Dear blog... it's the cat's fault.


Dear Blog... it's the cat's fault. - When the best of blog intentions go WAY astray. via Funky Junk Interiors


It may nearly be time to write a Dear Diary Blog kinda post. Because, quite honestly, things change by the second around here and you can't mess up a Dear Blog post, right?

Dear Blog,

I told myself, "Yeah, you should start a regular thing on your blog... as in a schedule. Go on, you can do it!"

So I was all smart like and decided this! So proud.

Monday - inspiration day

Check!  Happy dance! NEXT. This should be a snap by the way.


Tues - junk day

Uh... oops. Sidetracked. I got an email that changed my day and nothing to show for it yet. And then the microwave fix it guy came and you might say he found me mildly entertaining as I chatted up junk to him and my goings ons and he just shrugged and went "Uh huh." Add to that the smokin' headache I woke up with. I don't get headaches so is this the flu thing that everyone is getting? No idea. But boy did my head gain weight in the past few hours...


Wed - photo tips... 

Good idea! You get asked that a lot. But... guess we'll have to see how I feel now...


Thurs - blog tips

You use to do these all the time... what happened to you?! Ok, well, we'll have to see... I'm rather behind. Can I blame it on the headache in advance maybe?


Fri - instagram craziness

These are fun and easy! Guess I'll charge my phone up now so it cooperates. And get off the computer to go take pictures. If I get caught up and stuff.


Sat / Sun - Weekend link party

Is it the weekend already? What happened to during the week part?


Ugh.

Once upon a time, when my son was sick, we pulled out Shrek, cuddled on the couch and watched it together. So now whenever he feels a little off, he mentions we should watch Shrek together. Sweetest thing ever.

So I thought of Shrek with my heavy head and blasted schedule. But not only will I not be catching you tonight, uh... ouch. Head, heavy, hi kitty on my chair.... I should turn the furnace off... pillow, soft pillow... cold water would be nice... it's hot in here, I should take off my jacket. Why are my jacket AND shoes on... huh?

Ugh. 

Dear blog... it's the cat's fault. Raincheck?

  5. The crud/flu has been in my household too. Not a functioning time that's for sure. Hope it doesn't last as long as it did here. Thanks for sharing. Speedy recovery. Hugs.

  7. Be kind to yourself just like you would if your sweet boy were sick. Rest, drink plenty of fluids and don't worry. We'll all be right here rooting you on.

  8. Too funny! YES you can blame the cat! I am in awe and will give a bow to those that can accomplish so much during the week. Planning ahead sometimes just makes me feel like a failure when it doesn't get done...so...I don't plan my week out....huh...how bout that! I just know that I had good intentions.
    Girlie...You made me smile this morning...makes me feel normal. :0 Have a super day and hope you are not getting that yuckie flu crap!

  15. Ahhh...I know the feeling well. thank you for putting it all in such a tidy package of wonderful words...think of it as a blog on self care...we all need help with that!

  16. That crazy bug has been cycling through our home for months! It's just the pits. Sure hope you feel better soon. And, totally off topic. . . any chance you are coming to this year's Blogwest media conference here in Edmonton in March? I am taking courage in hand and going alone because it turned out my sister Tamara already had something else booked. It would be nice to see a familiar face there. (Even if it is just 'I read your blog all the time' familiar. ;D)

  21. Sounds like me (only not blog related) for the past four years! Hope you're resting as best as you can (with or without Shrek) and feeling better quickly. Your cat is too darn cute!

  23. Feel better soon, Donna. Sometimes looking after yourself has to come before you can look after anything else. And I'm so behind on emails, chances are you already are better!
    (Your cat looks exactly like my Pickle!)(Have I told you that before?? lol)
