Well there’s a thing

The last few days I have really felt out of sorts. Somehow I couldn’t get my act together. We have wondered if I was run down, or sick. Both seem unlikely I have been resting and exercising and I haven’t seen anyone who could infect me in what 5 weeks.  This morning I think I have found the issue. It’s my dog. Seriously thats seems to be the whole thing. Addmittedly I have limited data points and I am not an impartial wittness but I think thats what has been throwing me. Little (ha ha ha ) man had an upset tummy for a few days, which turned out to be he had eaten a bit of cloth probably from a toy. Which meant I went from coming down in the morning and having a cuddle with him to coming down in the morning to a crate of poo and a crazy dog. Doesn’t sound like a massive change I mean I am still up and the same time and in the same place at the same time for the same length of time. However today I came down and got my cuddle, an a nice polite toilet break outside then another cuddle. I feel alert and ready to get on with the day. Dinner is thawing and all is well. Hey I am here blogging see. The last few days I just couldn’t get my brain in gear to do it. I know this sounds nuts, but all I can say is I got out of bed feeling as bad as usual and now I am functional, the dogs crate was the only change I can see, well other than its cold and grey but that doesn’t have this effect. I have even remembered to put the mega moisturiser on my hands. Hey is everyone finding they need crazy amounts of hand grease now or is that just me? I cook so I have always washed my hands a lot, then we got a puppy and it more than doubled but now it seems almost constant and my skin really isn’t loveing it.

Being out of sorts yesterday and knowing I was making bad judgements I decided not to sew, I had had a few near miss disasters the day before. I thought I would get on with my knitting. To knit I need something else to keep my brain engaged and finally lost me temper with the TV. There is just nothing on, I couldn’t even find tolerable background junk. So shelves or not I had to get my DVDs out. We have a room that will be our library, yes we have that many books, though CDs and DVDs will live there too. What we don’t have yet is shelving in there. So all our entertainement is still in boxes. Well nearly all I had to find some quilt books a few months back so some of them are out. We had some free standing book cases at the old house. No where near enough for all the books but just about enough for some of the quilting section and the DVDs. I can’t claim they are neat tidy or easy to get to, but I now have most of the fiction DVDs on shelves. Which means I can watch things I actually like. I even have some new ones I need to watch, which I admit was part of the drive to sort them out. I think with the current situation it may be a while before the room gets it’s shelving but at least I am a bit closer to having a working system again. I was also smart emough to put the other boxes of quilting books on the top of stacks so I can see them if I need to refer to them again.

I hope today with my rediscovered mojo I can get the next borders finished for the Monday quilt. Ideally without any major messing up. Given the rain I can’t see the garden distracting me and I think the other half is ‘out’ at a quiz day. Out these days means in his office using the internet to connect with others but we still call it out as the net difference is minimal. Trying to decide if I make bread today or postpone Sunday breakfast to Monday when I will have a bread delivery. I suppose I should wait and conserve flour, and really one day is much like another now anyway. Does it really matter which breakfast is which day of the week with the new commutes? No, I will be patient. Monday is the new Sunday or something
