Fiberaddict's Fiber Fumblings

Mom's having "tummy troubles".....which makes me all kinds of nervous, but what do you do? She's supposed to call her doc today......:sigh:

We are on a Jane Austen kick at the house - we (including the kids - EVEN Himself, I am so shocked!) watched "Sense and Sensibility" Saturday evening. It was good - the kids even liked it (Yeah for culture! :lol:), and now Sweet Geek is on the hunt for more BBC productions. (We also have "Persuasion".....2 lonely little DVDs. Need more!)

The studio is at the point I can actually *warp* my loom! Need to plan a project.....dishtowels are my go-to, but I'd like to do something else....not sure what, though. Must think on this.....

I found SO many UFOs it's not funny. Fire socks? Silk tank top? Chenille scarf? Sweater for Himself started :gulp: 4 years ago? It's embarrassing.....:sigh:

Need to get the contract work done - IF the doc wants Mom in NOW, I gotta make sure the work is done. Note to self: Download the XL files and QB files, so if I'm off next period I can still get it done (Cyn doesn't do this stuff - it's not hard, just time-consuming, and I set it all up, so I have my routine down. Someone else coming in....it would take 2x as long, because they're not familiar with the systems we use. Not much I can do for that, though...) I can do 'em and email 'em back.......

Self:

You are no longer 18 - heck, you're no longer 28! - so PLEASE stop acting like you are. Just because the feed barrels are almost empty does not mean you need to refill them - remember, *2* bags of grain are your limit. NOT 2 barrels.....and, 5 bags is definately OVER the limit (2 is enough. You can do 2 one day, 2 the next, and so on and so forth. The horses won't starve!)

And, when you ignore the above fact, twist your wrist (stupid!) and then can't sleep because of it, it is NOT appropriate to decide to scrub the bathtub. This will only make the situation worse (and, don't decide to leave the bathtub and scour the kitchen counters.......)

Just take the stupid allergy meds and let them conk you out (since you're allergic to all the popular pain meds - remember?) and get on with stuff.

This public service announcement was brought to you by the letter "S" and the number "2"

Try, in the future, to not injure 2 extremities at the same time. You are allergic to *all* prescription pain meds; neurological drugs don't do the trick, and muscle relaxants seem to work for only 3 days before giving up in disgust.


*sigh* The wrist I could ignore, but the foot I can't. When I get the foot to subside to managable levels, the wrist starts in. I need a stiff drink (or 2 or....), but won't. Prescription #3 fizzled on day 3 (as did Prescription #2.....hmmmm.)

I'm only awake thanks to copious amounts of caffeine. Today should be a fun day......
