I really hope I'm ready to go back to work on Thursday. I'm feeling better, but not great and was wondering if I should try to go to work tomorrow. Then a teacher friend texted me that my sub today, a former student, said he'd be happy to take my classes tomorrow. A sign! So I called in. I just finished lesson plans.

Still positive!

I feel better than I did, but still really weak and am still testing positive, so no work tomorrow! I want to go back and have things feel normal...

Off tomorrow

I wish I was going to work tomorrow. I'd rather be at work than still sick. Sigh. I'm so over this!

Sub plans are done and took forever even though they were straightforward. I'm glad I got everything ready for Monday before I left on the Friday before break.

Still sick. Main symptom is weakness. So over it. I doubt I'll be ready for work on Monday. I have 200+ sick days for a reason...

Still sick.

Sitting still it's not that bad, but standing? Not easy or recommended.

Nothing!

I'm doing nothing, exactly as I should. Being sick so isn't recommended!

Uh, happy new year? 😂

Привет and welcome to our new Russian friends from LiveJournal! We are happy to offer you a new home. We will not require identification for you to post or comment. We also do not cooperate with Russian government requests for any information about your account unless they go through a United States court first. (And it hasn't happened in 16 years!)

Importing your journal from ЖЖ may be slow. There are a lot of you, with many posts and comments, and we have to limit how fast we download your information from ЖЖ so they don't block us. Please be patient! We have been watching and fixing errors, and we will go back to doing that after the holiday is over.

I am very sorry that we can't translate the site into Russian or offer support in Russian. We are a much, much smaller company than LiveJournal is, and my high school Russian classes were a very long time ago :) But at least we aren't owned by Sberbank!

С Новым Годом, and welcome home!

EDIT: Большое спасибо всем за помощь друг другу в комментариях! Я ценю каждого, кто предоставляет нашим новым соседям информацию, понятную им без необходимости искать её в Google. :) И спасибо вам за терпение к моему русскому переводу с помощью Google Translate! Прошло уже много-много лет со школьных времен!

Thank you also to everyone who's been giving our new neighbors a warm welcome. I love you all ❤️

Decision!

Since I probably won't get to start my Jane Austen dress this break, I'm doing the straightforward gathered dress that ties in back. If I put my mind to it, I can do it in a week. Hopefully I'll put my mind to it!

Being sick is not how I wanted to end break, but at least I don't have to worry about lesson plans.

ETA they came early. It's covid!

ETA again the next day, since they above is unclear: I had an appointment with Doctoroo, in home urgent care, for 6-8. They came early. I had been throwing up every 20 minutes since the night before. The zofran shot took care of it. Whew!

Sigh

My mom got sick last week. I was hoping I wouldn't catch it. I caught it. I guess I'm going to have to call the eye doctor tomorrow to reschedule my appointment about my cataracts that's on Wednesday. Sigh

Costumer white elephant

I am going to a 12th night tea this weekend with a yankee gift exchange. I was given strick instructions that it is NOT a white elephant and should be good things....My brain rambles so while in the shower tonight and brainstorming what to actually bring I realized the white elephant ideas were SO MUCH BETTER

1. The $25 Joann's gift card I never actually used and my old Joann's apron 

2. A Reconstructing history pattern (I'm sure I have one around here SOMEWHERE)

3. Bum roll stuffed with Ellie Fluff

4. Bag of acrylic yarn I inherited from the grandmother

And this is why I was given strict directions... 

Organizing

I took all the fabric, except for the fabric for the Jane Austen dress, out of the built in linen closet and put it in bags in the spare bathroom. It's sitting there, ready to be organized. This time I'll do it right because I'm doing it slowly and not getting to the over it stage where you just throw everything wherever.

Thinking...

I've been thinking about my Jane Austen dress. That's a kind of progress...

I did nothing today. Ok, I made English muffin bread (basically a quick bread with yeast) and am making matzo ball soup for dinner and went to the store, but other than that, a relaxing day. Tomorrow I'll finish the desk. Probably.

Oops!

I thought the laminate was too easy to paint! I put the second coat on today. Most went fine, but I thought I got a cat hair on the front of the drawer, but it was a lump of paint and the paint peeled off like Tinkerbell nail polish. I wiped it off and repainted a thin layer after trying to sand it. I started sanding it yesterday, but because it's laminate, nothing seemed to happen.

I have two theories. One, the front of the drawer is a more plasticy laminate because it gets used a lot. Two, I closed the drawer so the corner didn't dry and chaos ensued when I rewet it with more paint. On the rest of the desk the paint chips easily, but it doesn't peel. I hope the sealant fixes that. And layers. I may just have a delicate IKEA desk. I'll just get a mat for the top if chaos continues!

I also took a long nap today. It was so nice!

Green!

The desk has one layer of green paint. I'll paint another layer tomorrow. I didn't get the wax top coat yesterday because I wasn't sure I'd need it, but went today to get it. There was only one cat related incident when Sid jumped on the top when it was very wet.

Hopefully I'll finish tomorrow!
