Today began with my waking and my Husband, already awake,
telling me that our guests for tomorrow's dinner had to cancel
due to illness.
And just like that I had a free day to do other things,
than de-cluttering the house, preparing food and setting the table for a
dinner party tomorrow.
***
Not that I would have minded, anyone who has read my blog
for a while knows how much I love decorating the table for a
dinner party and I already knew what dishes I had planned to use!
However, in light of the change,
I had a leisurely breakfast,
and then cleaned up a bit and then got out
sewing boxes and socks that needed darning as well
as eye masks that I find so comfortable but that
eventually split at the outside seams, with foam thus
exposed and I find them unusable in that state.
And I got out the Wind in the Willows CDs that I got
from my NYC library!
We had a simple lunch of spinach salad and chicken burgers,
with a small bowl of ice cream for dessert!
And my socks got heels mended, with
the egg darning socks being used to great effect
and I pinned and sewed shut the outside seams of the
eye mask; does look funny, doesn't it?
They are so effective though and I am so happy to have them fixed!
Vespers and then a quick trip up a few blocks to our upscale grocer
and I got the above sandwich for dinner,
raisin walnut chicken salad with red grapes.
Delicious!
I have 2 sleeping masks to fix, so I listened to a bit more
of the Wind in the Willows as I worked on it again a bit tonight.
I hope to resume work on this on Monday!

I am so thankful I was feeling better today.
That flu shot was a pain for sure;
I hope, at least, that I don't get the flu this year!

May God bless and help each of us.....

That chicken salad sandwich looks mouth wateringly delicious! I just remembered I haven't had supper yet. Leftover baked chicken and potatoes. LOVE Wind in the Willows! :)
So the masks are worn to enable you to sleep ( keeping out the light?) I thought maybe they were to soothe your eyes. I have a Bruder mask that I use when my eyes hurt too much but I must admit I'm often too impatient to sit with it on for 10 or 15 minutes that I should.
Thanks Lisa!!!
Granny Marigold: yes, these type of sleeping masks are to keep out light! I find them comfortable (some masks are too tight and can't be adjusted, as opposed to these that are fully adjustable). I did not know about the Bruder mask - do your eyes hurt because of dryness?
