Walked 40 minutes this morning.  Slowly.  But still walked for the first time since Friday.  We took a little detour and met some nice doggies, all of whom were very happy to see us.  I'm feeling a little shaky now, but not bad

There is a dead mouse in the kitchen and we can't locate it

I smell your pain! That is a regular occurrence in my house, when critters steal into the attic to escape the cold. Sometimes they die in inaccessible or unreachable places, and the wait for mummification begins! :\

Thanks for saying so. I felt kinda gross writing that, but there really is nothing to be done. We looked everywhere. It's clearly in some inaccessible place. Now all we can do is wait.

And not that I spend a whole lot of time in the kitchen, but I'll be spending even less for the next few days.

Last fall something fairly large popped its clogs in my bedroom wall; the smell was coming mostly from the electrical outlets. Since the only way to find it was to have at the wall with a Sawzall and risk destroying hull integrity, I abandoned ship until the gas attack was over. Taping over the outlets didn't help much.

Yeah. I feel your pain. That used to happen in the house in PA. Here at least we can leave the windows and doors wide open and let the breeze blow through.

Ugh dead mousies suck.

Yay walking! And yay writing!

Hang in there! It'll even out soon - Holiday shopping season is coming!

No one buys patterns as gifts. December is usually one of our worst months. That's why one year one of our investors gave us that Caribbean cruise -- so we could go away for Christmas and not worry because we sure as hell had no orders to fill. We typically kinda hold our breath and pray for January.

Something rotten happened to our sales this year. I haven't been able to work it out because the traffic to our website went up over the same period. But we've been struggling against really rotten sales since the Spring.
