Today

Still a little puffy this morning - maybe it's environmental. And my whole face is itchy. Weird feeling, maybe I should take some Benadryl. I'm having leftover soup for lunch today - if the reaction happens again, we've got a fairly isolated set of ingredients to eliminate. Just in case, though, I'm going to keep the Benadryl handy.

I needed to get the next side of that Christmas quilt marked yesterday before the kids got home and took over the counter with their homework. Didn't happen, so I'll do it today. I'm really pleased with how the finished part looks, this one will definitely be done before it's "due." I'm going to cut some more knots for my bowties too, 2 or 3 of each fabric I haven't used yet should give me another couple of dozen. I'll pick fabrics this afternoon for the ties, and get everything cut in preparation for sewing when I can find a few minutes. 25 will get me halfway and it's only the first of February!

For now, though, I'm off to spend a few hours at my post behind the desk at the school library. I don't get any dollars for the work I do, but I do get paid in smiles and colouring pages. :o)
