6:21 pm	crap well, i got some crap moved out of my house today. woo hoo. it was stuff that belonged to the fiber guild. i'm so glad to have some more of my space back. i just got tired of having to work around that stuff. i also got a few other things delivered to where they go and that feels good. so, this morning i got up around 6 even though i wanted to sleep in. i just couldn't. got up and did stuff to get ready for the guild meeting and for helen's birthday party. i ended up being about 5 minutes late for the meeting because of a phone call. we had a pretty good meeting even though i had (still have) a headache. there is so much going on within the group as far as individual stress pits. so burdened for one of my friends. I think that added to my stress and headache a bit. so thankful for prayer! jack is on his way home. don't know when he'll get here. i am going to ride into anchorage with ramona. she is dropping someone off at the airport and since she doesn't get into anchorage much she wanted to be sure that she had assistance finding her way out. i hope my headache goes away before that. i have to get the prayer list done and my Sunday school lesson done tonight. i have other things that need done but they will just have to wait. i only have a couple hours before r comes over to get me. i'd better get a move on.

4:11 pm	sciatic yowchie, the old sciatic nerve is annoying me no end. i've put up with it all day. it is distracting. i'm not typing well and won't be able to sit here very long. i still have a ton of stuff to do and i need to take a shower. i have been in my nightgown all day long. heh. i love days when i get to stay home and get stuff done. i don't believe i finished anything. i really thought i would have but that is just how it goes. oh well, i did get my bed made and some laundry done so that is good. i suppose. also got all the dishes done and i made some cheese out of the fresh milk that i got. i got some heavy cream. mmmmm. i love it! the cheese isn't done yet but i love the ice cream that the boys and i made from the last fresh stuff i got. we had fun with the old hand crank ice cream maker. i'm using ben and jerry's recipes. tasty goodness. now i'd better go and get jack's steaks cooking. the potato is way done by now.

4:41 pm	it's raining oh crumb. the weather has turned to crapola. messy messy messy. the hill is nice and icy. the water is running over it like a glacier. i need to go and feed the pacas and do mail. i am dragging my feet but trying to hurry. like the dream where you try to fly and just can barely get off the ground. not enough to clearly save yourself. gotta run.

7:41 am	anchorage bleh. i have to run in there this morning after taking my friend into palmer to drop off her van. then i have to go to wasilla to return the disaster team phone which i have had for two weeks. i'm not sure what order i'll do it all in except getting my friend first. i have to administer our fbi test to two people today and all of their kids will be here with them. it will take about an hour. hopefully the children will all behave. (not really likely) my house is a pit and i really need to get stuff done but as i look ahead at the week there just doesn't seem to be any time for me to do it. sigh. i am just going to try to fit stuff in where i can. that is all i can do. today's trip into anchorage is to pick up some yarn for a friend of mine. i will do a tiny bit of grocery shopping but mainly it is for her stuff. something i had said i would do awhile back. yeah, me and my mouth. now i have got to run!

6:56 pm	Thanksgiving went well. we ate with our friends at their house. Brandy and the children came over here the night before so we could watch the parade together. we brought the stuff other than turkey and potatoes and gravy. i bought pies because i didn't feel like making them. i did make the rolls only because one of my friends actually asked me for some bread the next time i made some. it takes very little time but i have to be in the mood. i am not into cooking much at all. anyhoo, i babysat for my friend on friday. she has four children and she wanted to go out to all of the early bird sales. i watched her daughter last year. (this year she added three more to the house by foster parenting with adoption in the future. they are relatives.) anyhoo, it was pretty fun and i did get some knitting in. it really did take the whole day though. we were going to go out to eat for our 24th anniversary but the weather was terrible so we stayed home and ate enchiladas and spanish rice and beans. woo hoo. actually i didn't mind at all because i was pretty tired. today we went out for our anniversary meal with brandy and the children. i had a santa fe salad. it was really good. i also had cheesecake with strawberries on top. i loved that as well. i couldn't finish it so i had to bring some of that home and will ingest it tonight probably. heh. now i am heading back upstairs to watch tv with jack. i also need to work on my knitting projects. he will be working tomorrow so it will be another day at church by myself. bummer. i'll probably go to manna for their fellowship meal so that will break the day up a bit. i don't know, i might stay home and work in my craftroom....ooops i mean studio. (going for that grown up sound) now i'm off to spend time with my sweetie. (Comment on this)

11:52 am	finally the fever seems to be gone. at least i sure hope it is. i am going to say that it is since i haven't had one in the last 24 hours. i should take it right now too but i'm afraid it might have changed since i am feeling really warm right now. that could be because i am up and doing stuff so i'm not going to worry about it. today i am going to help my friend teach a writing class to her children. actually the dvd teacher is going to teach it to them and i am just going to monitor. i think it looks like a pretty good program at least at these earliest stages. i'm not sure how i feel about the later ones. anyhoo, it will jump start them in their writing. i'm trying not to get too involved because i get the feeling we are on different pages and my whole goal in this is just to help her out not to change her mind on how or where she teaches. this will be tough for me because i have discovered i am a control freak. i'm really trying not to be. all prayers in this area appreciated. jack will probably be working late today so i might just go to the disaster meeting tonight for the red cross. i have started doing relief work for them again. i had been away from it for several years. i had one fire call over the weekend while i was sick. standing outside for two hours with a fever didn't help me at all. oh well. whining all done. now i am trying to get stuff caught up around here because i got so behind while i was sick. i just couldn't get anything done. was too tired. off to work (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:58 pm	still sick with the whatever it is. coughing to the point that my ribs and back muscles all hurt. a lot. tylenol chases the fever for a little bit but it comes right back when that wears off. i am so. sick. of. it. i passed the feeling bad part and for the last two days have moved on to the annoyed with it stage. i thought that meant i was getting well until i didn't get well. i have stayed home the entire week and gotten absolutely nothing done. really. nothing. i just don't feel like doing anything. how sucky is that?! i have been sitting in my chair watching every Christmas show that comes on. that part is kind of cool but there truly is a lot i need to be doing and i'm not getting it done. jack is at work today so we are both missing church. bleh. i just ran out of energy so i am going back upstairs to my chair. pathetic.

5:56 pm	yeah i got it bleh and double that. i got the cold that everyone else has. tightness in the chest that started sometime yesterday. only getting worse now. guess that is how it goes. now the headache is coming on. i've had the joint aches all day but that isn't sickness related...just 20 below zero related. brandy and children just left and headed home. i was gone part of the day which was kinda hard. i missed hanging out with them. then it seemed that all afternoon i was on the phone catching up on stuff. bleh again. i am going to find a movie and go upstairs, sit in my chair and have something hot to drink while knitting and snuggling my dog. or dogs depending on how many decide to join me. i have got to work on the stocking for bella. i'm excited to get her name on there. i just hope i have the presence of mind to be able to. tomorrow is basically canceled for me. was supposed to be Bible study day but we decided not to because it is going to be 20 below or more. woo hoo. i was supposed to lead the study and mine isn't done yet so i'm a bit relieved. i just feel like going to bed but it is way too early. i have to heat up the innards first as well because i am just feeling cold through. that would be the fever talking i'm sure. off to do the aforementioned tasks.

5:34 am	shopping day bleh. i don't like to go shopping. brandy and the children are here so we will all go together and that will make it bearable. i haven't done any menus so unless i get to that before we go, i'll be flying blind and that really bugs me. i always just spend too much when i do that. i should make and stick to a list. i have to consider that Thanksgiving shopping will be on this trip so i need to get whatever it is that i need to make for that day as well. eep. my brain is too tiny. i'm feeling like i want to go back to bed. jack had to leave for work an hour early this morning. it is a balmy 4 below right now. it was 11 below when i came home from church last night so it has warmed up. the heater in my suburban will only work on high. that is rather annoying and will add a bit of bleh to the trip. it is difficult to talk over it. i guess i shouldn't complain, at least i have a car and a heater. (it also has a remote starter so that helps on days like this) this could be a long day. i have a bit of a headache right now. i did get some things done yesterday. i finished clarkie's stocking. brandy is annoyed at how big it is. heh. she will have to get a job in order to fill it. hee hee. now i have got to start on bella's. now i guess i'd better go. i might try to get some rest before everyone else wakes up. even though i really should make some lists.

10:48 pm	beautiful snow the tiny kind of flakes but they are still pretty. i did get my errands done but not much else. i did some cooking so the dishes that i had all done are a thing of the past. my counter is full again. bleh. i did some squash because i want to make some squash soup. i also made some egg salad for sandwiches. i have a lot of eggs. we buy them from a local organic farm each week. i haven't been using them very much due to lack of time so now i have about four dozen. eep. i have got to get with the program. i am happy that i got the fbi stuff mailed out. that was a load on my mind. i am also happy that i got started on clarkie's stocking again. i still have a ways to go on that but at least i have it started. i still have bella's to do so i have got to get busy. they take awhile. for me at least. mom always seemed to be quite fast with them. i have to pay attention while knitting these stockings. they have a design. oh that reminds me that i also have a sock that i need to rip out and reknit. i did something wrong when i turned the heel. i have no idea but i am going to fix it. i also have a huge list of things that i need to get done for Christmas this year. i really need more time. story of my life. i was going to quit doing the home health work but i just couldn't make myself do it. i couldn't tell my people that i was going to quit. i feel like a big ole weenie but i just can't. oh well, God knows and will give the opportunity if it is what He wants. i'll just have to keep praying and learn to live with the answer if the answer is to keep on doing what i am doing. brandy and the children are coming over tomorrow afternoon. we'll be going shopping in anchorage on monday. i am out of most everything. (cept eggs) she is also running low. we usually have lunch at costco while we are there. sometimes we eat at the base. tomorrow we'll be rushing in and out since daylin has been sick. we don't want to keep them out. especially with everything that is going around. so far 9 people in anchorage have died from that h1n1. i didn't realize that until last night i saw it on the news. very sad. they don't say much about it either. it was in real small print at the bottom of the screen. i have got to make sure that i get back to practicing my guitar. i'm so lame. i'm in the same spot in my book that i was at this time last year. i just fell off the wagon. in my defense it really has been a busy year for me. my worst one yet i think. anyhoo, my teacher was very cool about it and didn't make me feel terrible so that was a nice relief. now i am heading to bed. i was hoping to get some work done in my craft room today. i think i am going to start calling it my "studio". that sounds so much more grown up doesn't it? so anyway, i didn't get anything done in there and it is very crowded which is a bummer because it means that i can't just go in there and get to work on the projects i have started. sigh. i am going to bed before i can think too much about it. oh yeah, today was jack's gma's funeral. we heard it went well and was very nice. weird but we already miss her at odd times. i'd better get going for realsies because i have got to get up and work on my Sunday school lesson. i didn't get that done today either. bad me. (Comment on this)
3:02 pm	errands done and i am home again. whew. i almost missed my guitar lesson. i totally suck. i haven't practiced since like february or something crazy like that. actually i have practiced some but i haven't had a lesson since then i think. either way, i'm thankful my teacher is patient. i was thinking about going out to brandy's but i just can't. jack is on his way home. he wouldn't mind if i went but i just have so much on my mind here at home to do. i have got to get busy. i have been gone all morning. now i have got to supercharge and get some food made and some cleaning done. i am going to knit tonight as well. i know i'll feel much better once i get some of the christmas gifts done. i can do it so i am off to try. (Comment on this)
10:55 am	still slogging but have decided to go out and run errands to try to make myself get some stuff done. really, i am annoyed with me for wasting time. precious time. somewhere around zero. had to plug the car in and am now waiting for it to warm up. i am praying to be inspired by the fresh air to come home and get a lot of work done. i have a lot to do. sigh. i do. (Comment on this)
9:39 am	gravy today is slow, thick, like gravy. i can't decide what to do with my time. i'm irritated at that. brandy is sick. she needs help and i would like to be able to go over there and help but i also have stuff here that i need to get done. she is thinking about coming over here which would be fine with me but jack would be annoyed if he gets sick from being around them. it is a dilemma that i don't want to deal with. i'm somehow always in the middle. always. i am out of stuff to make for supper. okay, i have a few things but i really need to go shopping to get groceries. i don't want to. i want to just sit and do nothing and yet that drives me crazy too. bah! maybe it is all because of our prophecy conference. there is so much more important stuff to do and i stagger at the thought of how close we are to the last chapter. provably close. hard to make my feet take the steps i need to take today. slogging through the gravy. so far i have managed to do dishes. that is it. sigh. now i am going to balance the checkbook and think of the groceries i need to get. really will have to go shopping sometime soon. bleh.

8:45 am	darkness winter is full on here. it is about 18 degrees this morning. we have about 8 inches of snow. it looks like more is on the way. i'm okay with all of it but the darkness is kicking my butt. it keeps me feeling tired all the time. i have very little energy. bleh. yesterday jack was home so we worked in the garage most of the day. we got 2/3 of the insulation up in the ceiling and the plastic over it. that was a bear. today i have keeper's club to get ready for. i'm going to teach them how to make mashed potatoes and gravy so they can help out at Thanksgiving. Actually i think the gravy lesson is for next week. gah, my stupid hand is going numb again. i'd better go before it annoys me too much. grrrrr. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:41 am	yet another busy week we have revival meetings all week. it has been very good. he is teaching on prophecy. this is also covered in depth in our current fbi classes so it is very good reiteration. i missed last night since i was in nursery but my friend is filming them so i can catch up. yesterday i was busy helping my friend move furniture and i ran a few errands. when i got home i ended up going with jack to home depot to get the rest of the stuff for insulating the garage. then i took him to pizza hut. we hadn't done that yet. he kept changing his mind about wanting to go or not. so we finally did. had it for breakfast this morning as well. anyhoo, we left from pizza hut and headed straight for church. made it just in time. got home, knit for a few minutes and went to bed. we hadn't had any snow and yesterday we woke up to 6 inches. today there are 2 more inches. i was hoping it would hold off just one more week. oh well. at least it is pretty and since there was so much there weren't as many accidents. it seems that the more we get then folks decide they might need to slow down. that is a plus. usually there are over 100 accidents on the first snow. jack only saw 3. so far i have gotten some laundry done and my Bible study done but that is about it. i clean at nancy's this morning at 10 and then i am going to come home for a quick shower and unload the car and then i am heading over to brandy's. i'll help her get ready for clarkie's very late birthday party and then i am heading back to church for tonight's meeting. i still need to wrap gifties this morning. my left arm is really bugging me today. it is numb almost constantly. i am waking up every night with it. sigh. i may actually have to go have it looked at. i wish it would just go away. (the pain not the arm) jack is home tomorrow so i might not even make Bible study. hmmm. i probably will skip everything so i can stay home and help with the garage. we really need to get the insulation up so we can start on the drywall. i only want to park inside if it is going to be heated otherwise there won't be any point. i have a car starter that will be of more use if my car is outside. then at least i can be warming it up. so anyway, wed. will be busy with garage stuff. thursday i have keeper's club. we are going to work on things they can help make for Thanksgiving. i also have to administer the fbi test before our revival meeting. friday i will be working from 8am to 2pm and then i'll be watching the boys for brandy. they'll be staying overnight maybe even till sunday. i don't get much done with all the kids around. (i'm not complaining, just telling the truth.) i love having them here. now i'd better take my numb arm and finish hanging up jack's uniforms. i also have to get wrapping. sigh. i also need to pack the car with everything i am going to need for the day. ulp (Comment on this)

7:48 pm	inventory done ahhh, that is a relief. i have 77 items to put in the sale. so many more that i have started or wanted to do but didn't get done. too bad. maybe next year. (though i won't be in charge i still might want to sell stuff.) we'll see. i still have a few things to pull together and put in the car but i'm closer to done now. i also need to get tonight's supper made although it will be for tomorrow at this point. i'm glad i stayed home from class. i don't feel much calmer yet but i do feel like i am at least getting something done. i am also going to watch the office tonight yay for me! i'd better get off of here because i think it comes on soon.

4:45 pm	started off running and it hasn't stopped since. i am sitting here typing, hoping my stomach will calm down. it ain't looking good so far. busy all morning...trying to get everything together for the sale. hmmm. i don't even know how i'll do the tables yet. i think i may have to skip class tonight. too much to do. anyway, i was just getting ready to jump into the shower and jack's mom called. they really need a pic of bella because jack's gma has asked for one and she is dying. literally. she calls back with an email address for me because i told her that would be quickest. (i had asked for one a long time ago but no one had one or something.) anyhoo, i sent out some pics right away. gma had been on morphine and it hadn't kicked in but finally did and she was sleeping and no one was going to wake her up to see the pics but God woke her up so she could see the baby then she went right back to sleep. i believe she won't wake again. i know she was happy to have seen her. they are all amazed that she woke up but we all know Who did it. I am so thankful to God because i was feeling so bad about not having gotten any pics to her. that helped me feel better. i was about 10 minutes late to work because of waiting on the computer etc. they didn't mind. i just stayed a bit later. after work i went to the bank, then picked up stuff for the sale from a member that can't make it, then went all the way to wasilla, got burger king for supper, dropped off some stuff for brandy at a pregnancy outreach place, stopped by and dropped stuff off at ramona's. got home and fed the pacas and now i am trying to finish getting stuff ready. i'd better go and do that so i have some kind of peace about tomorrow. dread, dread.

8:40 am	stressy weekend our guild sale is this weekend and i am feeling a bit stressy about it. i just always have dreams of getting everything done early and yet i never do. sigh. this is the last sale that i want to be in charge of. i am trying to simplify my life. i need to. my memory is shot and i am feeling very scattered. i do hope it is just the perimenopausal thing. gah. i don't want it to last forever. now i have got to go make supper for tonight, take a shower, inventory my stuff for the sale, and get ready to go to work. the folks i do home health care for want me to increase my hours with them and take on another day. i told them i would take on more hours on friday but i cannot do another day. it is all just getting to be too much. to top it all off i am helping with the building of the garage. not much but it does put me on call when jack needs me to help. i know i am feeling a bit whiny. i should be glad that we have a garage. and i am. now i'd better go and make sure i get stuff done. i hope i remember everything. sigh.

9:20 am	don't ask me how i do it i just do. i have misplaced a notebook that i use everyday. amazing. in a most irritating way. it seems if i go a day without touching something i can never find it again. grrr. i was so excited about how much i actually got done yesterday that i never ended up using my notebook or really looking for it. i'm wondering if i left it at church the other day. i'd be really surprised but if i can't find it around here then i'll look there while i am out and about. i have to go and clean at nancy's in just a few minutes. it seems that time goes so fast when i get on the computer. i have a ton of stuff to do again today and i was hoping to be all organized before i left the house but i don't believe that is going to happen at this late time. i'd better go get dressed.
