That was some Chinese dinner we had last night............

I have no idea what was going on in cyberspace - perhaps an asteroid field was breaking up just as I logged on - but needless to say before it was all said and done I somehow managed to transpose my Jacobs Academy template over here to this one and by the time I recognized I'd gone Hybrid - it was way past my bed time.

First thing this morning, (despite my being awakened every two hours by either dh's "breathing" or the cats playing on the back porch) I awoke to our youngest son on the couch looking pale with a stomach ache and my feet, hands and face were way, way swollen and puffy.

Great.

I obviously over-indulged in too much Chinese and it was beginning to look like our son had, too.

I took a water pill, fixed my ailing son some hot apple cidar, made my coffee, made the rounds of opening shutters to discover gray skies and soft rain this Saturday and then decided to welcome the day on the back porch with the kitties.

The water pill had kicked in already - I should be deflated and back to normal by noon at least.

Our oldest son joined me on the back porch with his coffee and then we heard a strange noise but couldn't quite say where it came from.  Then we heard the Dad yelling for help.

The end result was that our ailing son had thrown up from the couch to the bathroom.  Despite my water pill now in full effect, I had to get him settled, clean carpet and then get into laundry mode as well.

Needless to say, my coffee was no longer very appealing and the morning was gone.  With everyone regrouped I sought a little refuge here on the computer.

Refuge?

Not hardly.

Template nightmares had just begun and before I was through I had logged on too many times and now had templates all switched and applied in the wrong places........

I had to walk away from the "Dell" before I threw it out the window.  Finally, true refuge came from, where else?  The toilet closet.

Yep.

I regrouped in there and came out a new and determined woman.

In summary, I have no idea if it was the Chinese or the atmospheric conditions that led to these events.  But I can honestly tell you, it pays to save your template codes!

I am finally restored and going to take leave of this contraption for the remainder of this weekend!

Have a great one!
