A bit of a chill in the air

Standard

So long to the balmy 70s! It is suppose to dip in the 30s tonight! I covered up most of my plants with an old shower curtain and brought in the tomatoes and coleus.

I haven’t been sleeping well, lots of bathroom trips. I used the heating pad and Bri got me some cranberry juice. I don’t have pain, so I’m thinking I may have injured myself outside lifting something, using the hoe or leaning over too much. I am seeing the word ‘prolapse’ a little too often when looking on boards. The old adage ‘it’s always something’ seems to apply to me all the time. I had a little afternoon snooze with the cat today. I hardly ever do that. Hopefully I will work that problem out, but I will say I was grumpy for a few days. I did start a gift to get me out of my cross stitch pit, but I cut the fabric just big enough’. Don’t cut fabric when you are tired.

I just proof read about 6-7 pages of Sean’s research paper on climate. It took me 2 hours today and 2 hours for the first 7-8 pages. He will be home next Wednesday and needs to get a job or his internship settled. He was turned down for the Delaware one as the lady thought a reference from high school wasn’t appropriate for a college student. I did question Sean about that too. Listen to your mama!

I see that Emily from The Floss Box received the postcard that I made for her (sent to Sweden), so I’ll share it here (as she did on her blog-thanks!):

and here’s an old one I found of Longwood Gardens from the internet

These appear to be the Italian Water Gardens that I didn’t photograph the other day.

Hoping for a warmer and heat pad-less day tomorrow!

  1. Hi Dianne! Sorry to be a few days behind in blog-commenting (busy, with all the kids home). I’m glad that your mom got to and from her MRI okay. And it sounds like maybe things are smoothing out a bit with your brother number 2?? I hope so! Your ATC cards are gorgeous, as always, especially the one with butterflies. 😀

  2. Wow, Dianne, lots going on with you and your family lately! Hope you start to feel better real soon and that the cold snap moves along quickly. I’ve been able to do a little yard clean up this week, but am hoping that next week will bring us a little more warmth.

  3. iloved mousetrap! that was a fun game and i love that you kept your doll. i had a swee little pink bear that had a music box inside and i would wind it up at night and go to sleep with it. i didn’t keep it or my mom didn’t. thanks for sharing and i hope you had a great may day!
