Okay so yeah, it's been a few....maybe ten days since I last updated but really? I have a good excuse. Well, maybe it's not such a good excuse, but it's the truth-I've been sick. Again. Still.

It's week four, count em FOUR, of this cough and I'm tired of it. I can't sleep without the aid of coedine and I've been pretty much living off chai and hotdogs. The G has been bringing home chinese every few days and my folks brought over chicken alfredo but other than that, the variety has been slim pickins around here.

Last night I bought a box of tea bags to make my own chai. Let me tell you-it's not the same. It isn't the same warm creaminess you get at Designer Coffee, not even with vanilla soy milk added to it. I have to figure out the right ratio of sweetener to milk and I have a feeling I'm going to waste most of the box of tea trying to figure it out. I might have to cave and buy some of the Tazo liquid concentrate so that I can have the lovely goodness that is Chai.

I've been sewing again, although I can't seem to really get into the right groove to STAY working on the project. I can't get excited about it-I think I began the quilt just to give me something to work on but now I just don't feel like working on it. I even dug out my crochet stuff the other day so I'd have something to do. Obviously I have too much time on my hands.

My gramma went into assisted living this week. It breaks my heart to think that she cannot take care of herself anymore and every time I start to think about her NOT living at her house, I start to cry. I know I need to call her but there's no such thing as a short phone call when you call her. I want to tell her how much I love her but it seems that just thinking that makes the tears well up in my eyes. I'm just not ready for this.
