I am almost ready for Christmas. It's hard to believe because I've been sick for the past month with some sort of cold thing that zaps all my energy and makes me cough constantly. But with Phil's help I am almost ready for Christmas. He brought all the Christmas boxes up from the basement and set them in the dining room and I slowly unpacked them, put the tree up one day, decorated it the next, decorated the house a little at a time over the past week. Slowly picked up stuff that had been cluttering the place and got everything ready for Phil to come through on Saturday with the Dyson and suck two cannisters (!) of dirt and Pandy hair up. Dusted feathers from my feather comforter (bought at half price but not quite the deal I thought it was since the feathers leaked through the duvet case) off all the furniture. I baked stuff for a little party we had Saturday evening, I felt good, it was nice to be up and doing stuff. Then when our company was here and we were sitting around singing---I couldn't help myself---I sang with my raspy voice and Saturday night I paid for my singing by coughing all night long. Today I am feeling better, I have mounds of laundry to do today, I paid my bills, tomorrow if I can reschedule a Cook of the Week interview Phil and I will go shopping in Ankenny, Wednesday I will clean and make beds up for the girls, wrap the gifts we buy on Tuesday, Thursday I will go shopping and bake and bake and bake. The girls start arriving Thursday night!!!! I believe I will be ready, I hope I hold up.
