I bring home a bug,

He brings home a CAT? I woke up Sunday morning not feeling the greatest. Yucky, tired, weak. Of course, my dear husband attributes this to menopause. Why not?
Break a fingernail?
Menopause.
Constipation?
Menopause.
Upset because he screwed up the checkbook?
Menopause.
Tired after a long day at work?
Menopause.
Wanting to scream bad words and stomp my feet if I hear the M word one more time?
Menopause.
I am getting really tired of everything being attributed to the turning of 50. By the way. it was almost two years ago now.
The bug really knocked me down. I missed work yesterday. That does not happen that often. Temperature, aching, and coughing. At one point, I was wanting to be checked for the swine flu. Is that still around? I think I had it.
Last night he shows up with this cat...and feeds it. Anyone else know what that means? I think we have a cat. We HAD a cat when we got married, well Dianna had a cat. Buddy. Buddy was the epitome of nasty cats. He would roam the countryside, he would um, er "fight', for lack of a better word. He would come back, bloody and beaten and he would lay down in MY chair everytime. When Buddy finally was declared missing for good, and I will be honest, several family members rejoiced, although I am not going to mention names, I realized what I missed about Buddy. All of a sudden we were overrun with chipmunks. Buddy must have been taking care of that problem for us. John thinks that the cat he brought home last night is the results of some of Buddy's "fighting". The cat followed him up the driveway just as Buddy used to. He wants a name for the cat...wait, I have the perfect name. Menopause.
We have knitting night again tonight at my house. I thought that I had better have an actual knitting project going. I am out of hats again and just had one of the places that I donated them to last fall tell me that they had kids wearing them all winter and how warm they were and I figured that I better get busy on more. Taking these pics made me realize that I also need to run the sweeper before knitting night also.

Finished these locker hook mug rugs. These are more fun than the big runner and do they ever work up fast. Fun to match the colors on them also.

And finished the runner that I was working on also. This is going into the Christmas bin. Wow, do I have a jump on that. There are two things in it already. I was going to have one for every month, what can I get done before the end of March so that I am caught up?

Back to work today. I can only imagine what a Tuesday morning, when I missed Monday will be like. Crazy!
