Bits and Pieces

* After a full week of the flu, I am finally feeling human again. I am going back to work tomorrow.

* Bruce came home from work on Friday with the tell tale signs of the flu bug. He is sick, but seems to have a slightly milder case of it.
Lucky him.

* The kids leave for the UK on Wednesday. They will be in Barcelona, Spain the following week. I am jealous!!

* It was a crazy, stormy, extremely windy past few days!!! 75 degrees on Friday, followed by a night that sounded like a hurricane. Yesterday was blustery as well.

* I feel out of touch with the rest of the world after a week in seclusion.
I didn't talk to anyone, barely watched any news or anything. I am ready to rejoin life again....LOL.

* Our lovely feline children are going to have to adjust to NOT having me home all day, every day to attend to their every whim. Mainly Bitty will miss my status as "doorman" to let her in and out 8 dozen times a day.

* I have become addicted to Pinterest!!! I spent a good part of the week setting up my boards...pinning anything and everything that caught my eye. But after playing around with it for a few days, I have discovered how practical it can be. My next home project is tackling our dark, outdated dining room. And now I have a board that lets me pin products and ideas, directly linked to the websites. Very cool. It is so much easier to keep track of bookmarks that way, with a picture of what you liked. You have to be invited to join, so if you are interested, let me know and I will be happy to send you an invite.

* Bruce is trying out a new family Dr. tomorrow. Our usual place does not take appointments. And while we like both of the docs there, and have been there for years, sometimes (MOST of the time) you end up waiting an eternity. We have shopped around for a family GP, and found it alarming that a) there really aren't that many as our town is chocked full of specialists. And b) many of the GPs are NOT taking on new patients. Anyway, this doc is a woman, and the office is conveniently nearby. IF he likes her, we are both switching our files over......so here's hoping....

Have a good week ahead, stay well, and be happy!
