Very early Thursday morning I woke up and started stressing over what I was going to work on first. I've got several really, really very great things coming up. I'm turning 50 and my whole family is coming from Oregon and my oldest son from Texas to celebrate. We will be celebrating my sister's, our friend Glynis's, and our friend Phil's birthdays which are all three on the same day. Then we'll be having a wing-ding for all the fam on my birthday. Then the day after everyone except Mom go home, Mom and I are leaving for Nebraska by car for the Silver Bella Workshop and for me to see where my maternal grandparents grew up. Sooooooooooo, you can imagine all the details swimming in my head. Oh, I'm also a vendor at Silver Bella so I'm making as much art as I can for that. Sooooooooo, I decided that I was long overdue for what I call a "mental health day". That means no phone, no outings, no dressing, no cooking, cleaning...it's about magazines, cross word puzzle, daytime t.v., and this photo-op while I was chillin' on my front porch right after I refilled the bird feeder.
Things did get exciting late in the afternoon...I won't go into the rumble outside our house which included about 30 teens...with the arrival of a package from the cottage in Leesburg.
It's was an order I had made on their new website but when it comes it looks like a gift, see how great the wrapping is?
And more fun inside...nests for gifts for...ummm...ummm...people. Overall I did recharge my battery somewhat but rid my psyche of the resentment of not having a day off in so long I can't remember. I highly recommend these mental health days, if you need a note from a doctor I can get you one, no questions asked...
