treats and sickness

Yesterday was a busy day at work.  I left in the dark and came home in the dark...It was a long day.  But when I got home I had a couple of treats waiting for me.  I had dinner waiting for me on the table.  Because I worked late Jim made dinner and my sweet DIL made a delicious soup and sent some over for us.  What a treat to come home to...only...there's one little bitty problem.  Jim hasn't been feeling really good for the past week.  So he went to the doctors and found out he has Walking Pneumonia.  I tried telling him not to worry about dinner but would he listen?  Now do you see why I call him Mr Wonderful? 

The other treat that was waiting for me was a package that came in the mail.  I won a drawing over at Niki's and it came.  In the package was a pair of handmade beeswax candles that Niki made and they smell wonderful.  I can't wait to burn them.

 

Also in the drawing Niki gave away a knitted shawl.  I am wearing it as I'm typing this.  It's so soft and cuddly.  I just love it Niki and I will think of you every time I wear it.

I got to share my breakfast with this cutie pie this morning.  Her mom had to bring her brother to the doctors because he hasn't been feeling well himself.  The kids doctor has a walk-in-clinic before office hours which is really nice.  I wish they had that when my kids were small.  I hope he doesn't have the same thing as his grandpa does.

What a wonderful way to spend my morning.  I hope you are all well and healthy and are not dealing with any sickness.

You all have a wonderful weekend.

Judy: where do you work and what is your job??? how much do you work? is it close to home or do you have a drive to get there???

[Judy]

Hi Diane,
I work 2-2 1/2 days a week for a copy service that is contracted by a local hospital to release medical information. My drive can be anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour...Depending on how traffic is. You have to realize that the state of Illinois can only do road work one way...And that is, they have to do work on all the North-South roads at the same time. So all the major State roads that run from Chicago to Milwaukee are under construction. Go figure! So, to avoid the major back ups that occur, I take the back roads along with the million other guys heading to work and that takes much longer. But, at least I'm moving and not sitting. Last night I worked late to get work done because yesterday was kind of a weird day there. But now with the time changing I will be going to work and coming home in the dark for sure.

Thanks so much for baby-sitting!

She was excited because it's usually Wyatt getting dropped off at your house, and her going to the doctors/therapy!

Wow, Jim does sound like Mr. Wonderful! Hope he is on the mend and will soon feel better. And what a sweet DIL! Isn't it great to be loved!!
