It's a Manic Monday........wish it were Sunday

Remember that song, Manic Monday , back in the 80's.

Well just a short note to say, what's worse than flooding? A brand new car that is wet and leaking. Yes, I commuted 35 miles to work in a squishy wet car as it was dripping on my leg , the carpet is wet, the seat is wet and I went to use my cell phone and it was charged up but wouldn't work. So, the car is "toe up", phone is "toe up" and my stomach, well.......you got it!

May need a canoe to get back home today. And a little Pepto Bismol too........LOL

There are flood warnings here. Schools are actually closed in Tocoa today because of flooding. But if I can make it back up to the mountains, it will just be me and a cozy stitchy night tonight.


Hope your Monday is going well.

Pin keeping

I had a little remnant of the 30 ct Autumn leaves linen and I thought it was too precious to throw away and thought at first, the design by The Sampler Girl Companion, Booklet Two called Always Kiss Me Goodnight would fit this small piece I had perfectly.

But about the middle of the stitching I realized that it was not long enough so instead of "Goodnight" and just put "Nite". I should have measured it or stitched 1 over 1. But, anyway, this is what I worked on this afternoon along with the LHN, Heart of America.

It's still raining here........and predicted at least for the next 5-7 days according to the Weather Channel here. I have cabin fever........

Nite John Boy!

Rain, Rain, Go away, Come Back another Day!

Ren is in my arms today, helping me blog...........he has days he thinks my arms are the best place to be! :0

Woke up this morning with the smell of cheese eggs in the griddle, toast and coffee perking!
I slept very good and until about 11 am because the sound of rain on our tin roof is conducive for sleep.

Body Guard decided to wake me with a surprise gently as he knows I'm definitely a little grumpy in the morning. Him, well, he is a morning person and can jump right up and into the day he goes----me, I gradually have to wake up and don't talk alot at first.

So waking to breakfast was a nice thing. It has rained so hard and for so long our dry creek ( or as our country neighbors call it CRICK) is now a functioning creek/ CRICK! ;0

Body Guard put on his rain gear and headed out to the back of our property to get a few pics of the creek.

Ruby decided to cross over following Body Guard.

Raven, my girl, decided to watch and wait.

I'm enjoying my coffee now and in between trying to feel not too guilty about not cleaning the house this weekend but stitching instead.

There was just issued a Flood Warning (not watch), so flooding is imminent but living on a mountain assures us that we are not in a flood zone so thank goodness for that.

This is day 7 of rain. I'm starting to feel Seasonal Affective disorder already which is conflicting with my PTSD and makes for a real bummer mood. I need the sunshine bad!

I had a scare with Ren last week so I'm watching him carefully. One evening he completely lost feeling in his back leg and side and couldn't get up. He was struggling so hard with his other side. Scared me to death! This lasted about 3 minutes but it felt like 15. He was alright after that and hasn't done that again but I don't know if that is a warning of something more serious.

Well, hope you are staying dry and the sun is out where you are!
