Thank goodness for the weekend.

The weekend looks to be a nice one here. We're supposed to have some mild weather with the possibility of some rain. I hope that if we do have rain, it's some of those soothing showers and not some frantic thunderstorm. I completely hate this time of year whenever we begin to get storms. We don't live in the middle of Tornado Alley but we do have a severe threat through the summer. To be honest, I breathe a huge sigh of relief whenever the seasons turn to Fall. If the weather stays stable over the weekend as I hope, then I'll be able to get a few things done that I've been putting off due to lack of energy or mobility. It would be so awesome to be able to swish through the house and clean from corner to corner of each room. That's a dream that I haven't been able to achieve on my own in a very long time. But today, I'll be happy to have one room in the house completely cleaned and then I can move on from there.

To be honest, I haven't been doing as much as I had last week. When the weather fronts begin to come through my area, my joints seize up and my upper back and neck area feels as though it turns to stone. Even if I have the energy to do anything, I may not have the ability so I do try to take advantage of the moments when I do have both. Those moments sometimes come in the middle of the night. But every little bit helps. In the past week, I have still been working on my many projects. I have managed to finish three books and post the reviews on the other blog. Finally, I began crocheting the hats to match the scarves that I finished last week. One down, three to go. Actually, I am about halfway done with the second one. Even though I haven't been able to revise my novel too much last week, I did do some writing on a couple of new stories.

For now, I feel a nap is in order. I have to catch up on my sleep while the hubby's around. My poor little furkid is having trouble with dry skin, especially around his ears. We've tried soothing shampoos, ointments and making sure his ears stay clean, but with the hot/cold/hot/cold that the weather's been through, it's been difficult to keep him from scratching himself to death. That and he's a night owl just like me anyway. Always wants to play at 2 or 3 am instead of catching up on sleep.

Whatever you find yourself doing this weekend, I hope you have great weather and a wonderful time.
Until next time,
Kay
