Walking on Wednesday ~ Fuzzy Headed Snow Day

It started yesterday, but I didn't want to say anything.

 Throat hurting from the post-nasal drip that started, but I just took some Advil hoping for the best. 

 I hate being sick, mainly because I still have to DO STUFF when I am sick!

 Then this morning, I woke up before 7am (wha?? no school and I am up before 7am??). I felt it in my nose and sinuses. 

 I have a cold. 

 And, I don't have any tissues.

 I have a fuzzy head, and not just from the medicine I took while the coffee was brewing.

 Actually, today may just be the perfect day to take advantage of accomplishing little, and complaining to anyone who will listen.... school is closed, businesses are closed, and everyone is home and kind of bored. 

 Perfect audience for my whining.

 But that isn't how the day played out, of course.

I DID manage to get a nap, but woke up to clean the oven (son cooked....well I never cleaned it after the lasagna...you know what happens when you don't put a pan under the lasagna dish.....). 

 I have one load of laundry left to fold, got the other three done before my nap.

 I have dinner to cook, but at least it will be chicken soup. (leftover rotisserie chicken because as I said I started to not feel good yesterday...so went for the easy dinner)

 I can handle all this. This is actually a nice easy day for me. 

 I HAVE had days when when I felt much worse and had to do much more , so I actually am thankful that I can browse Pinterest, and scroll through my newsfeed, and babble on about my silly cold, and ENJOY my fuzzy head because I DON'T HAVE to do any figures, any stressful analysis, and moving things, or shoveling.

 My only fear is that I may spread this to my family. Two of which are of the male persuasion.

Until then, back to Pinterest. 

 If I am not back in 2 hours, give me 2 more.

 Thank you snow day, and thank you Sudafed.

    Man Flu -- so true! Men are the worst at being sick... Love that toilet paper on the head thing -- I could use that some days when the allergies kick in!
    Hope you feel better soon -- good that you got that laundry and oven cleaning out of the way!

Walking on Wednesday - My Money Tree is Dead! What does that MEAN??

-

It's not the kind of money tree you are thinking.  I wish it was. But it is not. It is technically a Pachira . The name supposedly comes from a story of it's origin.  A poor man prayed for money, and then found this "odd" plant. He took it home as an omen, and made money from selling plants grown from it's seeds. I bought it at a grocery store when we first moved back to the states, in 2004 . We had just moved in to our own house, after being displaced from Hurricane Ivan , and our new place needed some green. This was the biggest plant, for the least amount of money , at the grocery store. It said it was ' foolproof ' , and that is the right plant for me ! I thought the name was an omen too, hoping it would bring good fortune, meaning a little money .  It decorated our living room in New York for almost 6 years ! During that time, about 2 years after I bought it, I tried to root it from clippings just for fun. It worked , and I grew another money

Music Monday! Just Dance

A surprise suggestion, this song was. I asked a friend-who-is-family for some ideas, as I wanted to do a Music Monday this week, but was having trouble picking a song. Just didn't have any that felt right at the time. So this friend, who by the way is someone we (hubby first actually) 'met' online. Communicated for quite a while before actually meeting in person. But you just know when you click with someone and we are going on over 8 years of friendship, I believe, though it feels like we have known each other forever. She has been a wonderful addition to our extremely small circle of friends. She is 'auntie' to my kids, she is who I vent to almost on a daily basis via messages, she is always willing to listen unconditionally. And that, my dear readers, is hard to find these days. She became family. Source So after complaining I was not inspired by any songs, she said she would see what songs came on over dinner with her Mama, and give me some ideas. Her Ma

Raige Creations turns 1 year old next week. To celebrate, Raige is doing her FIRST GIVEAWAY! I can't believe a year has passed, and how far Raige has come. Certainly, the handmade community and its supporters had something to do with Raige not giving up, and Raige's customers are just the best! So to honor all you wonderful people, Raige is happy to give. What to give, you ask? 3 New Toekini's  TOEKINIS OF COURSE Toekinis have, by far, generated the most buzz at Raige Creations. It seems fitting to celebrate with one of them.  Every time I have Toekini's on my brain, I think "Life is good today" and this song from Music Monday  gets stuck in my head.with these lyrics: "I've got my toes in the water, ass in the sand,  not a worry in the world ,  a cold beer in my hand. Life is good today, life is good today." But life is good today, even if it is not yet summer here, and to celebrate - the giveaway will be your CHOICE of TOEKINI.  Any
