Monday 16 November

Ever have one of those days when you didn’t have a real reason to get out of bed ? When all you really, REALLY wanted to do is sleep in ?? Well I did, today.

I know, I know you probably do too however they are most likely limited & restricted to weekends only or maybe for a week or two on holiday.

Here now it can be ANY day. An absolute dreary day. Cold, dank, dark & ugly. It rained last night long into the night. I had to get up & completely close some windows in teh bedroom I had cracked for fresh air. I had positioned the Siberian comforter before turning in so it was in place, handy and most welcome.

The beverage this morning is milk (1%), nuked with ¼ spoon local honey.

One reason for sluggishness today is fighting off the infection exposed to in Houston.

I awoke with sinus blockage on one side & assumed the worst. Once I got up & moving, sinuses opened up & things returned to more normal.

But it isn’t over yet and I am not out of danger. The plan today is rest up, sleep & nap when necessary & if able. No ‘A’ priorities to cancel so all ‘B’ s moved to the afternoon later.

Last entry I figured out late a work around for the file extension issue plaguing image insertion. I FINALLY got a downloaded image to save & then upload. Now I have to repeat it next time.

Speaking of images, todays is a Jewelry by Bill.

Hardly complicated, stringing beads is creative, interesting, challenging & fun obviously. Selecting the size, shape & color of the beads to use is a first step. Material selection also is a consideration. I am preferring right now natural materials like wooden beads, colorful polished stones, earth tones, coral that sort of thing offers plenty of choices & combinations. Putting a cross on it makes it religious. There are all kinds of crosses.

This one was a birthday gift for a client's boss. Not a bad way to impress the boss I am thinking IF you KNOW they like large & clunky as I call it and have a religious leaning.

That’s all for today folks for your correspndent is growing weary of this activity. I have magazines to read up on to stay current, some technical email newsletters and I need to complete some thoughts & commit those thoughts to paper in a letter to Patty.

I am thinking another cup of milk & honey would be good. I over-bought a gallon & the expiration date is approaching. Usually in the winter I buy only a half-gallon of milk as in the summer it is easier to consume the larger volume before it starts to smell & get lumpy.

Thanksgiving is next week I think. Need to put together a plan for that.

There is a craft show at Saint Michael’s coming up in early December. I have some time to get more items done for that one. Not keen today on breathing saw dust. I can use ‘lessons learned’ from the last show.

I have grown extremely weary just documenting what I have to do.

And you know what ?

None of it gets done on this keyboard, on this machine. Time to get after it. Get on with life.

Bill. out.
