Well, my silly cheek is still definitely pink, but it's not the angry red that it was. I still itch on my face, head, neck and shoulders, all areas that are normally exposed when outside in a v-neck shirt, but not as badly as it did. To keep from scratching, I put ice on it which calms the itching. Wonder what did it? Hmmmmm. Of course, when you ( Read more... )

I went to work yesterday but came home an hour later. I knew when I went to work that my left cheek was really red and itchy although it felt like it had fever inside it. (It didn't, it just felt that way, I think.) This morning my right cheek is also getting red and my entire head and upper torso itch. I put hydracortisone(?) cream on my cheek ( Read more... )

I got up yesterday with energy enough to get some stuff done, the first time I've done that in a while. I changed the sheets on my bed, as soon as I got up (no easy feat with cats wanting to 'rassle under the swooshing sheet), took another sheet and wrapped it around the cushions of my love seat UNDER the quilted cover.

It sure doesn't seem like Easter but HAPPY EASTER everyone! Maybe it's because everything burst out in bloom weeks ago or maybe it's because for the first year since I've lived here my bed of Irises have absolutely no blooms for Easter. They've always been in full bloom for Easter every year before this. I've had some promising buds for the last ( Read more... )

I wanted to get some plant stakes you can write on and stick in the ground. Not seeing them anywhere I finally asked a guy who was watering the ( Read more... )

YAY! Last work day before a 3-day weekend. One big bid done, another seems to finally be coming together nicely, one more to go and it will be up in the air for only about another week. Of course, there are soon more of them to do but for now, there is light at the end of the tunnel. (Ta Dah, Cliche Mom! Yeah, Caren, he got to me too. ;^)) I ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a fairly decent day at work. Everyone is still crawling all over us by email and phone because they're "work isn't processed yet and they don't want to lose the money!" Well, if they'd stay off our phones and our emails, we'd have a whole lot more time to get more done! They don't get that though. Every year we go through this, " ( Read more... )

My Peeps are gone *snif*. They were so valiant! Their mothers should be very proud of them! Ah, but Easter and then half-price peeps are coming! I have no shame when it comes to Peeps! I wonder...is there a 'Peeps Anonymous,' with a twelve-step program and affiliated support groups ( Read more... )
