Monday
I seriously did not want to get up this morning. If I had been on my own, I would have slept all day. I know I would have. But, Mom came down to ask me something, and to torment and cuddle the kitties. She admits she likes them. :D They are very lovable kitties, I must say.
Anyhow, she wanted me to put my dishes in a tote so they could be put on a shelf in the garage--but when I went up to go through the boxes she thought were dishes, they were not dishes! They were framed pictures and knick-knacks. I packed all the pictures into a tote that will come down to the basement and go on a shelf in the furnace room that was previously occupied by Mom's coolers and canners. She put those out on the new shelf in the garage--and really, they will be more convenient for her there as the garage is right off the kitchen which is where she uses that stuff.
The totes full of pictures and knick knacks were too heavy for me to carry, so I have left them in the porch until my brother or some other big strong person comes over. I may carry the knick knacks down in the Walmart bags as I am hoping to put those out on the bookshelves in front of the books or on a shelf.
I brought a blue Walmart bag full of little barbie accessories down to my room and sorted it out into my tall sterlite drawered unit. The bottom drawer contains miniature food, dishes, and pots and pans. It is nearly full. I may have to remove that stuff from the drawer and put it into a larger tote and put it onto a shelf in the furnace room...I maybe should sort it out so that the food is in one spot and the dishes and cookware are in another.
I found one of my miniature pound puppy dogs for Hector's room. I know I have at least two more, but this is a start. I also found two of the pound puppy horses for Chryssie's box o' stuff.
I finished the Valentine jumper for Chryssie today. It's cute, but it needs something else--buttons or lace or something to give it a little more pizzazz. It is a sleeveless jumper, so maybe I can crochet her a little shawl to wear over her shoulders...or enlarge one of the pattens I have for the Marley girls and make her a "onesie" turtleneck to wear under it--and tights too.
Mom's sickness has gained strength again. Yesterday, I would have sworn that she had just about kicked it, but today she was hacking and choking on those deep, nasty coughing fits again. So far, I have remained healthy despite my exposure to her. I have had a headache that has lingered and lingered for the last couple of days--but I think it is stress rather than anything more serious.
Mom and I had scrambled eggs for lunch. We had Velveeta macoroni and cheese and cabbage salad for supper. When I came back downstairs to put that stuff away, I ate a Nutty Bar for dessert and took my evening pills with a can of diet coke.
I am going to start trying harder to be in bed and sleeping by midnight. It's nearly 1:30 now, so it won't be tonight....however, it isn't 3 am yet, so I'm doing better than normal.
I'm heading to dreamland now--hopefully I will get some more stuff put away in here tomorrow so I can drag a little more down from the porch. I think my Stewie darling is ready for some much needed smoochy cuddling! He is my good little man.

OH, macaroni and cheese!
Your Mom may be sounding worse but getting better. All of her chest congestion may be breaking up so she can cough it out. So maybe she is getting better.
I'm going to try to get to bed earlier tonight. The health coach is calling tomorrow morning at 9:30 am and I'll have to get up really early on Wed. I probably should have started a few days ago but I just love staying up and then sleeping late.
Plus I get more done in at night. My dining table is almost clear.
