How is everyone doing today???Today for me will be about distraction. What do you do to distract yourself???
I have a mountain of laundry as high as me to do and an anxious dog who will probably want to go for a walk....I already feel overwhelmed.

My family is recovering from the plague...really, why don't people keep there sick kids home so they don't infect the whole school and then their families?

Would rather be at the coast, or off cantering through the woods. Or spooning with my hubby on a blanket in the sun.

Having none of those at my disposal I am eating oreos.
I'm not really a psychopath, I just play one on the internet.

Hey AZ, I know that it's a couple of days late on this but today is going to be a distraction day for me. I have a list as long as my arm of "to do" stuff. Cleaning various things around the house is at the top of the list. I'm trying to force myself to do something. I haven't has the desire or the motivation to do much lately. (((Hugs))) I hope you feel better today.

As far as what I do for a distraction, I usually play with my rabbit or draw for awhile. Otherwise I would go sit at the beach for awhile just to relax but it's not very peaceful right now with all the tourists. Lol

Hey DD, Sorry that you and you're family's been sick. I hope you're all feeling better now. I hate when people send their sick kids to school to infect everyone else. With the flu that's going around really bad right now I'm sure that it''s pretty bad.

I think I'm going to have a snickers.

Also having a "down" day which probably means I should do something like tackle the laundry or do the dusting (which REALLY needs to get done), but like DD, I am also eating Oreos.

All this talk about Oreos is making me crave them too.

Hmm, I think I'm going to have to go buy some. I hope everyone is doing better today. I've been kind of lurking around here too.

Oh, that sounds so dang good!!! (don't know how to do the drool face but wish I did)

I'm officially kicking myself because I went to the store and I forgot to get Oreos!! *sniff sniff*

Well, today I'm starting a new project to try to cheer myself up and get my mind on something else. I'm going to try to knit a gorilla. I hope everyone's doing okay here. The board has been quiet lately but I think most of us are just kind of lurking at the moment. Take care everyone.

Hope you can...My latch-hook lion may take forever, but mostly because i haven't been working on it much...

Weepy day today. Just wonder if i will ever live and not just exist. Lonely and weepy...Don't have any Oreos so will take a little nap to escape instead.
