November 1st Already

This is how I feel today. Can you tell that I'm not at my best? Hot and cold, sweats and chills, just can't get comfortable in my skin. I've been running my fingers through my hair with the hot flashes and this is about how it looks now.

Yesterday started off okay, but got more interesting as the day went on. Son called with a request to put money in his account as he used what he had to renew RV registration. It was 11:30 and bank closes at 12:00 on Saturday. I was still in my red flannel nightgown and there was no time to change. I just threw a jacket on over it and rushed to the bank. I made the deposit with 5 minutes to spare. All the way home I prayed the car wouldn't break down nor the police would stop me!

Son Mike and wife Val made dinner for us last night. It was an on and off day with all the coughing, sweats and chills. The window must have wondered what was going on because I kept opening it and closing it, We left it wide open and I felt much better but then I went to bed and hubby stayed up playing Free Cell. I got up this morning to a cool house and yes, the window was still wide open. Hopefully the fresh air killed some of the germs.

Our cat was feeling a bit frisky last night and son kept throwing a small blanket over her. She really tore into it and we were in fits of laughter at her actions. She went at it with her back legs and would stick her head out every so often to watch us and then she would begin again. This morning I put a little cat nip on the kitchen rug in front of the door where she surveys her kingdom and she ate what she wanted and then disappeared. I expect her to come pounce on me any minute from it's effects. LOL, I just turned to look out the window and there she is on her cat bed, fast asleep. I thought that stuff was supposed to make her lively? Maybe it's just slow acting...

The deer were here this morning. Two of them were grazing in my potted plants. The three pots of Mandeville Pinks which I hoped to cut back and put in the garage over the winter seemed to be their favorite. I had just told hubby yesterday that I needed help carrying them out to the garage. Horrors, my plants taking up space in HIS garage. Today I guess we don't have to worry about it.

Yesterday I posted 8 items on Free Cycle and they were gone within two hours. I'm so glad to get rid of things I no longer use and things I bought as gifts but never sent. Mainly because I couldn't fine them when I needed them. A teacher answered my post on craft items and materials for the Children's Programs at the local library. That set me off digging through all my boxes of goodies and I think she is getting more than she bargained for. She also asked me to be a volunteer with the December's craft project so that will be fun. I love working with kids on crafts. I never could figure out what I'd like to be when I grew up so I didn't grow up, just out...

This is about as exciting as watching grass grow so I'll close for now. I hope others are leading a more exciting life today. Enjoy it while you can because winter will soon be here. I know, I know, Killjoy!

Have a happy day.
