re: rough two weeks.

HI! I have had a rough two weeks! First off, my son received his second bout of head lice through school on October 17th, so I started that day with the NIX. Then on October 22nd, another full head of lice, another treatment with Nix.

I took a breather and went to a fantastic quilt show in Saskatoon with the girls with our chartered bus. Bought a few patterns and a few books, and had a great visit with the girls. I found two loonies and I spent it on books. NO driving for me, and no worries. very tiring though. you guessed it! the start of the flu or something. But I survived. Laid on the couch on Sunday before going to work. We are so busy on Sundays, it is unbelievable!

Then on Tuesday, I had the school nutrition expert check him, and more bugs. MOre bugs. So last treatment with NIX. I told the pharmacist that I couldn't do NIX anymore. So I got the tea tree oil shampoo with the oil drops. Anyway, having done the NIX that day, I went to my meeting and came home and less than 12 hours, more bugs. I am losing it!

My dh is sick with something and coughing his brains out. Max is also coughing because of his dad spreading germs around. Went to the doctor's this morning and got amoxicillin and they are getting better slowly.

Went trick or treating with Max to my friend's house and she checked him. She is an expert and found only two live bugs, and those two would have created 64 in the head by Friday if not more. she is soooo good at this! Pizza or popcorn and a movie at her place next Saturday evening and a check-up for Max. I may even have her check me! I know I am clean, but you never know...ick!

So....that is all that is new here. The mind is gone, and the rest of me is holding on...I think. take care, and drink your water...hugs to all....

re: good day at work!

Hi! My favourite boss accidentally made a delicious caesar salad wrap and gave it to me for lunch. *melt*! It was sooo good! It was so relaxing at work now that I don't have to do a salad bar and buffet. I made a few trays and put the bread away, and took the racks out.

I am starting the quilts that I have cut out a few weeks ago. "bright hopes" is the name of the quilt with partial seam construction. I couldn't sleep so I got up at 5:00 am and made the kids' lunches, and did some housework and folded the wash, and then did more sewing on the blocks. It is so much fun and fast to do! I have two more kits cut out so I will have six quilts when I am done.

Then I phoned my aunt who I gave six quilts to this summer (she gave me money-always has) and I told her when she gives the quilts to babies to take pictures of the quilts and the recipients as I had no time this summer to take pictures of them with my aunt. It was so crazy at the farm for the final time there!

I phoned my dad too and we discussed investments. Nothing is paying big interest right now, but I am hoping to invest and buy some shares in a fast food chain which is quite successful. That may pay off! He is going to watch at his end and I have to check at my end.

I hope to get back to the baby sweaters. I am so busy! I am busily watching "Deal or No Deal" and knitting dishcloths. I always have a load in the wash when I am downstairs. I am watching tv downstairs now because Des bought a 42" tv and is playing PS3 on it. oh joy...

Tomorrow I work again, and another exciting day with my favourite boss. Believes in lots of breaks :)

be good and drink your water....Gail

re: another day at the hotel....

Hi! I deleted todays entry so I will try this again.

I worked today and am off till Sunday. So, I worked four days straight! Whew! Makes for a nice payday or whatever.

It is snowing so I am glad that we repaired the roof on our Melfort building. Two suites upstairs and a store front downstairs which eventually will be a knit and stitch cafe. Have to win the lottery first...would make things easier...

I am not working on the baby sweater for the charity lately. I am busily knitting dishcloths and I should be doing my homework. I am so behind in my homework, the housework, dishes and wash respectively.

I haven't been to the gym lately so I am going this Sunday which will be good for me. I miss the crowd!

Anyway, till we meet again....porchlight

re: October already?

Hi! It is October already, and Fall is here! I enjoy the rain and the cold drizzle as I am from the West Coast. I am still knitting the baby sweaters and dish cloths. I have been so much lately that I have hardly enough time to keep the wash and the laundry under control.

Went to Saskatoon yesterday for the annual Lions Flea Market. It was quite big this time! Went to Westgate Books, and to Value Village. Went to Great Buffet of China for supper which went up in price again! It is always packed in there, and it was only 3:00 pm. It was tiring but fun, as usual. Made a dishcloth in the car while Des drove. I drove home though.

Hopefully, things will settle down at work, but I don't mind the extra cash to spend on important things (fabric and wool) LOL....

All the best to all of you! Gail
