I have not been feeling overly well and I was sleeping in, or so I thought. My sons were off at various activities and rather than DH kissing me goodbye and heading for work, he stayed home and then decided I has slept enough! Why did he wake me? I am sick! The luxury of having teens is that they drive themselves and they can actually care for themselves while I try and heal. My sons arrived home and asked what I was doing out of bed. Good Question!

I found a new (to me) jewellery designer on Etsy. I adore her pieces. They are fresh, clean, and classic. I am quite excited by my new find.

I have been making progress on my Lily Cardigan. Not as much as I would have liked. The design is simple and fairly well laid out so I should have had it completed a week ago! I do not know why I am procrastinating.

It is quite possible that if I hear the telly on, one more time during the day, I will snap. I realise it is summer break, yet I cannot stand the sound of the telly or for that matter, music, during the day. It is grating on my last nerve.

Why do relatives leave me cryptic messages on FB? First off, I rarely check FB. Secondly these are relatives. Pick up the phone (surely all recall what one is) and tell me properly, please. Little messages that I must try and decipher are not working.

This summer has been a long one, yet moving rapidly. Yes, I contradicted myself, I know. It has been a long summer in terms of being mentally exhausted from worry and grief. Yet the days have flown by. It must be age related. Actually, I know it is age related.

Finally, I have mentally added up the cost of my boys heading back to High School in a few weeks and the dollar cost is alarming to say the least. Why do kids become increasingly expensive?

Time for a second and third cup of coffee and possibly a trip back to my bed!
