Jet Lagging

After 2 whirlwind months, coming home instantly messed with my immune system.

Between my relatives’ cats, dogs and horses, I had regularly taken Benadryl, but it didn’t keep the sniffles and sneezes away.

Add to that the airplane air and I was felled the weekend I came home to dreary skies.

I reintegrated with a hearty breakfast at the Lucky Platter, right at their opening time.

Then I got my go-to “Nature’s Flu Shot” ingredients and juiced and rested the bulk of the weekend.

I did the laundry right away, but still need to put away the suitcase and organize my clothes. Instead I colored a bit until my brain could process life again.

My toilet was runny too so I had to look up how to fix it and then replace a toilet flapper.

Since I had to go out to Home Depot, I also swung by Michaels.

I put my art fair displays away that I had just dumped after RAW and Girls Nite Out.

How cute is this (on sale) rainbow drawer set that allows me to color-code my scraps instead of digging through a shoebox?

The cleanup had me revisiting old project ideas and I tossed out old sheets for which I now have better paper.

Dave’s Rock Shop has an assortment of triangle beads I want to fiddle with.

I also did a visual inventory of my ornaments and made a stash of Christmas papers.

My sister got me some goodies to incorporate into my holiday ornaments.

I picked up skull napkins in Germany.

Now I am making some additions to the Halloween Collection.

Then it’s incorporating beads I picked up at Perlenspiel to my angel ideas.

I shopped that store in Wiesbaden when I was a teen, and was thrilled to have my aunt take me back there on my visit.

Contact me if you want a trick or treat pendant—my online shop will lag a bit since the rainy weather doesn’t lend itself to photoshoots.
