Wasted day

       Today was a wasted day for me in more ways than I can count. I was up all night with this frigging cough again and went into try to get some sleep at about 7AM. The phone woke me at 9 and again at 11 with gd sales messages but I was able to get back to sleep and than the next thing I know the phone rings and I look at the clock and its almost 2:30. I hadn't planned to sleep that late and the day just stayed that way I made my way into the couch with intentions of checking my email and my etsy page and then getting some housework done before getting some crafty stuff done. Well neither of those things happened instead I ended up flubbing around on the computer for well over an hour and then started to go through four boxes of old Workbasket magazines looking for some inspiration of what my next project for my shop should be and that took me the next four hours. So by now it was into the evening and I just couldn't get myself to get up and do anything.
      I found about five or six patterns that I want to try from the old workbaskets, when I say old I'm talking 1963-1974, boy did we wear some bad clothes back then and don't get me going on the hair!!!! I made one flower and tomorrow I'm going to make a few more of the same one along with some tatted flowers, finally a way to use some of Grams crochet cotton that I've inherited. I think I'll make like a dozen of one style and color and offer them for sale at a rate for the whole dozen and see how they go. I should be able to get a dozen done in about an hour to an hour and a half once I get the pattern down so it will be a profitable endeavour at least. I like it when I can do a bunch of something like flowers that are fast and inexspensive to make so that I can then take some time to do some more complex items that take a while to get done.
      I'm going to relist some of my items in my shop tomorrow and list a new one. Also I need to do some housework, the dish fairies are on stike, even though I can think of at least a hundred things I would rather do but it as to get done.
      Haven't been doing to good with my diet and exercise as of late. I gave in last Teusday and got Ben & Jerrys when we went shopping and the rest of the week was sort of a yoyo of what I ate. Wensday I was good and had just a normal dish of food for dinner and didn't snack during the night and Thursday was pretty good but Friday and over the weekend I totally blew it. I had Bruce get me a Big Mac & a caramel frappe on friday, saturday and sunday and he just brought me a caramel frappe when he came home from playing pool tonight. I haven't exercised either as I just haven't felt motivated enough to do it. So I'm going to get serious about it starting in the morning. No more McDonalds or Ben& Jerrys!!! It's getting warmer outside so I'm going to start taking the dog for a walk around the block at least once a day maybe more and also start doing some weight training for my upper body. I  hope that knowing that other people are reading this and following my progress that it will help me to keep at it and not make excuses.
     I'm going to do some figuring out here on this blog site how to add a link to my etsy shop and some other things in the next few days but right now I'm going to take some nyquil and hopefully get some sleep so that I can get up and do the things that I've posted in here done tomorrow.
    Godnight & Goddess Bless
