Woohoo! He has good taste in snacks too.<br /><br />I hope you are feeling better too and that your mental health day was beneficial. We need to care for our mental health as well as our physical health. May your days forth be less challenging and more 'regular' or should I wish you 'basic' days? hehehe <br />Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-6146096406135296492019-03-01T20:18:54.454-05:002019-03-01T20:18:54.454-05:00Glad you took some time for self care.

I think we all need a mental health day once and awhile and it is so important to realise when we are overwhelmed and pushing ourselves. I agree that we as women tend to put others needs ahead of our own and it is so important to take time for ourselves to relax in order to refresh and be able to continue on with our busy days. So glad you had that day, it sounded wonderful.Needles and Woolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313901704976307733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-86400400074202528632019-02-27T03:12:28.522-05:002019-02-27T03:12:28.522-05:00Good for you!

That time is so important! I used to take rainy Wednesdays off. Thankfully my boss was great about it as long as there were no pressing deadlines and things were caught up in the office. I'd rent a bunch of sappy movies (back in the day of Blockbuster & video tapes) and stock up on junk food and spend the rainy Wednesday prone on the couch. I always felt SO much better afterwards (if not a little nauseous from all the chips & cookies LOL) and taking a Wed. off broke the work week up nicely. Anyway... glad you got a break! I'm sure your blanket will be well loved!Jeannie Gray Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491806030465386877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-81474855162091593712019-02-26T10:34:02.680-05:002019-02-26T10:34:02.680-05:00Glad the mental health day helped.

I would love to take a mental health day now and again, but those days turn into health care after I retire, so I try not to. Plus, I do get my summers off, and that makes a difference.<br /><br />The baby blanket is so pretty. Those colors are very sophisticated together. It will make for a beautiful background for many baby pictures.<br /><br />It was funs seeing the baby pictures of LB.

I crush up pills with a sardine, but I've no idea how I'd manage a syringe. Hope the rest of the week goes well for you.

Love the blanket-- I think that most people would like something handmade.<br /><br />I don't work outside the home and my schedule for writing is always a little up in the air...as in I usually do it by the seat of my pants! Still, when there is a day that I don't have to get dressed and look acceptable, I dive into it with joy. Good for you treating yourself. As a mother, you never really do 'punch out', and providing meals everyday is not something you can toss aside. So truly making a point of having a totally different focus on your day is fantastic. <br /><br />Love the photos of Little Buddy way back. He was a as much a cutie as he was then as he is now!<br /><br />Jane Blondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.com
