Wake Me on Monday

Has it really been more than a week since my last post? Here's what's been shaking. First, the trip north to Hayward-Cable, Wisconsin for the American Birkebeiner race. GHIW races and I volunteer to work at the registration/problem desk the day before the race. See pictures and read more about the event on my home page. We returned Sunday night to find the final architectural drawings for our kitchen and back of house remodeling job awaiting our approval. This is really going to happen! We are busy preparing ourselves mentally for the disruption and deconstruction that is about to descend on us. After struggling through aerobic and weight-lifting classes early in the week, a latent flu bug finally emerged on Wednesday forcing me to apply the brakes to my normal schedule. Yesterday, I completely gave in and crawled into my sickroom bed late in the afternoon. Too weak to knit (imagine!) I could only manage to toggle the TV remote back and forth between "Extreme Makeover" and "This Old House." I drifted off to sleep dreaming about a fireplace that gets a nose job and a kitchen that gets upgraded with 220 wiring and a tummy-tuck. Stay well, everyone. Zzzzzzzzz . . .
