Sad Sack


 Last week I had made lots of critters and backgrounds as samples to send off to Daughter so her friend could pick what she wanted for her baby shower invitations. Daughter never got them. The big envelope full of all my hard work is apparently lost in the mail. Grrrr......yesterday, in spite of waking up with a very bad back issue I had to painfully sit and redo all the work I had already done.



While I was working I noticed one of my outdoor kitties staring at me from the door so I hobbled down the stairs to give her some treats on the front porch only to somehow manage to get stung on my arm by a yellow jacket in the process.


It really hurt for a long time and I had so much work that needed to be done.  I had also been in the middle of wrapping another batch of soap. I was not happy.



Instead of doing all the things I had planned, I spent the day feeling very sorry for myself and self medicating myself to within an inch of my life. What I really needed was a big bag of potato chips. Good thing I didn't have any. Today has got to be a better day.

    Oh dear! I am wishing you a better day.
    So sorry about the mail and the sting. With all the computerization, you'd think the post office could track simple packages.

    Ouch! I haven't had a bite like that since I was a kid, but the memory of it is very clear!!!
    Hope you feel better soon.

    I hope you're feeling better today and that the package is discovered and delivered.

    Sending wishes for a much better day! Another reason to love fall - the insects start to disappear. Obviously, I am eagerly awaiting fall.

    I am so sorry about your back and the bees sting. But I am glad you are out of the path of that storm. Those poor people whose homes are destroyed by all that water. Stay safe.

    Good Grief! If it's not one thing it's another. About the time you redo it all they'll probably "find" it. Geez, hope you're having a better day today!

    How frustrating that the samples were lost! Thankful that you are relatively all right in light of the sting - they can be so painful!

    Sometimes it is the little things that just keep chipping away at you....
    Hope you start the week better in every way!
