Not Today

Let's just be honest.  Some mornings, you wake up and you just know that not much is going to be accomplished that day.  For me - today was one of those days.

I have been fighting off a head cold (sinus pressure, congestion,  headache) for several days.  Today, I think it's winning.  I awoke with the new additions to my symptoms of ear stuffiness,  sore throat and cough.

I need to drag myself to the grocery store this morning so that my family can eat for the next few days.  (And I plan to see if I can find anything else that might help relieve some of my symptoms.)  After that, you will be able to find me on the couch with fluids, cough drops,  and my crochet.

I'm not even a little embarrassed to tell you that my guys will probably be eating a grocery store rotisserie chicken,  salad from a clam shell container and a frozen vegetable of some variety for dinner.  Because this gal isn't cooking tonight.

And that's just the way it is going to be today.  Maybe (hopefully) tomorrow will be different.

As October Draws to a Close

Tomorrow is the last day of October!!  Which means two big things to me:  1) my birthday is in 2 days (yay me!!)  And 2) this year is flying by much too quickly!

I feel as if lost a big chunk of October after spending most of the past two weeks being sick.  Which was no fun.  At.  All.  I still have a little bit of a cough and my voice is still raspy.  But I am finally starting to feel like myself again.  So, that's good.

I have learned a couple of things this month...

• After consuming extravagant amounts of tea with honey over the past two weeks I have found that Chai green tea is delicious.  Serious yumminess!  My old standby - Constant Comment - has some hard competition now.
  

• It is most difficult to heal and get better when you have a cough which keeps you awaken all night.  And being tired does nothing to help your mood or your attitude when you're already not feeling well.

• Silk Almond "egg" Nog in Pumpkin Spice flavor makes coffee even better!  A scrumptious latte, right here at home.
  

October was also a busy month.  We celebrated the Man of the House's birthday.  The male offspring played guitar at an anniversary celebration for the church where is guitar instructor is a pastor, and he had a county wide orchestra concert for violin.  The Man of the House finished up the fall softball season.  And business was booming for my Etsy shop (praise the Lord!)


When all is said and done, it was a good month.  I'm looking forward to seeing what November  has in store for us!
