Good afternoon my peeps! I have missed y'all. I have been so sick. I had the flu for a week and that went into a severe sinus infection. This respiratory stuff has even gone through all four of my cats. Sneezing, runny eyes and fever. They have all been to the vet for shots.

I got this from a lady at Aldi. She was coughing in her arm. I even turned around and went down another aisle. I met her two aisles over and she looked at me and coughed on me!!! I looked at her like oh no! Three days later I had a sore throat, coughing, headache and body aches unreal. Anybody that knows me knows I am a super germaphobe. I was even before Covid, but especially since Covid. I don't understand people who don't stay home when they are sick! She has cost me hundreds of dollars in my care and my cats care.

Anyway, I am feeling better finally. Yesterday is the first day that I have cross stitched in about 10 days. So I know I am on the mend. One good thing, I was so nauseated I couldn't eat and I have lost 10 pounds. Going to try and keep that going.

Stay well. Happy stitching!

Good afternoon my peeps! Today is a cooking day at my house. I have made chicken stew and Chocolate Cobbler. It's so good. Great by itself or with vanilla ice cream. I refrigerate and heat a bowl all the time. Still really good. But...how can chocolate be bad? I don't understand people who don't like chocolate or cats...lol. Chased a squirrel there.

I just pour a little oil in my pan to grease it, instead of adding it in the batter. Works great. Thanks Janice! One of my favorite recipes.

Happy stitching!
