Finished my momster's Mother's Day present. It's just a simple wrap for chilly days. And even though I don't expect her to like it, I hope she does. Cherokee picked out the colors. She says light blue is an elegant color and I agree. I think it's elegant too. Originally light blue was meant to be the color for baby girls because of its softness and pink was for boys because it's a harsher color.
Worked six days in a row this week. I was supposed to have Thursday off, but the new guy that was hired didn't show up. No Call. No Show. If I hadn't gone in, that would of left my department head and coworker to scan the whole store by themselves. Usually there's 4 of us scanning because it's supposed to be done by 6 a.m. when the store opens. But it was just the three of us and we were still scanning after the store opened. I'm not complaining. I'm happy to have the hours. But my feet and ankles are killing me today. I will sleep like a rock tonight.
My head cold is finally starting to go away. I hate to be sick. There's nothing like having body aches while you're going up and down ladders carrying boxes and stuff. But I'm surviving.

The wrap I crocheted for my mother for Mother's Day.

Still working on my momster's Mother's Day present. I'm making good progress despite being very sick with a head cold. I have work tomorrow and I'm going in whether I want to or not. I'm sweating like I've been working out and all I've been doing is sitting here working on my mother's gift and drinking herbal tea. Hopefully this cold will run its course quickly and I'll be my normal grumpy self instead of my extra grumpy self.
It's almost done.

I decided to make my mother something for Mother's Day. She's an impossible to please woman so I'm expecting her to hate it. Plus it came from me and the only things she likes about me are my kids. My daughter picked the yarn color so hopefully she'll at least not bitch about that. But because it came from me, she'll probably never wear it or throw it away. My daughter thinks I'm wasting my time and I should stick to just sending a card. But I haven't crocheted anything in a while and I feel like a little project.
On the weather front here in Utah, it snowed for the last two days. It's the middle of April and we got hit with a cold snap. It had been 72 degrees F the day it started snowing. Then we had a power outage. I used up most of my candles that night so I ran to Walmart to get more. Except Walmart no longer carries emergency candles. I find myself going to Walmart less and less because every time I go in looking for something I need, often something I use regularly, it has been discontinued. The product still exist, Walmart just decided not to sell it any more for what ever reason. I just know they sure didn't consult me before they made their decision.
And I find I have caught a cold, stuffy head, body aches and all. I got up and went to work thinking I work today and tomorrow and I'll have the weekend to rest up and recoop. But I only made it through half the day before needing to bring my sick, tired, achy, sore, exhausted little body home where I promptly passed out on the couch after taking a couple of cold pills.
But I'm drinking tea as I work on my Mother's Day gift for my momster and I'm going to go to bed early and hope I'll make it through the work day okay tomorrow.
God Bless and Warm Wished to Everyone

The start of my mother's gift.
