Hello October (the second lol)!! When are you going to bring us some cooler weather? Cause this girl could use a break from the summer heat … but please, don’t get too out of hand with it. I’m not a cold weather kind girl. I’ll take some low 80’s during the day, lower humidity and cool evenings. Let’s not make me break out the winter gear just yet, since I seem to be running low on those wardrobe essentials. Living here in the sunshine state makes me forget to purchase more than summer appropriate attire, since we practically have an endless summer … some years we actually do have an endless summer. I’m not looking for this one to go on forever, but I am hoping that it doesn’t get too cold this year. Oh man, and I swear, if I’m getting sick right now I’m gonna be a pissy lil’ thing until I’m better. Kids keep bringing the bugs home since the start of this school year, and I have managed to avoid falling victim to the germs thus far, but this morning I’m definitely off my game. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is something more than stupid allergies … my nose keeps running (making me insane, and where in the hell did my tissue supply go?? I seriously had like a million boxes and now I have none?? How much you wanna bet they were used for something dumb?), I have this sad weak little annoying cough and now my throat is sore. Sounds like a cold, doesn’t it? Not like allergies … but don’t burst my hopes just yet. We are in fall (though it really doesn’t feel like it here), so something could be in bloom that is making my system go haywire (I’m just going to keep telling myself that until it goes away). Plus, I spent a lot of time working on a few furniture projects I have in my garage yesterday. I am refinishing some really cool antiques I stumbled upon (thanks to a friend that’s been partaking in some storage wars lol) and maybe, possibly selling some of them when I’m done. I have two cool old solid cedar hope chests (one depression era and one mid century), a beautiful dining room table (not for sale no matter what, cause I love it and wanna keep it), a cool slab of wood I’m turning into a desk (with my brother, the welder’s help) and two matching rattan shelf thingies (I think they might have come from over seas, but I’ll let you all be the judge). Needless to say I was inhaling dust from all the sanding yesterday, so maybe that’s the culprit for my current state of illness … god I hope that’s all this is, cause I am not a very gracious patient. And so here I am at the bottom of my cup of green tea (with lemongrass) and I’m still not feeling better. I’m going to break down and take an allergy med and see if that helps (gonna wash it down with an emergen-c yuck). Hope you all are enjoying your Tuesday!! Signing off from the sweltering October heat here in sunny FLA … till hopefully tomorrow when I’ll be back on my game.
