I cannot remember what I did last weekend. I worked on the puppets, the house and mostly I think I just took it easy. I got some paperwork done and that is all that is coming to my mind. My never ending adventure packed life is hard to keep track of at times. ( insert big eye roll here)
We had a bugger of a storm here this week. We did not have it as bad a some people got. One of the guys from our office was stuck on the highway home for 16 hours.It was a mess.
A tiny bit of it tried to get into the house to get warm. When I saw this I was sure the back door would be blocked but it wasn't. My back path was snowed in but not horribly, Thank goodness I have been parking the car at the front of the house.
Not sure I will bother to shovel this. My shoveling boys have not been around so I think I will leave this. I did get the front done so I could get to my car. It was about the same mess. Got to work on Tuesday, got there inspite of the roads being either glare ice or covered with sizable snowbanks. Got from the car to the sidewalk on the ice without landing on my butt. I saved the face plant for the sidewalk in front of the building. Went down like a swan. Falling is not the problem, getting up is. So I floundered about in the snow like a bogged down hippo. Don't get me wrong I had help. People rushed to be of assistance which touches my heart. Such brave souls, I am not easy to pick up. My other fear of a falling is yanking some good Samaritan off their feet and hurting them as they try to get me back on my feet. I was very close to the steps so I flopped about for a bit and got a hold of the hand rail. With that and the helpers I managed to get to my feet with all but my dignity intact.
The next day I came down with a very lovely case of the flu. The whole lovely yucky mess of it. Stayed home, close to the facilities for the next three days. Its just today that I can eat and feel like doing something. I had to cancel my hair cut, my doctor's appointment, paint night and I even missed out on No Cook. I had toyed with the idea of meeting them for the after coffee but once it came time top go, it just seemed too much like work to get ready to go. I was in bed by 8:30 on Friday night. Woke up around 10 and then was awake until going on 5:00 am. Not a happy camper, I hate when that happens but I have slept so much the last three days I was probably slept out. I am very happy to announce that I am feeling much better today.
Lucy and I watched movies while I was in bed. She was fascinated with the tv for awhile and then she flipped into "my human is watching tv in bed and I am a cat " mode and most of the movies looked like this for me.

Why they do this I have no idea but they all do it. Brats.
So I am better, on the mend, however you want to put it. I even managed to go out today and do some errands. A desperate need for kitty litter will make you move. That an another 50% off coupon from the craft store. There have been three in the last little while. Three trips to the store and I got this:
and then this to add to my collection in the punch buggy:
The Punch Buggy is what is what I call this
I crack myself up!! I have come to the conclusion that I have more punches than I need so I am stopping. Today I got stuffing for the puppets with my coupon. I have all the bags I need and I have been really watching the sales so I have not paid full price for much of the puppet materials. I am making an effort to save where I can. More of an effort I should say. love those coupons.
Puppies and Kitties are in production at the moment. On schedule so far.
Today I am missing my Dad. 38 years have gone by since I got that awful phone call to tell me he was gone. I miss him. I will always miss him. I wish he was still here although I know he would be very old. I would still love to talk to him, get some advice, just spend a few more minutes with him. He was gone before I got enough time with him and I so regret that. Sigh.
