Blabbity ...

There's nothing worse than being in the middle of a project and running out of part of the supplies needed to finish. Exactly what happened to me today when I was working on the second batch of Christmas cards. I got about halfway through and ran out of those little pop-up dot thingies -- you know, the ones you use to stick things together and give them a sort of 3D look? (Yes, I do realize that sentence is rather ... well, shall we say "unwieldy"? It's so much kinder than pretty much anything else we could say about it.)

Good news is that I managed to run out to Michael's and get what I needed. So I finished the cards up. I still need to do the envelopes, but I got about half of those done tonight. Hopefully, the envelopes won't take as long. It feels odd being this far ahead of the game. It's such an unusual thing for me. Although I probably shouldn't think about it all that much ... And I definitely shouldn't congratulate myself on my extreme awesomeness. That's just asking for trouble. o_o

Started my second round of meds. And am struggling with bouts of dizziness. I hate that. It's such a weird feeling. But weird in a bad way. Not a good way.

Made stew tonight. It was a new recipe, but it turned out pretty much OK. Well, I thought it was good. I don't think hubby liked it. He's decided he's either got allergies or is sick, so he felt the dinner was "too heavy". (That sound you heard was me rolling my eyes at the memory, by the way. You know, just in case you were wondering. Because, like, how the FRAK am I supposed to know he's going to decide he's sick by the time he comes home? He was fine when he left this morning. Bleh.) Men. Whatever. >.O

The little rubber footie thing just came off my keyboard. Now the keyboard is wobbly. Well, crap. -.-

Aw - good for you for making your cards!

You might want to report any side effects (dizziness) even expected ones to your doctor.

Mm, stew.

Thanks for the card cheers. Hee! I felt really accomplished when I finished them. I made 60 total, and am hoping it will be enough. If not, I'll have to sit down and make another round. >.O

I did tell my doc about the side effects. She didn't seem all that concerned about it, so I told myself not to stress over it, either. (Although I still do, a little. This is me I'm talking about. LOLz)

Yay! Stew! =D

I am so jealous of how ahead of the game you are with your cards!!! I haven't even figured out yet what to put on mine.

I agree that you should tell our doctor about the dizziness. It could be dangerous if it happens to you while you're driving.

Awww. I would always be grateful if someone made me homemade stew. That sounds wonderful. You should have told him stew is good for sick people, it's full of vitamins, heh. Or packed it up for his lunch and made him have a peanut butter sandwich for dinner.

Well, let's hope I stay ahead of the game on the cards. I might end up not, if I have to make additional ones. So far, I've done 60; hopefully that's enough.

I take the meds at night, after I'm in for the day. There's no way I would chance trying to drive right after taking them, and the effects seem to wear off within a few hours. I talked to my doc about it, and she didn't seem too concerned. So I guess I'll just have to put up with it, although it's super annoying. o_o

Thanks for the stew luv! I think I was just so offended because it wasn't easy to make. I mean, it's not a super hard recipe or anything, but it took a long time. *sigh*

Heh. Your computer will soon be like mine, which is being held up by an old wood/rubber stamp. ^_^;
