just a whine about why no sewing

LOL Thanks for the tips Juno. And sorbet is better for you than other stuff too right?? So that makes it guilt free as well. ;)

We do have quite the date planned for this weekend. I'm very hopeful the week will end better than it started. LOL

Kate, I'm so sorry the fibro is kicking up. You think from the stress of being go go GO with the Ziggy Tents and all? I know a friend of mine says her fibro kicks up Hard after she's had a stressful time, just as soon as she relaxes from the ordeal, bam. :(

I'm glad we could make you giggle a bit. That's always a good thing. And I'm always willing to do most anything for a pal..... LOL I'm chuckling over it all now too mostly. But I'm sure not in a hurry to do it all again. HA!! Sharon

Thank you so much, Olwyn Mary. And you're so right. It was good that I had a day without anything else on the agenda. I was really glad it wasn't a day I had something really fun scheduled that I had to give up too. ;)

I have to tell you too... DD was reading over my shoulder earlier. She said "oh Mommy" (she's nearly 18, but when she really Means it, I'm still Mommy.) "You have such supportive and lovely e-pals. I'm so glad they are all there for you. You needed extra support this week."

I did need the support. I'm so thankful to have everyone here. You're all such a marvelous group. :)

The Petco stuff worked really well. Especially the vacuum it up later stuff. (although one of the neighbors thinks I'm a little nuts now. He was driving down the street yesterday. I don't think he could see I had the rug from the French doors out on the front porch. I put it out there when I sprinkled the stuff on and then took the vacuum out on the porch to clean it up. All he saw was me with my bright yellow Dyson getting ready to vacuum the porch!!! LOL The look on his face......) But I will be paying a lot more attention to "odor neutralizing" products in the future, trust me!!

You sure you don't want me to explain how it smells????? lol Thank you for the pat on the back. That is lovely.

I'm glad you're feeling better. Migraines are horrible and a week long one is just too much!!! I hope that thing goes away and stays away!

I'm afraid it won't go away until my fertility does, and although I'm not as young as I used to be, there may still be some 10 years to go at least. I mean, I'm rather content, now that it's over; I've had six week without, so there are good times too.

But why I'm combining this with your reply to Kate (BTW, I'm really sorry to hear you've been so unwell, wanted to mail you privately, but didn't get round to it, you know, avalanche of housework.) is that it seems to follow the pattern you described: A stressful time goes by without any complaint but then, right after the stress is gone, there is a major breakdown.

Nah, second time wouldn't be funny, just stupid.

U. - OK, you just earned the right to describe skunk smell to me. ;-)

I'm not so sure the two are connected. I tend to have flares when the weather changes, or just because... When I feel well, I fit in as much as I can so that when the fibro hits hard, I should be able to relax. Doesn't always work out, but hey! We all get to dream!

Can't wait! I feel the need for a mental gas mask... :D

LOL Thanks. I will tell him that twice would be just stoooopid and he ought not do it again. Poor guy. I really feel bad for him. He was in his own, fenced, yard when it happened. All the gates were closed. The skunk was clearly a tresspasser. And then it had the nerve to do THAT when he just wanted to get close enough to see what it was. Looked like a kitty. Who knew???? lol

OK. Take a big paper grocery sack, then put in about 20 heads of garlic, half of an old rubber tire, a rotten potato, some 3 or 4 week old fish heads, and a dozen or so rotten eggs. Now douse the whole thing with kerosene and light it on fire.

That ought to come close. The nose just sort of shorts out after a while because you can't possibly sort out all the horrible in the smell. Usually you get a whiff of something "off" and you can figure out what it is. Skunk is just such an evil blend of stench you can't really say it smells like any one thing.

Now I have to decide if I want to get one of the live traps from the animal shelter or not. (in case the skunk comes back. thought I could put one outside the fence, still in my yard, back by the garden.) The animal control folks will come pick it up once it's trapped.

BUT!!! There are only animal control officers on duty from 7 AM till 6 PM Monday through Friday. Skunks are nocturnal. And what if it doesn't show up in the trap till Friday night? Leave it till Monday morning??? This bears some thinking on.

But I don't think that's even close. Really about the most toxic-smelling thing I have ever encountered. It's very distinctive, and once you have smelled skunk you would never mistake that particular smell for anything else.

I really sympathize with Sharon and Charlie!
