Not Even a Little Cold is Going to Slow Me Down.

I will admit that I was feeling a bit rotten but, lying around with all my exciting projects around me just wasn’t working. I kept drinking tea and eating lozenges. But I my throat was still killing me. So, Monday night I decided to try something. I asked Hubby what he thought about Tylenol for a sore throat. He figured if I could take it while nursing it was worth a try. So I did. It was a small miracle. I did not have to eat one more lozenge all night long. YAY!

Then, I headed to the grocery store yesterday and wondered if they carried the adult version of Coryzalia, which I give to the kids when they are getting a cold (I used it for J and now Apple, but it doesn’t work after 3 years old). And lo and behold, they did! I brought it home, read the instructions online and you can give it to four year olds too. J and I popped our little pills and we both feel much better. YAY!

Now, it is not a miracle, I still have a scratchy throat and a the need to blow my nose still is there, but it is downgraded by at least half. Where I was barely functioning on Monday, I just finished cleaning my whole main floor, including vacuuming the ever shedding dogs (this winter is wreaking havoc on their coat, they don’t know whether or not to shed or bulk back up and thus I have had enough of both the snow and their fur). Which leaves me time this afternoon to work on my projects. YAY!

I have the chocolate molding ready to make the bugs for J’s cake. Hopefully we can do it together this afternoon, I made extra so he could play with some too. I am excited to see how they all turn out. And if they don’t you can bet I will be picking up some pre-made sugar ones from the cake shop.

I have also started working on my “Pay It Forward” projects. They are coming along nicely, but I won’t post photos until they are received by their recipients.

And, silly me, signed up for Martha Stewart’s Easter Workshop. So, I have a few little Easter projects on the go. And I say silly me because I already have so much going on. But, since Easter is so early this year I didn’t want to forget once again to dye the eggs I blew out years ago. So, I have a few little crafties going on to help make it feel more like Spring.

With yet another Winter Storm blowing through, it sure doesn’t feel like Spring is on the way anytime soon (This is a photo of my already shoveled driveway.  And we are only halfway through the storm.).

    Tylenol can be a miracle sometimes. I’m glad it helped and you are feeling some better. Get well! That snow picture is CRAZY! That is a lot of snow! Stay warm and I’ll see you soon. Kellan

    I meant to post a comment on the beautiful photo of your daughter in One Day Last Summer. It brought back memories of my own girls when they were that age. Love it!
