Monday: J was still here because of the snow. Her flight had been cancelled and she rescheduled it for Tuesday. We made tons of bath fizzys (close to 500) and a days worth of soap. At night we relaxed, watched TV and knit and crocheted
Tuesday: Early morning trip to the airport to get J home. Her flight from Allentown tp Philly was fine but it took her a few tried to make it from Philly home, and her luggage didn’t make the trip with her. I took the day and paid bills, worked on my web site design, designed my 2007 catalogs, finally, and C and I went to BJ’s that night so I could get some supplies and some stuff for the house. Don’t know what was up but my left hip was killing me, I could hardly walk around the store.
Wednesday: I met with Barb and we went over goals. I was doing pretty well on the goals I had set for the past two weeks. Pretty much I needed to get my catalogs finalized and proofread, I have a bunch of stuff that I STILL haven’t gotten on eBay, and a few things I need to order are out of stock, but everything else was done. I made an aggressive list of things to do for the next two weeks as well. It keeps me on my toes for sure! After we met I sent out a few show applications and worked on my second sock of my first pair of socks I am knitting. I really have to think and pay attention when I knit it so I have to be in the right mood to work on it. It’s not all that hard, but it is my first pair, so it’s not all that easy either.
Thursday: I made soap and wrapped the fizzies, but most of the day and night I had a migraine, so I slept as much as I could and rested so it would go away.
Friday: More soap made and I got oils and lye measured out for basic soap to make the next day. I also broke down 120 lbs of baking soda into plastic bags so I could mix ingredients for bath fizzys. That took forever! I also made lotion bars, two fragrances down, four to go!
Saturday: I got ready for my trip with B. I made 4 batches of basic soap. C and I went to Lowe’s and a local store that is closing so that I could see if I could find displays. There was a lot of cool stuff there, but I didn’t see anything I could use. C and I went to Fudruckers for lunch and then just chilled for the rest of the day.
RIP Mandy: My mom had the unfortunate need to put Mandy, her dog, to sleep in the wee hours of Saturday. My Mandible was 14 years young but was suffering from kidney failure, and little could be done to save her. Mandy came to live with us when I was a freshman in college, so she was much more my mom’s dog than mine, but Mandy loved me anyways. She always knew the sound of my car, and ran down the driveway to meet me. In her old age, she knew not even to bother to bark, because it was me, and I was safe. Mom got to hold her as she passed, and thinking of my mom’s pain even now makes me teary eyed. But at least I know Mandy is someplace, pain free, full of energy and bliss. Thank you for 14 years of unconditional love, my friend….
Sunday: B, M, C, and I met for breakfast and then B and I went to Atlantic City for our second annual, bi-annual, girl’s weekend away. If that sentence didn’t make any sense- we went twice last year, spring and fall, and now again this spring, and we plan on going in the fall this year as well. We stayed at Harrah’s for two nights and Sunday after playing in the casino there we went to Showboat to hang out and to have dinner. I actually wasn’t down that much money by the end of the night, but things do have the ability to change….
