Okay, in truth, I’m still recovering, but I am currently headache-less for the first day in a week. I hope to keep it that way, but won’t hold my breath. \ud83d\ude09 I’m staying home from work again today. I figure I have the vacation time to burn and there’s no point in going back until I’m ready. I need a little bit of a rest before I have a mental break-down.<\/p>\n
So, I didn’t get much stitching done while I was away. I’m not sure why I was thinking that I’d be able to take a project with me to work on during the viewings, but… anyway, I knocked out a few colors on my Chatelaine Tiny Rose Mandala Garden. I didn’t bring the model with me because I didn’t want to run the risk of screwing anything up. It was cloudy and dark on the ride up, so I was unable to stitch in the car. On the way back, I was able to stitch for a little while before the light started fading away on me. That’s the bummer of this time of year – it gets dark so early!<\/p>\n
We had miserably cold weather in my hometown while we were visiting. It started snowing about 20 minutes before we pulled into my parents’ driveway. It snowed all night, then through a good portion of Thanksgiving and it stuck around, so we had a white Thanksgiving, which was odd. Thanksgiving night saw temperatures around 10 degrees Fahrenheit, down into the negative numbers with wind chill. I’m talking COLD, people! Pap’s viewing times were on Friday and the funeral home wasn’t warm enough, so I think the chill messed up my shoulders, causing yet more headaches. Saturday was the service and burial and it was still very cold, with a bit of a chilly breeze on top of it. When we left on Sunday, of course, it started to warm up into the 40’s. So, needless to say, I developed a cold and now so has Terry. Surprised? \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n
I have not managed to catch up with everyone’s blogs, so be patient with me. I’m trying to be aware of the amount of time spent on the computer right now, since a lot of the headaches seem to be related to eye fatigue. That means limited stitching time, too. I hope to be back to normal soon, though! Thanks to all of you for your loving thoughts and comments. I appreciate each and every one of them and am thankful to know each and every one of you! *hug*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
