• It's A Beautiful Day ...

  I'm sick now.  Headache, low grade fever, and tummy trouble mostly.  Some coughing but not nearly as bad as the kids' coughs have been.

  Of course, I'm not trying to convince me that that I'm sick so I can stay home, I'm trying to convince me that I'm not so sick that I can't get some work done.

  But there are beautiful things in my day.

  1. Michael is almost well.

  2. Tucker is much better.  He's asking if he can roast a hot dog in the fireplace for his lunch.  Last night I denied him Captain D's because I was pretty sure he would just throw up.  If he can keep down a hot dog though, I'll let him have his kids meal tonight.

  3. my boss has COMPLETELY lost his mind.  As of today we have 3 days of sick leave per year, (up until now there was no sick leave, just unpaid absence with the promise that they wouldn't fire you for having flu since it was saving them a few dollars.)  We also now have:  (drumroll)  VACATION
  6 mos -2 years = 2 weeks
  2-5 years = 3 weeks
  5+ years  =  4 weeks

  4.  The company that manufactured the puzzle that so disappointed us last weekend responded to my email reporting the quality problem has offered to replace the puzzle.  Yippee!!  They will try to replace it with the exact same puzzle, but if it's out of stock we'll get another "Seaside" puzzle and these are all beautiful.  SO happiness. 

  5.  AND today being the first of the month, I got the interest in my square feet account - every little bit helps! 

  6.  It's really cold in here.  (And not just because I have a fever today.)  It's been cold in here all winter.  SO cold that I've taped plastic over all the windows (which the cat has vandalized so I had to tape MORE plastic over the windows)   SO my best friend checked in this morning and volunteered to bring us more firewood so we can have the fireplace to help make it nicer. 

  A Beautiful Day
