~ I DID Something Today!~ :-)

I accomplished something today. .I made some cards

for Christmas and I made a dish cloth.. :-) not much but

well it was more than just playing spider solitare.. I had

Started the dish cloth a while back but never did finish

it, I got half way and stopped.. Id been worrying about

things for Christmas for Theresa, and Lori and Chris,

the lunch girl.. I know they don't expect anything but I

still would like to give them something.. I may make one

of my Christmas pins too.. Depends how I feel..

Ive been nauseated most of today and I really don't know

why.. usually when I am its because my blood pressure

has gotten too high.. I took it and its high but not bad..not

for me anyway.. So it maybe just the start of a bug.. I hope

not, but I spent most of today just relaxing and away from

this computer and watched tv..well listened while I knitted.

I did make some toast for lunch and thats stayed down..

Ive been under a bit of stress with the loss of my friend,

and that may have contributed to my discomfort today.. I

only got up twice last night.. and about 1 am I woke wide

awake and came and checked mail and saw who was up

and around on Yahoo and MSN..of course no one was..I

was the only nut up at that time of night.. :-)

Dawn came by today, she is such a sweetie and so pretty.

She works so hard all week and on the week ends is steady

going.. I had some canned stuff here that I know I wont use,

so I got those out and ready for her to take home.. It helps

them since they are trying to get the garage paid for and now

christmas and with 3 kids, and 3 grands..well.they have many

to buy for.. this time of year is hard on the wallet..thats why I

made every gift before.. and I enjoyed that and I think the ones

I gave them to appreciated that I had taken the time to make

something just for them.. I think it gives a special meaning to

a great time of year..

My sis called today, well I had called her since I had a CRAFT

moment and forgot the decrease part of the dishcloth pattern..

We talked for quite awhile.. If anyone listened to us talk would

really wonder, we talk about her sister and our sister or mine..

her mother , our mother or mine.. nothing like having 3 of them.

She was adopted out too and taken by a family that had a girl

already..Diedre...thats Shirleys sister, mine is Gayle.. Shes

been knitting and getting things done for her huge clan.. she

has 4 living kids and spouses, 17 grands and 3 great grands.

when they have their Christmas eve get togethers its a house

full.. Total Chaos.. but fun.. The last time I was to one was In

2000..I wouldnt even recognize the kids now..I very seldom

see my neices and nephews..

I think I am going to go and make a nice cup of hot tea.. I wish

I had some honey and lemon I would make a hot toddy.. I dont

know how that would settle tho and I dont want to make any

trips to the bathroom being sick..not good and wears me out..

To roll across this carpet when I dont feel good or have any

energy is NOT easy to do.. I do have an old bedside pot that I

keep in the bedroom just in case.. always pays to be prepared.

plus saves me from a mad dash to the bathroom which for me

it may be mad, but I sure dont dash well..more of a Drag! :-)

I dont feel well but I just checked.. Im still a very GORGEOUS

WEEBLE.. sayin "nitey nite"

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? Love ya and THANKS!! :-)
Always, Lois ****

God Bless you, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend";

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again.....
