You did a really nice job, I think the faces are so pretty. I had a topsy-turvy doll when I was little. She was awake on one face and had a pink checkered dress, and asleep on the other with a flannel nightgown.

Yay! I fixed my vacuum cleaner all by myself! It lost its suction, so I looked in the hose, cleaned the rollers, examined the belt and bag, but could find no problem. I was afraid there was a problem with the motor until I stuck my fingers into the area where the hose empties into the bag. Felt a clog. After fiddling with the vacuum for a while, I managed to disconnect the hose completely (never done that before) and empty a huge hair clog, then reassemble the vacuum successfully and make it work!
Saved myself a trip to the repair shop!

I'm doing an inventory of our jewelry supplies for the business this weekend and it's going to drive me crazy. I think I'm going to end up dreaming about beads.

Same. Plus, I've made about 30 pairs of earrings and 8 necklaces in the past three days. I'm going mad with not being able to work. I'm dreaming in chain...

Ok, this is quite annoying. I'm managed to twink my back. Not from carrying the 60lb dog down stairs several times a day, not from pulling her kennel lid off, not from helping her go to the bathroom. Nope, I managed to hurt my back lifting up her 2oz E-collar. Grrr.
Off to bed, so that hopefully it will be better tommorow, to do it all again. (Four and a half weeks left!)

Right now Little Cat and New Dog are cuddled up together asleep on the bed, breathing softly in unison. So cute: Little Cat is marmalade, and New Dog is big and black and white and fluffy with a blue bandanna. I'd get up and get my camera, but the moment I move, I'll have a canine shadow.
Maybe there's hope for the Middle East...

Just wanted to share a photo...I bought my dog a stuffed giraffe toy from the thrift store. He loves it! After playing with it for a little bit, he curled up with it in his paws and went to sleep.

Cervus that is such a cute picture! Pure doggy bliss there.
The last 6 quarts of dill pickles are in the hot water canner to process. I put up a total of 11 quarts today and had made 5 quarts a couple of weeks ago from the pickling cucumbers from our garden. The plants are still going so I'm hoping for anoth 3 or 4 quarts there and then I'll be done with canning pickles. Next step will be turning the pickles from previous years into relish.

All of the above and a bottle of wine.
Okay, screw the pills and take two bottles of wine. Works for me.

Lovely thought, but one is not supposed to drink when one is taking antibiotics, remember?

Last time I mixed alcohol and antibiotics, the voices told me nothing would happen to me.
And nothing did, despite the appearance of the giant purple elephant.

4K, you might want to try Sudafed with your aspirin. If you're prone to sinus-type pain (you have allergies, as I recall...I think) the sinuses swell and press on the tooth nerves. If you take Sudafed, it helps take some of the pressure off.
I had an exposed nerve in an upper tooth about 5 years ago, Sudafed and Excedrin were the only things that helped at all.

Alcohol inhibits the antibiotics. I don't want them inhibited, I want them to work!

I went in on Thursday to get my hair highlighted and ended up working -- at the salon!! I used to work there as the Saturday receptionist and their Thursday receptionist flaked on them and didn't show, so I stayed after my hair until 3 -- the kids get out at 3:30.
So now I'm the Thursday receptionist there, I'll sub at the preschool Mondays, Tuesday and Wednesdays (as needed) and help at the kids' school on Fridays. So much for empty days while the kids are in school!!
But it'll be nice to have some extra money, so I don't feel guilty when I spend money on me.

Well I got my laptop. No more truding across campus to the Mass Media Hall to use a computer. YEAH! Now I can chat with Snopsters again. Now I can play on the boards when I can't sleep. Now I can play GuildWars (Which I already have and its awesome).
Congrats F_F! And to those who are sick here are some healing (((VIBES))) coming your way.

4K, when DH had surgery on his arm they gave him Hydrocodone (AKA 'the good stuff') & they were having him take that and rotate Tylenol & Advil every 3 hours on top of the good stuff. So, while I'm not a Dr, you might try rotating those 2 every 3 hours at least while you're awake. And ask for some 'good stuff' if your Dr will provide it.
