I’m feeling more human today after being so sick.  Being sick, by the way, will most certainly make one appreciate wellness.

I had a doctor’s appointment this morning and am now on an antibiotic for tonsillitis.  I probably had the flu or a flu-like syndrome as well.  So there you go.  It’s going around.  I dutifully wore a surgical mask so as not to expose anyone to any of my exhaled droplets of any kind.  Too much info…?  Oh, and I did lose 3-4 pounds.  I’ll take the 3-4 pounds, however, over feeling that bad. 

While waiting for my prescription, I walked into Goodwill and found a treasure trove.  A beautiful piece of material for 1.29 to make my princess of the universe another tiered skirt.   A pair of stretchy yoga-type pants for my wearing around the house, and a modestly-long pair of shorts for — again — the princess of the universe, and believe it or not they have no words printed on the back side of them.  (Am I the only one tired of seeing words on the behinds of young girls’ pants and shorts?)  I found a new Franklin Covey organizer with all the pages intact.

It was most thrilling to find three pink English ironstone bowls for 49 cents each.  You can see the pretty paisley fabric underneath.  It’ll make such a cute skirt!

Look at the detail on this Made in US transformer or transformer cover or whatever it is.  I’ll have to ask dear husband of mine.  He’ll know.  And I should know.  What I do know is that this calls for a homeschool science lesson.  Yes ma’am.

I was especially happy to find this perfect-size-for-a-bible-bag, uhhhh, bible bag, since the handle recently broke off of my old one.  It has places for pens and notes and cough drops and other various and sundry things and it is real leather, made in India.  Very soft and nice.  Should last me as long as the last leather, thrifted bible bag did: for years.

I found a couple of nice, big coffee mugs (tea mugs), an educational VHS about Christopher Columbus, a Hardy Boys book, and a new children’s book to make a felt set to go with to sell on line.

I suppose last but not least is the beautifully springy pink dress that still has the dry cleaning tags hanging on it.  I think it will do nicely with a soft pink T-shirt under it — or without.

Thanks again to my well wishers.  I am still hoping for takers on Share Your Most Favorite Thing !!!

Happy St. Patty’s Day,

Lynn
