No day this week marked changing medications. It was almost a set back but the new pills are working well. Most important they are allowing me to sleep longer and deeper between coughing jags. In fact even the coughing has cut down. I have eight more pills to go and hopefully I will be all better.
I have slowly started packing away Christmas but it is going to take more time than usual. I work a little at that, a little at domestic chores, and rest. I did finish Stephen King’s ‘Just After Sunset’. I found all the short stories in it very good. They kind of grabbed you by the collar and twisted it. The novel I started yesterday was a Christmas gift. John Irving’s ‘Last Night in Twisted River’. With 554 pages I will probably be spending a good deal of time with this book.
The mail lady brought my box from Herrschners yesterday so now I have three more sequin projects to do. The first is the four stocking ornaments but they are in Rose instead of blue like the last ones. Next are the six Santa Boots boots in red and black. The last four are the Frosty Fellows, snowmen in top hats. So I will be taking time out every once in a while to pick up the pliers and thimble and play in the sparkly stuff.
My Holiday 'Mouses' !
My last item today is the ‘Mouses’. I don’t remember where they came from, who gave them to me, or if I bought them myself. All I know is every year I take them out of the newspaper nest and place them on the little shelf in the kitchen. This year however they caught the eye of some of my Christmas Eve guests and I was forced to admit my lack of knowledge about their origin. The only thing I know for sure is I love looking at them and they will appear on the shelf over and over until either I or they disappear!
Im glad your on the road to recovery. I love the little mice! how cute are they? Keep on with the medicine and get better every day!
Glad to hear the ‘pills’ are doing their best to get you better…YAY!!! The little mice look like ‘shades of the 50′s’-possibly antiques! Very cute. Don’t worry about getting the Christmas stuff down…if you wait long enough, it’s time to put them back up again! (Our house is in ‘half-Christmas disarray’ right now; I just don’t feel like taking it down & putting it away, so some of it is in little piles all over the place!
I agree with Pammie. Those adorable little mice look like the fifties. Ahhhh, those were the days. Glad you are feeling a little better. Eight more pills and you will be pirouetting (sp) around that kitchen and cooking up all those delicious meals again.
Definitely cute little mouses. Does Molly like to go after ‘em?
Glad you are feeling better. MMmmm…. drugs…..
My Christmas stuff is down and away. Now I’m looking for the box of CDs which usually sit where the Nativity Scene was. Husband moved it somewhere, and he’s at work.
I got a Herrschner’s box, too! been ordering for years. Have no interest working with sequins, but I have a Mrs. Claus given to me years ago by a co-worker.
happy the new meds are working better for you and hope you’re soon good as new!
I still have Christmas stuff out but I’m not gonna worry about it! Dang it- it’s my business- my life-and I’ll take care of it when I feel up to it- OR NOT!
Take care!

So happy you ll came by to visit. About the pirouetting–I don’t think I can do that even when I well Maria.
Thank you for the thing about checking E bay for the mice Pammy. I did see some there but not like mine. Besides I know absolutely nothing about E bay but thanks anyway!
I’m still taking the pills so it should go away soon.
