WEDNESDAY

Bitter cold here in Hoosierville today, Dearies, but I am now in the d-chair and warm and safe and dry, so I have absolutely nothing to complain about.

Buzzy made a new friend today. Her name is Miss Audrey, and she's filling in from another clinic because ours is so short staffed. The stick was remarkably pain-free today, things are flowing smoothly, and I am completely relieved and happy. I ramped up pretty good this morning anticipating that pain, especially since my Monday treatment left me in a bit of agony....but it was all for naught (as almost all anxiety sessions are).

I did a few minutes of stitching on Winter Quakers but put it away and picked up the snowflake instead. 


I was fretting over my lack of interest in Winter Quakers, but realized that stitching one particular project over another in not a mandatory proposition for pity's sakes. I stitch for therapy and enjoyment...why complicate it by shoulding all over myself?

My JB's chair still has not arrived, but it looks like it's getting closer. There were several erroneous reports that it would be here Saturday, then Sunday, then Monday before the tracking system finally fessed up and said "We really have no clue as to when it will be there" and I decided to just exercise some patience.

I did get my chore done yesterday, which was to clear off the dining room table once and for all. I corralled and purged and organized our snacks into a cart and promised that not one bag or box of  anything would be purchased until we make a dent in this mess:


In my defense....I show love through food (obviously), so unless there are enough things to stock a small convenience store, I feel stingy.

(Well...that and the fact that I discovered Costco and have no restraint whatsoever and am completely hypnotized by the sheer size of everything.)

(Oh...and I also have this weird propensity for maintaining an inventory by buying two of something to replace anything that is less than half full.)

(You should see my deodorant shelf.) 

As God is my witness, I come by this honestly, since Mom stocked the house up every Fall in preparation for winter. A side of beef went into the downstairs freezer, and canned goods and dry goods were lined up in the pantry ready for Armageddon. There was also a plethora of things from Uncle Connie's garden that had been canned, because we apparently lived in an era when fresh vegetables were not to be had for months at a time. I'm sure I'm exaggerating, but didn't it seem like we didn't get fresh summer vegetables in the winter?

(Tomatoes, in particular, come to mind).

Wow. I am a Big Babble today! Some days I don't grunt a word, and others I'm writing novels. True to form for me, I guess. Absolutely NOTHING in moderation!

Happy Futzingday to one and all! I hope wherever you are is exactly where you want to be! Come tell me all about it!
