Craft On: They Say It's Your Birthday!
Sometimes progress is ripping something out of a project. That's how it went this week. However, I have one mitt completed the way it ought to be and one back on track now.
We still need to pick a book for reading with the kids. Milk: The Surprising Story of Milk Through the Ages became a bit much for me again this week. It has been a hard week. It feels like a whole week happened in the past three days. So, now I am reading another happy, little murder, and that is about what I can handle some of the time.
Today is actually my birthday, but it is much more subdued than even we normally do things. Rich made me a lovely breakfast, we are getting fish and chips for dinner, and he is taking me to see the new Despicable Me movie. You know what I said up there about how sometimes progress is ripping out? Well, that is what it feels like right now in life. We have had a family emergency come up (everyone is safe, marriage is solid as a rock), and between a cold bug starting and the adrenaline and cortisol that shot through me on Monday, I am well in the depths of sickness. Please pray for our whole family.
