The Dude had the stomach bug Thursday night, puked all night, and bounced back by Friday afternoon. I had the stomach bug yesterday, puked once, slept for 13 hours, and am barely moving today. I want to be a six-year-old.
But Christmas doesn't care about stomach bugs, so I had to keep working today.
I used my 15 minutes each day to prep the binding for Rudolph and the Grinch. By Sunday it was ready to go and I started alternating 15 minutes of binding with 15 minutes of present wrapping - a good way to do two hated tasks.
Plus it's really nice to have the binding all neatly wound up while sewing it!

ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better tomorrow! You sure got alot done, considering!
ReplyDeleteOh to be 6 again and recovery so quickly. Hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of switching off between wrapping and binding. I may use that today to finish up my holiday stuff.
Even with your downtime, sounds like you made progress on a number of fronts.
