Well, it is hump day! How are we all making through this week? We are halfway to the weekend once again...yes light at the end of the workweek tunnel for those working a M-F job.

This morning, I actually silenced my alarm clock and let myself lay there and go back to sleep. I was still so very tired. Got to bed at midnight, and just wasn't ready to get up a mere 6 hours later.Got up about 6:45 instead. I really needed the rest. Probably would still be asleep, but at 6:45 my daughter called letting me know she was on her way to come out ... so I figured I'd better get my hiney up and at em!I am on the brink of wrapping up the sorting, organizing and packing of the upstairs portion of my house, which is actually like a big master suite, and one side of it is used as my office area Also have my crafting stuff (or did) up here. Should have this wrapped up up stairs in an hour or so today. One of the hardest parts, is determining what I need to leave unpacked, that I may need between now and Saturday when the official move takes place. Thats also the challenge in the kitchen.

I must have had 20 boxes busting at the seams with crafting supplies for all different types of crafting projects I have done over the years, or collected to use later. Candy told me I have so much I'll never even begin to use half of it in my lifetime. But I told her, thats okay, then someone else canuse it later, but If I want to use it, I have it available. (Is this a pack-rat attitude?) lol. They are all very usable items / supplies. I could probably rake it in if I solf half of it at a yard sale. lol. But I like knowing i have what I want, when I am ready to tackle a new project.

You all have a most wondefful day! I will check in here as I can to see how everyone is doing.
Hugs!

I am the same way with my sewing stash.  It takes up space, but when the urge to be creative strikes at 3 in the morning, or in the dead of winter, all I have to do is turn on the light and let the creative juices flow.

I have the first of my training sessions for OH support group leadership training this afternoon.  Next is tomorrow.

I was in the basement sewing till nearly 3 in the morning this morning.  Cut apart a well fitting shirt that I bought to make a pattern and sewed a new long sleeved shirt.  Still need to hem it.  Then I have picked out a couple of more pieces of fleece to make more.  I have discovered that I am chilled, last year this time, hot flashing and sweating at the drop of a hat.  Nice having dry shirts and not hot flashing.

Started the day out with a protein shake while waiting for fritata to bake in the oven.  Getting veggies in Dennis this way.

Work already called to see if I want more hours this afternoon in addition to my night shift, declined at this time, plan to get some exercise sometime, leadership training and want a good nap before work.  Time for me first, then work.  So thrilling to take care of me first.

Everyone else do take care of yourselves first too.  Have a wonderful afternoon.  Hugs, Kathy

Wow it sounds like you ladies have a busy day!  I worked until 9:15 this morning and then went to Curves even though I was exhausted.  I'm glad I went but man, did it wear me out after working all night. I did NOTHING today besides that lol.. I haven't yet been to bed, but I'm eating healthy and getting lots of fluids in. Scale is still holding around the same weight but I an NOT a quitter so I'm upping my liquids and activity.  I even did the soup can work out last night....the one that you posted, Kathy.  It must have done some good cuz my muscles are just a little sore, but in a very good way. 
 
I have lots more  nothing planned for today...the end of my overnights work week was last night/this morning and I'm always dead to the world on Wednesdays .  Hope everyone is having a great day!

Hugs,
