Illness has going through our house like a tornado through a trailer park. I was able to sit up and sew for a while this morning, the first in about five days. The two little boys were home from school yesterday, but only Sammy this morning. I saw a sight I thought I would never see:

Gramps playing video games with Sammy. Gramps yet. Gramps has always been so anti video games he swore he would never consider playing one and for a long time would never allow one in our house. It just goes to show that he is like melted butter in his Grandson's hands.

I did try to sit at the sewing machine and I worked a little on my bags of UFOs.

Barbie doll clothes don't take very long to sew but even then I could only do about one garment a day before having to go back to bed. The hand sewing is yet to be done on some of them.

Not really exciting but at least it's something.

So I would sit up and sew a few hexagons and then have to lay back down, I think mine was exacerbated by going cold turkey off coffee. I had such severe headaches that I had to take Excedrin, something I am not supposed to do and then I realized that Excedrin has caffeine so I might just as well have a cup of coffee. That may sound like rationalization but a cup of coffee made all the difference to my headache. I didn't have any problem stopping drinking, but the headaches were terrible, I was a lot more addicted than I thought. I still plan on going off it altogether only maybe a little slower.

I was able to quilt for about an hour and half today, thank heaven, I am on the mend!
