Go away yucky germs!

Well, I have had this nasty cold/sorethroat/ yucky stuff for the past few days. It has knocked me for a loop. but I am proud of myself, I actually made myself go to work even though I felt horrible. No one could hear a word I said because I had lost my voice, and as a result of me spreading my germs I bet a bunch of people will have to call out now, but that's their problem! I got in trouble a few weeks ago for calling out sick. So, I made a vow not to ever call out sick and if I go into work throwing up my guts I will not leave! They want me there, I'll go! I'll share my germs, and have half the store called out, but me? I will be there! Basically just venting here that I think my company's policies on calling out a certain number of times within a 6 month period is ludicrous. But, whatever, and moving on...

So, the past few days I have done nothing, but sleep, so no blog reading got done, and no stitching got done either. But today I feel o.k. not completely back to normal, but I am drinking coffee again. (When I am sick I only drink tea, water, or Gatorade)

So, anyway, I have a few hours until I have to head off to work and so I plan on stitching, and trying to catch up a bit with that. I started a small new piece for St. Patty's day. It is the St. Patrick Bear from Liesure Arts 101 Bear personalities. Just something small for the holiday. I am stitching it on 11 count Aida, using three strands of DMC. I have had this horrid piece of 11 count forever and I wanted to use it, and since this is a rather small piece I thought if I used a smaller count aida then the design would appear larger. I hope so. well, I am going to get back to it. It feels good to be back among the living again!
