LONG TIME NO SEE

                                                    Hello, Hello everyone...
I am finally feeling well enough to do a little hand stitching on my 
well-loved Pomegranates in The Rain............

                       See, I got another rainy block done...

it took me about one and one-half weeks of sporadic stitching and
many in-between naps....;ooo

I have been MIA with both family issues and my own bout with sinus and ear infections and just feeling totally crummy....not so sure it wasn't that flu bug that started it all off...I felt like a mack truck slammed into me....and I had gotten the flu shot, too...and it has left me  still coughing up a storm; 
But, I am beginning to  feel human once again ;)))

Lack of any energy has kept me just doing the necessary things around here 
and driving hubster to and from hospital for more testing...
*****************************************

Today I am making my own brand of "medicine"--;)))
                                      Chicken soup--
                             good for the soul on this frigidly cold day..

It should go down a treat tonight....with those little round soup crackers--
                                                 yum.  =))
***************************************************
My design wall is totally blank and my projects, started "way back when"
{lost in the mists of time}, are in my drawer patiently awaiting my interest
to return and my energy....I just cannot seem to get my mojo back.

I did get a gift card to Missouri Star Quilt Co. for Christmas, and 
I picked out some fabrics; I am hoping this will activate my sewing 
desire when they arrive.

 *****************************************************
My daily journal is no more than a listing of all my meds, aches and pains and
hubster's medical issues...hopefully those will be dealt with for the final time in the near future....
And sometimes, "so it goes"....

Hugs to you all
Julierose La Blageuse (stitching slowly-euse)

  1. I am glad you are feeling well enough to do a little stitching. Sorry you have been sick! I lucked out and only got a sinus infection and missed the flu bug. So far anyway! Praying for you and your hubby. 🤗 Hugs!

  3. So glad you're back! Missed you! Hope you feel better. The flu shot was sort of a dud this year. I'm hoping your husband gets all figured out too! Rest and take good care of yourself.

  9. Sounds like you’re on the mend finally, and we’re all glad to hear it! The fact that you’ve got some energy and desire to get back to things is a good sign! Enjoy your soup, but remember to still get plenty of rest! xo

  10. I feel your pain! I was sick with bronchitis for 6 weeks that finally ended this past weekend and the "fog" of misery is lifted. I hope your hubby is feeling better. For some reason I didn't fix chicken soup. Duh. Feel better soon! mary in Az

  11. Oh you've been having a terrible time Julierose... sending healing wishes your way!
    You take care & be kind to yourself... sewing & stitching sure does take a back seat when such illness is present.

  14. So happy you are up and going. My hubby gave me the crud so we have been staying home more, hope we don't get the dread "flu"

  15. You're back! Hurray! We've been sick here, too. Chicken soup should help. (I found that misting the plants helps... it is terribly dry here.) Hope you feel better soon.
    Hugs

  16. I love your quilt. I hope all your health issues are on the mend. I know what it is like trying to function when not at your best. Hugs

  17. So sorry you have been sick. Wow, I afraid to even go for a regular checkup at the doctors for fear of getting the flu. Hope you get all your energy back soon.

  18. omg. Glad you are seeing the other side of that mess. It's frustrating to have no energy except for healing, and to look at sewing or books or whatever and can't do it. I have friends in the same boat, got the shot and still caught this monster. This is the time for books on tape, or netflix. Victoria season 2 started again last night!

  19. I’m so glad you’re on the mend. Chicken soup is good for that. DH and I both got the Mack truck attack last fall, like you, after flu shots. Now other family members are catching it. I hope you feel better. It does take a while to regain energy. Best wishes to your husband.

    Nice to see you've been able to do a little stitching on Pomegranates in the Rain.
