More Project 365!

It should be illegal to be up this early in the morning. It's 7AM here and I've been up since 6AM - Heath went in early to do some more manager training. Isaac is thankfully still sleeping so the good news is I have some quiet time. He may sleep for an hour longer or more, he's not feeling very good. I think maybe he has some sinuses or allergies, because he doesn't act like he's sick to his stomach - you can just hear he's very nasal and it sounds like his throat hurts. Poor kid! He took two doses of Motrin last night one around 7PM and another around 11PM before we put him to bed and acted like he felt much better after the first dose, after all he was running around like a mad man lol.

It's been a couple days since I posted again and I have more Project 365 photos to share.

January 16 - It was a typical day, which is why I have no exciting picture. I'm starting to find that most of our days are very typical and boring. It was my dad's birthday, so I texted him to wish him a happy birthday. Heath spent the better part of the entire day over at Josh's house washing some laundry. He was there from about 10AM to after 5PM - Isaac went with him and he played Mario Kart for about 3 hours Heath said lol, then he wanted to watch the Karate Kid. I, however, stayed home to set a new product up in the store - which took FOREVER, because it's a large product with multiple pieces. Then I did some things I'd been needing to do for a long time related to my designing. By the time Heath got home I was practically screaming save me lol.



January 17 - Another typical day, in fact very boring. Heath and I took a quick trip to the store and were back by 11AM. He threw supper in the crock pot and then cleaned the house for me, I worked on some more designing, as if I hadn't had enough the day before lol. I get most of my good work done on the weekends now that Heath is home, because Isaac pretty much dotes on his dad on the weekends. I spend way too much time on my designing and too little time on my house, but my career is really starting to take off and there's so much work that goes into it behind the scenes - advertising, taking part in charity work - like the charity kit that will go on sale in February for Haiti relief that I just finished my portion for, a portion or all of the proceeds will go to Haiti to relief and rescue efforts. That stuff takes so much work and it's such boring work that I hate to do it, I'd much rather be creating stuff. That night after we ate supper, I got pretty sick. I threw up all my supper and felt very achy in my back. I still didn't feel good after a 30-minute nap so we went ahead and went to bed.



January 18 - Still sick. I spent all morning in the position you see in the photo - laying on the couch, with 2 pillows propped up and a blanket, with my computer on my lap. I couldn't do any designing, since my program on my laptop isn't working, and I didn't feel like it to begin with, so I spent all day surfing the web. I'd spent 11PM-4AM sleeping very restlessly, tossing and turning and waking up in intervals because of my sick stomach. At 4AM I threw up again and after that I felt a lot better and slept better, but I still wasn't up to par. Heath brought me some soup and after I ate I seemed to feel much better so I got up to start working on some more stuff. My friend Tiffany and I decided to start a collab kit that we will use to prepare for our upcoming spot in something called the Amazing Digi-Scrap Race - you pair up with a partner and you and your partner complete 2 challenges a week, for a total of 4 layouts a week, racing from store to store in order for a chance to win a grand prize. A lot of people take part and I don't have a clue as to what the prize is, but it's apparently a lot of fun. I'll tell more about that later since I don't know a lot of details yet. That night we went to get groceries and brought home KFC - I didn't eat very well since I was still a little sick to my stomach, and we went to bed kind of early.



January 19 - I woke up feeling much better but like I said, Isaac didn't. The weather is just so sluggish that we feel like doing nothing but staying indoors. This is what we woke up to yesterday morning - frost on the trees and a little bit of snow. You can see it a little on our roof, but the wind was blowing so it's all gone now. I haven't looked outside this morning to see whether the trees are still frosted over but I'm sure they're not. I felt much better so I got around at about 10AM to do a little cleaning. After I cleaned up I felt even better - I think I could have cleaned up on Monday but I was afraid to even get up and do anything too strenuous because I didn't want to get sick again. I think just getting up and doing something and making my house look better improved my mood which improved my health. I don't know, that's just a theory lol. I finished up my portion for the Haiti project and worked on part of the kit that Tiffany and I are doing. That night I had to do some little extras to prepare for the $1 sale that's going on at my store today. That wiped me out, along with keeping Isaac up until 11 so he could take another dose of medicine, so we put him to bed and then we went to bed.

Today will probably be much the same - I have some more advertising to do then depending upon what I feel like doing I'll either work some more or pick up the rest of the house. Picking up shouldn't take long, maybe about an hour. I cleaned out the litterbox yesterday so Heath gets to do the dishes and clean the tub, that was the deal lol, but sometimes I just get impatient and restless and end up doing stuff myself. I'll be back sometime this weekend (hopefully) to post more pictures and soon I'll have time to catch up on my layouts. I have the pictures at least so I'm doing a good job there.
