I was pretty much down and out all week with a bad cold.  I didn’t miss any work until Friday, and even had to go swimming Thursday with 16 preschoolers.  By the end of Thursday, I was pretty much toast!  I stayed home yesterday, and am quite a bit better today.

Since I hadn’t done anything productive other than crawl to work, and back for the past week, and since I was feeling better, and it was nice outside today, I went outside early this morning and hauled out all our lawn furniture, and cushions and things, and pressure washed it all.  Then I washed the patio, picked up the yard a bit, and called it good.  Then I went in and tackled the main floor and vacuumed, dusted, and then shampooed the living room carpet.

I took a brief break, and then started some laundry, and putting things back together.  Then I decided to go clean up the balcony.  I got that all spiffy, and headed in for a shower. I was tidying up a bit more outside, and at the same time, wondering where the pups were, and why they were being so quiet.  I discovered that they were out on the balcony, happily chewing and digging in the beautiful pot of tulips that Sarah gave me for Mother’s day!  Hmmph!  I guess this year, I won’t be putting any pots on the ground in th backyard!!  Guess it’s good I found out now!

Now I’m just resting my bones, and trying to get up the energy to work on my online course, which got sadly neglected during my disease! I knew it was supposed to rain tomorrow, so that will be a better day to do schoolwork!

Sarah drove down to the farm yesterday to spend a little time with Jay before she flew out to Kelowna to visit Ben and Jess!  I hope they’re having a nice time.  I know the weather is WAY warmer than it is here!  When she gets back, she’ll spend a few days down at the farm with Jay, and work in Drumheller a couple shifts.

I’m counting down the days until work is finished, and anxiously waiting to see what my assignment is going to be.  Should be very interesting!
