Running

No, not "running" as in one foot in front of the other!

I'm talking about running out of time.

Or running around like a chicken without a head.

THAT kind of running.

And I suck at both.

And to add insult to injury,

I am sick.

Think it's strep throat since I've never had

a sore throat like this.

Waiting for the office to open

and hopefully I can get in to see the doc.

(Cross fingers, please!)

This "throat stuff" is coming in on the heels

of surgery.

It's just been three weeks and two days

since that happened.

That put me way behind - I think I "lost" about two weeks.

No time for such nonsense.

No time whatsoever.

This is the first year - in a hundred years, maybe -

that no Christmas cards will be leaving our home

to our family and friends.

I really feel badly about that

mainly because it's something that I love to do.

But sometimes,

there's just no way to avoid it

and I refuse to stress myself out.

A couple of days ago,

I really put the peddle to the metal

and got the snowflakes finished.

You may remember I previously made 68.

Then I created 27 for The Runner

to give to the children he transports to/fro school.

Also created a few that I wanted to give

to some special people.

While digging around, I found some left over

from last year.

Only a few - but I'm not complaining.

I blew the cobwebs off

and called it a win!

That allowed me to wrap them up and

give to the girls in the leasing office,

leaving a few for me to give away

as my annual Random Act of Kindness.

Passed out one yesterday to a sweet little girl

and now I have two left.

Am hoping I will find someone at the doctor's office

or at the pharmacy.

It better be in one of those two places

because I'm thinking I wont be going anywhere else

until this crud is gone!

I also wrapped up one of those large Hersey candy bars

for a sweet lady friend of mine.

I love the silver - it reminds me so much of her

and her beautiful silver hair.

I'm off.

Time to shower so that I'm ready to walk out the door

in case the doc can take me early.

Kosec OUT.
