid. (One would think that after 70+ years, cough syrup meds could be made to taste like bacon!!)
Thursday was miserable, cough, spit, gag, blow, repeat!! But the blue cough, night time meds did help me sleep. I didn't get dressed all day which never happens around here.
Friday, I felt a bit better, still doing the cough, spit, gag, blow but not quite as often. Again, the meds were helping. I didn't get dressed but I did finally take a shower and put on clean underwear.
Saturday, I woke up, felt fine. Curley and I even went to Hobby Lobby and Joann Fabrics and stopped at McDonalds. All was good. I came home, ran through my choir music for Sunday morning, read a while, crocheted a while and went to bed.
Sometime in the night, I woke up sneezing and my nose running like a faucet that wouldn't shut off. No cough, but a splitting headache. It is now 6:30 PM, and I still feel like shit. I must have sneezed at least 50 times today, big whopping sneezes that make you feel like the Math and science section of your brain is now gone, and I have had to open two new boxes of tissues today. And I am tired. I am physically tired of sneezing and blowing. I am tired of sitting on my ass and not feeling good. I am sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I am not usually a growly, grumpy gus when I am sick. That was my late wife's claim to fame. I usually just go to bed, want to be left alone until I feel better, but this time I am feeling really sorry for myself and am pissy and want my Mom and my blankie! 
Oh well, this too shall pass. Just soon I hope. I have too much going on this coming week to be sick and tired!

Until next time, y'all stay well,
Go! Create something ('cause I don't feel like it!)😰

    Guess I shouldn't have gotten you out of the house. It made you relapse. I sure hope you feel better soon. So far I have been lucky and havne't gotten it. Knock on wood.

Church and State

-
Just this week I read a post on the infamous Facebook that, to sum it up, blamed all the crisis going on in our country, namely the racial uprising, on taking God out of the schools. The ol’ separation of church and state issue that’s been going on for decades.   This whole posting did nothing but make me angry!   It certainly displayed ignorance on the part of the writer! Any educator in a public school, or most of them anyhow, will attest that God is alive and well in our school systems. As an educator I saw Him every day, and even though I’ve been retired for a decade, I know He still is there. He is there in the classroom every minute of every day holding that teacher together as he or she faces a room of children of any age. Some days that classroom feels like a battlefield, but God is there. He is there in the hallways in the smiling faces of students and staff. He is there in the lunchroom as the lunch personnel serve nourishing meals to students that might not get ...

Beneath It All

Note:   This is sort of a guy type post.   I seriously hope none of you gals who read my blog are offended.   If talking about men’s underwear offends you, close out now! Beneath all that we men wear, unless you are a guy who favors going “commando” (no underwear), there is the ongoing dilemma of “briefs or boxers.” Shopping for said undergarments are an ordeal. When I was growing up, there were only two choices.   Either we wore “tightie whities” from J. C. Penney’s; you know the ones that had blue and gold dashes around the waistband.   Or you could choose to wear broadcloth boxers.   These were brightly colored plaids, solids, or the ever popular paisley prints.   They had an extra panel sewn into the seat to accommodate those whose butts were larger.   Mine wasn’t!   So, those panels just got wadded up, and you can just guess where that wad of fabric ended up!   I would always opt for the “tightie whities.” As an adult, I a...

Ever Seen a Burrito Blanket??

Friends of mine are expecting a new granddaughter in the future. I am a firm believer that grandparents are EXTRA special people and should have special things for when the baby comes to visit. (Baby showers never include stuff for Grandma and Grandpa. So I made something special for them. I made a PINK burrito blanket. That is simply a round blanket that I made from fleece, then edged on my sewing machine.  Easy to use, lay babe in the middle, fold up the foot part and then the sides. It's a good swaddler and there are no droopy corners to get caught on stuff or be dragging. BUT, the icing on the cake is the round Mandala afghan  to go with the blanket. It turned out even better than I anticipated. I used a little heavier weight yarn than it called for, and a size bigger hook. I did that because my eyes just aren't good enough to use that fine fingering weight yarn and a small hook. I cut the size of the blanket down so it was only 36" in diameter. If I had gone on to...
