Well, yesterday she was upright at least!
She spent the better part of 40 minutes looking through that viewfinder. I’m thinking she’ll be ready to go to the library today!
And, while she drew, did puzzles, watched too much television/movies and looked through the viewfinder I was able to do the following:
- 2 loads of laundry, folded and put away
- loaded, washed, emptied and loaded the dishwasher
- Made a quart of yogurt
- Started cooking some beans
- made jello
- drew a cat (not a very good one, but a cat nonetheless)
- planned my next knitting project (it might actually come before finishing my sweater). The last pair of these I made are finally too small for Abby. I’m thinking really loud pink and turquoise for this pair.
- cleaned out the refrigerator
- cleaned out 2 cabinets of dry food
- read 4 chapters to Abby of On the Banks of Plum Creek (Little house book)
- cleaned out Abby’s closet
- swept, vacuumed and mopped
- played at least a dozen rounds of Rat a Tat Cat
- inventoried and organized the freezer and the chest freezer too, which totally made want these “Frozen Things to Eat” notepads!
There was more, but I’m spent. Keeping a little one in who is too sick to play, but well enough to have a TON of energy is a lot of work!


Glad she’s on the mend, Carrie! Kariya’s home today with a pretty bad cough. Hopefully, it doesn’t turn into something worse.
Oh, I hope Kariya has a quick one like Abby. She turned it around really quickly. She’ll be 100% by next week for sure.
So Dear daughter of mine,
I can’t imagine why you didn’t wash all the windows- inside and out, power wash the roof, clean out yours and Toms closet, finish knitting your sweater, as well as rake all the neighbors leaves??
What’s up. ?? No wonder you’re spent.
Take a break and read a book Honey…I love you. Abby get well.
