Yep, this is me! I have a cold and it is worse at night and early in the morning and then I rally by taking some OTC meds.
Yesterday was cold and snowy but I managed to get quite a bit done, despite my drippy nose.
We are working on another puzzle, and this one is much more difficult.
Sissy spent the night Friday night along with her Dog Roscoe, as the snow was really coming down and we just did not know how the roads were going to be going up to the Elks where she lives.
She went to book club and then stopped here and wanted to work on the puzzle.
I felt so punk Friday afternoon that I laid on the sofa and fell asleep for three hours (I rarely nap, or I should say I am bad napper). I woke when Sissy arrived and my head was killing me, so I went to bed after taking some more cold medicine and slept 10 hours. I did not even awaken when she crawled in bed beside me.
We worked on the puzzle on Saturday morning and then Sissy and Hubs went up the Hill to start baking sour cream cookies for Valentines Day and I went to the grocery store (by myself) and I was very good and only spent $28.35 for the week.
I brought my groceries home and went up to Sissies and Husb and she were rolling out cookies. I stayed away because of my drippy nose and worked on a scarf I am knitting for my aunt for her 90th birthday.
The cookies are frosted and gorgeous. I will need to take a picture later today.
WE had dinner plans for the evening to celebrate our little Sisters significant others retirement. It was snowing so heavily that Husb and I were concerned but the sisters were not.
We drove in snow all the time in DC, but there were no hills, and the roads were always salted and plowed. Both sisters have four-wheel drives (this will definitely be our next Car purchase whenever that may be) so we left our Car in the Elks and Kim drove us to dinner.
It is probably one of the best Restaurants in town for Japanese cuisine, but very pricey. We sat at the large hibachi for the show and Husb, Kim and I split one entree and then ordered three sushi rolls.
Sorry but I cook better stir fry, fried rice etc. than what we ate, but the sushi was fantastic. We had a very good time. It was still snowing heavily when we left the restaurant, but both Sisters mastered the roads. We stopped by Dairy Queen and got an ice cream cake (again very pricey but of so good) and took it to lil Sis's across the bridge into Washington. WE had many laughs and then back up to Kim's.
Husb decided to brave the roads, and our car did just fine. I fell into bed and slept like a rock.
Still stuffed up today and drippy but the horrible headache is gone. A sign I am on the mend.
The trees are so beautiful this morning and the roads are clear so that is good. The temperature is really going to drop this next week, so very little melting, but no snow in the long-term forecast.
We are having dinner up at Sissies tonight and I am spending the night up there so I can get an early start on my Valentines cookies. I make pecan short bread hearts dipped in dark chocolate and they are a favorite. However, my pan only holds 12 cookies (I paid a fortune for this pan at Williams Sonoma years ago) so I must make many batches in the oven.
Now that the Husb is up I am going to go have a cup of Coffee with Him and work on the puzzle. WE will listen to Mass on the radio.
Have a blessed Sunday.
Hugs;
Kay
