I've been crocheting (yes, I do THAT too!) while prowling the web for grub box ideas and I found a couple so I'm good. I was wondering where to put the paper towels so they wouldn't fall on the ground. Problem solved! I also got a good look at how some designs are held closed -- something the instructions I'm expanding neglected to mention! Now I need to figure out how to get "light" where I need it (a lantern hung on a pole anchored to the box maybe..) and my major concerns will be addressed.

Afternoon.
It's cold and I slept in. I've been trying to wake up for the last hour and a half. Cold weather makes me want to hibernate....

Firetrucks and ambulances have been flying by and we're going to investigate while we go out to lunch. Be back later.

Afternoon.
I'm slow getting started today. Must be the cold and snow seeping into my brain. I will now attempt to get higher order cognitive functions online......

Skywise is finally off to work (he tried to leave without his car keys) and I'm going to refresh my tea and get to work. The sooner I have this damned user manual in a usable condition, the sooner I can get to fun stuff like writing with it.

I'm back. We napped which is a good idea since Skywise has a chest cold and neither of us want me to catch it.
Now to refresh the tea again and get back to work.

DONE!!!!!!!


Smiley I'm cross-eyed but I hung in there and the user manual is edited into something I can read. There is a lot more to go but that last section is about compiling, exporting and printing and that can wait until I've learned the "writing" part! Skywise got home about an hour ago so I'm going to head out. I'm going to try to stay awake until the download bonus period 'cause there is a LARP rulebook I want to download.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Morning. The towing company just picked up the van. Skywise didn't feel safe driving it with bad brakes with the roads the way they are -- which is to say, not very good at the moment -- so he called the towing company that has picked it up before and they came and got it. They'll deliver it to the shop and they'll be able to start on it as soon as they can, probably tomorrow.

Today is "Pancake Tuesday" so I'm going to go get some!

Skywise reports that 37 is in pretty good shape, 44 is sloppy and the backroads are an [expletive deleted] mess.

I've been getting caught up on th things I let slide while I worked on the user manual. Tomorrow I'll start printing the thing -- Smiley -- but for now, I'm gonna put my feet up and watch Agent Carter. Just two more episodes to go!

It is snowing. It looks like we've gotten an inch to an inch and a half in addition to what we already had. I'm not complaining. I wouldn't dare considering what KC Hoyle is putting up with in Boston!
Skywise isn't home yet and I'm mentally pacing the floor if not yet literally. I'm going to head out and wait for him.

Everyone sleep well and be safe. Smiley Smiley

Skywise just called. He's just now on his way home. He should be here in 40 minutes to an hour depending on how the roads are. I'm going to curl up with my crochet and the Queen and wait for him. Nite.

Officially sick. I have Skywise's cold.

We're heading into town as he's almost out of one of his prescriptions. Yes, I know. Poor planning on his part.
Back later.

We got back about 40 minutes ago. Just in time for Skywise to get ready for work. He's on his way now and he'll probably call to let me know that he made it okay. I'm going to try to start printing th user manual this afternoon but a nap is definitely a high priority. I feel better than I did when I got up but I know that sneaky cold that Skywise has is trying to get a foothold in me so I need to act accordingly. So right now, I'm going to get caught up while he drives to work and once I know he's there, I'll decide what to do next: print or nap.

Skywise called, he's safe at work and "nap" seems like a really good idea. So I'm going to head out for a while with my crochet and a small snack. Then sleepies. Catch ya later.

I thought I made a post a around 8:30 but apparently I didn't. Goes to show that my cognitive functions are not up to speed. I've been resting but not sleeping and I have a little bit of fever. I will now hit "post message" while I am still thinking about it.

This isn't a head cold, a chest cold, the flu or bronchitis and I really can't describe much in the way of symptoms. All I know is that I feel lousy. Time to take my temperature and then more zinc and orange juice.

Working on dinner. Moonie is shredding the mozzarella as we speak.
In other news, I've been sneezing and now I'm starting to feel a little congestion in my chest.
There are no words in the English language adequate to express my feelings about that....
