Greetings from the land of congestion and coughing. But, thank goodness, I slept straight through the night last night. I had to sleep propped up on my pillows, but I’m okay with that, believe me. As with all of these things, it just takes time and rest and patience. I’m not so good with the patience, but in the end, I have no choice.

Yesterday – rather, the night before – I notice some electrical problems in the downstairs bathroom that made me nervous. Luckily, our neighbor, who is an electrician and, in fact, did all the electric work in this house when it was flipped, was able to find some time for us. He came over around mid-day and replaced a faulty switch and some outlets and then replaced an outlet in the upstairs bathroom, as well. After running outside and down the stairs to the basement (where the electric panel is) several times and also running up and down the stairs to the upstairs bathroom, I was too exhausted to do much of anything. So, no errands, no groceries, no tax stuff. Well, I started the tax stuff but then I was pulled away to attend to the electrics. I was coughing a lot as well, so I threw in the towel and rested for the remainder of the day.

Friends: don’t worry about me. I will reiterate that I have sinus and/or allergy problems most every day of my life, so when I get a cold, it hits me especially hard. I know what to do. I’m fine. I’m just ready for this to be over.

This came in the mail yesterday:

Another creation, Begging Billie Bunny, from Vintage by Crystal via her Easter blog sale. I can’t resist these old-fashioned and whimsical creations. She does such exquisite work. I don’t know if you remember them but these are the other Vintage by Crystal creations in my collection:

She tends to do holiday blog sales, but she also has an Etsy shop. I wrote the date of the sale on my calendar but I promptly forgot about it. When I saw her post on IG a couple of hours later, I hightailed it to the blog. Luckily, I got in there just in time. She has a lot of fans!

I love her sense of whimsy. As you know, my friends, I’m all about whimsy!

The fabric eggs in the vintage Necco Candy Jar were made by me many years ago.

I’m going to watch coverage of the March for Our Lives today. If you’re marching, bless you! I’m with you in spirit.

Gun Control Now.

Happy Saturday.

Still feeling crappy. Head congestion and chest congestion. But I’ve been sleeping a lot and, after my sleep-deprived week, it’s most welcome. I made it out to the grocery store yesterday where I promptly ran into someone I knew and had to refrain from hugging him. I kept a distance of about 4 feet between us, which, I’m sure, he appreciated.

Don has a day off and he just told me he might go to the Museum of Natural History. Sounds like a good plan. The added bonus is that it’s close to Central Park, so he can go there as well on this sunny day. (Three in a row!)

I never know the answer to this question. When is Easter? Looking at my little bunny egg cozies brought that to mind this morning. Gosh, I love these two. Mother and son, always holding hands – now, isn’t that sweet?

Not much on my agenda today, of course, as I’m housebound. I’m just going to take it easy.

I’ve been hearing the call of our mourning doves since I got up at 6:30. Heavenly music to yours truly.

Happy Monday.
