Right, there’s never a good day to be sick, but today was definitely the lesser of possible evils. I had nothing scheduled that required me to be in the office, so when I woke up with a cough and vague nausea from post-nasal drip apparently going down my throat all night, Terry decided to let me sleep in. Turns out he was feeling about as bad as I was. This time of year is awful, with people coming into work with all sorts of junk. I really wish more people would stay home when they don’t feel well. I have one co-worker who is only in one day a week, but has been sick for almost a month now and she just comes in and hacks and hacks and hacks. It’s the most awful-sounding cough, too, like she’s going to hack up a lung. Anyway, just a pet peeve of mine, but not everyone has the luxury of being able to work from home (though most of my coworkers have this option).<\/p>\n
So, given all of the variables – it’s a yucky day out, there’s a major storm on the way, I didn’t have any meetings scheduled and I was able to work from home. I have bread baking in the bread machine, some soup ready to be made for dinner, I’ve had a lovely mail day (more in a minute) and was lucky enough to get everything that was jammed into the mailbox out after it had only been in there a couple of hours. Plus, I’ve gotten a lot of good work done today, which is nice. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
And now to my mail today. I received my SBEBB garden exchange package from Tammy<\/a>! She sent me a beautiful stitched and finished limited edition Blue Carnations needleroll from Victoria Sampler. It now has a place of honor in my needleroll basket (it’s a little lonely, with only one other gifted needleroll in there so far :lol:). She also sent me such wonderful goodies; I’ve been thoroughly spoiled! She must have looked through my wishlist to figure out what to put into the package, because she included a skein of WDW Basil that I needed, along with a Beyond Cross Stitch kit from Victoria Sampler that I was looking to acquire. Along with that, she also included some lovely garden-themed writing papers, butterfly stickers and card embellishments, plus a pretty needlecard. She even included a handmade card with a beautifully calligraphied envelope. What a treat! Thank you VERY MUCH, Tammy<\/a>!<\/p>\n
