Drat!

So this is my 2nd attempt at a blog post. The first attempt was 3 days ago and it had new stash on it, stash that I'm very excited about, and progress on a WIP. It takes my phone a long time to upload a picture so I cancelled that post and will attempt again with 1 picture, my WIP.
This is Beau Leggy in the Desert from Ink Circles. On 32ct tarnish by PTP. I am now stitching his left boot. I will be finished soon because... I've went and caught Covid. I went a whole year and a half being diligent about the masks, the hand sanitizer, everything. I got lazy tbe past 2 months, even went to the 4th of July rodeo almost a week ago. Last Thursday I started having a hot head which I thought was me stressing on something. Another thing is I never get sick and if I do, it's never in summer. I tested positive this morning. I wanted extra stitching time but not this way! I have a fever, not real bad, congestion in throat and nose, coughing and just tired. I still have my senses of taste and smell, and no body aches. The coughing is what gets to me though. It's constant and keeps me from sleeping. My daughter is keeping me in groceries and my job is paying for my time off. As it looks, next Monday is when I can go back to work. It all depends if and when this fever leaves. So keep up your diligence! Covid is not done with us just yet. After I recover, you can bet I will get a vaccination. I want to finish stitching on Beau and get him finished. Then do a swan dive into my WIPs and pick something else to work on. Take care! See you next time!

  4. Prayers ad hugs for you. It is a terrible thing so please take good care of yourself. My oldest friend has it at the moment and is really suffering with her chest, she has had two vaccinations so heaven knows how bad it would be otherwise. Enjoy your extra stitching time. x

  6. I just read this and sure hope you are doing much better. I got the vaccine last winter. I am glad I did it. I was in a high risk category with asthma.
