I'm poorly. And I'm feeling extremely sorry for myself. Apologies in advance if this post morphs into one huge big Pity Party.
I mean, I only have a head cold and nothing dreadful but oh boy, I do feel lousy. I'm also very tired, having had very disturbed nights with Little B all this week. I'm wondering whether he is also feeling under the weather as he has been crying a lot for no apparent reason these past few days (and nights).
Luckily Friday is the one day in the week that I keep free from planned stuff, and it's usually a day of pottering, shopping and preparing for the weekend. So today I've opened out our sofa bed downstairs and made it into a snuggle nest for Little B and me. The general idea is to spend the day doing as little as possible which sounds good in theory but i confess it's not going too well. I have optimistically put my crochet to hand, plus a gorgeous new book which arrived on Monday and has not even been opened yet. A couple of unread magazines too, but really and truly it looks unlikely that LB is going to allow me to relax and hook/read. Wishful thinking I think.
However, I am quite good at Wishful Thinking, so I shall hope for the best. You never know. He may stop griping anytime soon and be content to lay and play beside me. Or sleep even. Yes, sleepy time would be good.xxxxxx
GASP!!!! You have an Elmer too!

Hello Lucy,
I'm sorry to hear you were feeling poorly!! I wish I could send you a few butterfly cakes flying to cheer you up!!! I made them for my friends on Friday morning and they LOVED them! I did too. I hope that today, Monday, you've recovered and feel in good spirits again. Speak soon, xxx Pati from London

Hi Lucy! I hope you'll feel better soon. Today I exchanged a short interview with a blogger friend Annemarie of Annemarie's Breiblog and I mentioned your blog. Please come by and visit. Hope that will cheer you up a bit! Thanks!

Hope you're feeling a bit better now, although if there's such a thing as the perfect place to feel poorly, it's definitely amongst your hooky blankets. x

oh no your week sounds like mine! i have had the same horrible head cold, and kitty has been sick and waking up in the night too (first time for over a year!). i was feeling so sorry for myself and she wouldn't allow me to do any craft either. but we're on the mend and sleepless nights are hopefully a thing of the past...again!

Get well soon, and back to your cheery delightful self. I really enjoy your blog so much!

Are you feeling any better today? I had a great day today, but something quite odd occurred during this great day. For no apparent reason I thought someone, someone I don't even know personally, who lives very far from me, is feeling under the weather and so is her baby. I read your post when you first put it up and today,again, you came into my thoughts. Did you ever think blogging would have that effect on people?

take care and get well soon Lucy....

Feel better Lucy...wish I could post the photo I took today. Went to visit a younger version of myself...at her farm. I took her mohair to mix with her wool, 14 bags full. After I emptied the truck of my saab (convertible)(yes, it is beautiful in Maine, today anyway. Romeo, resident goat jumped in...Hope this story makes you smile. Bantam hens with chicks, lambs and 1000 chores, all someone elses...Cheered me right up. God bless, feel better.
