Cough sneeze sniffle

I have been down with a touch of the flu or a very bad cold or both. I was off work for a week. Normally I'd say -- great, I can stitch. But I was so miserable coughing, sneezing, sniffling with a fever and headache so I did nothing but sleep, cough, sneeze and sniffle. On Saturday, I finally got around to sandwiching and pinning version 1 of Inbal's quilt. I now have version 2 sandwiched on the dining room table but have run out of pins.
Yesterday, I considered walking from work to Fabricland (two blocks) but didn't feel I had the strength for so much activity -- shows how out of it I've been. So, I may just have to quilt version 1 today to free up the pins...

Our poor garden is so neglected. When I got home from work yesterday, I rushed to finally mow the lawn because rain clouds were hovering. It didn't rain. This morning, I went into the backyard to do a little weeding and without much work managed to fill one of those big gardening bags. And it barely made a dent. Some of the garden areas are lovely -- the sweet woodruff has filled in very nicely. The raised brick planter is disintegrating. The raised wooden planter is rotting. From afar, it looks lush. From close up it looks out of control. Especially a lovely green-red variegated perennial which keeps sending shoots all over the place.

I am hoping to make it up to camp this coming weekend and bearing that it mind, I have no plans for today other than to stitch and "veg".
There, I've blogged.
