Post 196 - Bad Day Gone Good!

Well the past few days, I have been trying to find my motivation to hook some rugs - so got out some wool and on Sunday sat and cut some "worms" to sit and do some miscellaneous hit and miss type small rugs - I have so many small pieces of wool - like 1/4 of a 1/4 yard - that I figured I would just try to use up!  As you can see, I was being strictly supervised...

I have pulled a few loops so that's good - just need to get my 'groove on" and get moving!

Seems the "boys" have no motivation either - lots of summertime naps - sometimes all alone...

And sometimes with a friend...   (Who's body goes with which head?)

Well on to my bad day, maybe not so much a bad day but an off day...

Day started out with the "Little Nipster" (a.k.a. Jonesy) - he got the back of my knee  at around 6:00 a.m.  He's lucky he didn't land out the window - I'm very ticklish the back of my knee and anyone that gets near that area gets kicked! LOL He just wanted to play - he dropped a toy next to me.  He loves early mornings and I guess if he's up everyone should be up! 

I wasn't about to get up that early as I had been up to about 2:00 a.m. or so (watching DS of course!) so after a little bit of playing he let me sleep in until about 8:00 when he brought another toy and nipped my hair!  Okay time to get up.  Riley was all snuggled so I literally had to get up the "wrong" (opposite) side of the bed! That tiger wasn't about to move for me.   Hmm was this my first indication  of how the day was going to go? 

Went downstairs and what do I step in?  Yep, vomit, from Miles (the meds aren't helping and he's just wasting away to nothing - we have to call the vet Monday and let him know the progress. Not sure what the next step will be).

Then I'm making my tea and getting out some cantaloupe for breakfast and my nose starts bleeding! Haven't had a nose bleed for many many years!  Thank goodness for my kitties.  Jonesy came over to the couch after I layed down on it trying to get it to stop and sat near my head and put his paw on my arm  - He was too cute and then he curled up on my stomach and just watched me!  Maybe he was making sure I didn't get up too soon. 

Next indication of the day was I was in the shower and picked up a shaver and started shaving my legs.  Well I don't know about you but it sure helps if you take the cap off the shaver!  Yep - actually did a few strokes before I noticed! Geez!

Later on it was off to lunch with my husband at the Mexican restaurant.  Was meeting him at 11:30 a.m. since he had to be back no later than 1:00 today so I left at 11:00 - plenty of time, right?  Wrong!  Road construction on our road and detoured (let alone the detour because our bridge is out) - Every light red on the way - and more road construction and one way traffic up on the main road! I got there around 11:40 - should have been no more than a 20 minute drive at the most! Grrrrr

Decided after lunch to hit the thrift store. No problems there but no "finds" either.

Stopped at WaWa for coffee.   Getting into the car and the lid comes off - hot coffee all over the car and ME! Yep I was saturated and so was my gear shift and my cup holders, etc.! Ugh - Of course only ONE  tissue to wipe it up - so just drove home!

Got home and got the car and me all cleaned up and walked over for my mail - now this is where the day turned good!  One, no bills in the mail, and two a wonderful package from a friend- it certainly was a perfect day to get this!

My friend Cathy, of Hooked on Primitives, sent me the coolest stuffed hooked kitty face.  She's the Queen of making 3-d objects from rug hooking!   Why did she gift me this - Just because it's near the end of the summer!  Aren't friends great !   Now how'd she know today would be a great day to receive this!  Anyway - thank you so much Cathy - I just love!

So that's my day and it's only the afternoon!  Hopefully it will only get better!
