oh Susan I was just joking. I thought you were also hahahahahahaa SMILE and be happy. This is FUN...HUGS ANYBODY has any questions ..PLEASE ask....ALWAYS! ha ha not sure if I can answer it Dorothy. What do you mean? All the words on the collage used at least once? OK let me see if I can clarify the mistery: I made a collage with 25 pictures. Each picture has a name on what you see in the picture. YOUR job is to find the right word to each picture. You only have to write a word ONCE!! Then next time you post, you can use totally new words. Your goal is to get as many words matching the collage words as possible by the 18th. I keep track of the correctly guessed words of each one of you. Tonight I will tally up the scores after everone has posted...speack midnight lol. Just not sure how often you all wanna here the scores??? I do not want to discourage the players that did not guess a lot yet ;-) But like MJ when she guessed on the Frosty, she got a lot of other words just by guessing in that direction ...hint hint hahaha I will be back later Just to make sure nobody has any questions and FUN FUN FUN ...under the sun or snow or rain? Geeeeeee I rather have snow right now then rain. ta ta Lucy

I don't generally get sick often, either, but I'm used to "pushing through" whatever I've got because I have 3 kids, a PT job, 3 dogs...and a DH who works long (and inflexible) hours. I have now felt not-right for a month now, though, so on Monday I'm heading back to the doctor and asking to be tested for mono. I actually slept 13 hours last night, but I'm still dragging. Fortunately we are at our beach house in the pouring rain, so I'm just sitting around reading all day and watching the rain from the porch. DH commented to me earlier today "you never rest!" Well, duh. Since I arrived here 3 days ago with my youngest DD, I've emptied and "power washed" the porch, assembled 3 pieces of furniture, gone shopping, carried heavy night stands from garage to 2nd floor bedroom, and bought a headboard at a consignment shop with the intention to sand and repaint it before we leave on Sunday. Okay, maybe the headboard can wait. I don't know how to rest but I'm practicing today!

Ok. So. Update. I've been seeing my neighbor, who is an accupuncturist and one, who trains many. I have confidence in his woo-woo-ness (I made that up) because I'm woo-woo myself. Has held me in good stead. He's been treating my elbows, which I determined wasn't tendonitis, but yes, damage from banging my Ulnar nerve. Within the 1st visit, my left arm is FINE. He's working on the rest. Tinnitus, a little bursitis, and [sigh] unfortunately, the underlying causes of imbalance, which is me. That said, he's asked me to journal. I thought I kinda did, here, but he said, "NooOOoooo. That's not enough and not about you." Huh? Has he read my novels, er, I mean posts? And THAT said, I started a Word document titled, "What I did today." I've discovered I have done laundry/uniforms. Put vacuums away. Moved extension cords. Gone to the reuse centers. I plan time for my 30 minute naps before work. And work! I go to work! And so on. It might be a tiny thing a day, but so far, it's stuff that's been haunting me and I have the, "There! That's done" feeling when I'm finished. I think that feeling is indicative of an accomplishment, don't you? I'm still feeling a bit lazy, but an hour in 104 heat cutting down ornamental grasses I spent 3 hours spraying 2 days before? And they're gone? HA! Done. I hooked up power strip up inside my MBR vanity drawer for blow dryer and curling iron (I'm trying to be a girl) like I saw folks here do with chargers. "I'm proud," she exclaimed, pounding chest like monkey!. Just thought I'd share. This silly document has done wonders for my overwhelmedness. Like water on a rock....

Biwa, More and more I look for easy patterns to do without needing to buy ta book or pattern. The internet makes it easy. I really should take note where I see the quilts or something that will guide me back to the page that peaked my interest. I have 3 right now that I cannot think of the name used or where I saw them.....although I think 2 came from Bonnie Hunter's page. FuzzBall and her mother, Prissy, are not really our cats. We offered to 'kitty-sit' about 5 years ago when DD's family went on vacation and they forgot to pick them up when they returned. Their family is quite active, coming and going often, and we are stay-home types. They come and visit, pay for vets and meds.........DH cleans the litter boxes and feeds them. He's an animal lover and is good with them. The grands thought FuzzBall was a he until they took him in to be 'fixed' and he was pg. lol She was a ball of fuzz when little, hence the name. They give us something other than ourselves to look at throughout the day. :-)
