I had everything ready for the bee this morning but it just didn’t happen. I was awake about 2 AM with a headache and it took me almost an hour to go back to sleep. Around five the crows outside were raising quite a ruckus but when I got up to see what they might be upset about I couldn’t see anything; they were certainly raising and lowering their voices in unison and, had it not been five in the morning, I might have been more impressed. Shortly after they calmed down I heard a loon, which is always a welcome sound no matter what time of day or night. When my alarm went off at seven I wasn’t ready to get up; I lay there for about fifteen minutes and decided I’d get up, have my coffee and I’d probably feel better. The few minutes that I managed to stay up left me feeling even worse so I went back to bed and slept until noon.

I haven’t had a bad headache for awhile but it was likely triggered by allergies. The worst time for me is Spring and, although I don’t see any cottonwoods shedding, I know there is lots of other stuff in the air. There were quite a few women at the Retreat who were fighting allergies; if I get another headache relatively soon I’ll try some allergy pills.

I’ve puttered around this afternoon and accomplished very little. I had a bit of cutting to do for the project I worked on yesterday so I finished a portion of that. I planned to drop a card in the mail this morning but since that didn’t happen I got a few more ready for the mail tomorrow. The show that Pat is presenting on the weekend is already sold out (70 tickets) so I’ll have to make a few extra treats for the Concession. I haven’t even figured out what I’ll make, let alone getting a list together.

Since no cards were done at the bee today I’d better get started on at least one of them now.
