I agree with
Twins about the short dark days. We noticed last evening at 5:00 or before it was dusk and starting to get dark. Neither of us like that.
First big thing I did was plow through my desk debris and get that all cleared up. I am dealing with (among other things) all the papers I brought home from DH's last hospital stay. I am looking for the card they gave us to show that he has a stent which will alert the airport security personnel.
As if we ever travel by plane. But I can't understand what I did with that...and that made me think that I don't know if we received one for his hip replacement. He has a lot of metal in his body.
Busy Sunday... and not productive. I tried to rearrange the furniture in the family room and we tried everything and nothing seems to work. I am discouraged. I have it set up on way to see if we'll get used to it but when I first went out there this morning I didn't like the way it looked.
Lucylee, about your album...I'd go to Michaels and look where their scrapbook supplies are. They have some very nice albums of different sizes. If you picked a nice album of the same size as before, and get enough posts with extensions to make thick enough, you could just put the pages into the new album. I got a very nice album with posts and extensions one year for Christmas and took all the 5x7, 6x8, 8x10 pictures of the grandkids growing up out of their frames and put them in this album. Nice to look through. Anyway, even though a nice album wouldn't be cheap, it'd be less than paying someone to redo it all.
Oh, and you have time for a project like this...I know you do!
Kathryn, chicken pox is contagious until the scabs are scabbed over and not open or oozy any more, and by then the fever should be gone. It is the same virus so I'd think it would be the same for Shingles. Actually, I don't know how you're ever going to get better with as busy as you stay. Sometimes you can't fight an illness. We can't bully our bodies to get well. It needs lots of rest and water and good nutrition. In the long run, that's the faster way to get better. JMO.
Ok, gotta get busy here, lots to do.
