its late in the day now. i was busy all day canning. i got all the sauce in jars, 19 ,2 cups jars. i made muffins after i got done the sauce. then being as i still had an old banana i made pudding too. i canned 4 cups of the pudding and we can have the rest tonight. i will open one of the pudding jars in a couple of weeks and see how it is. i have never canned pudding before.
in between waiting for the canner to finish i did some art. got some ideas on paper and so far i like how they are turning out. i should have a few ATC to put up on facebook to trade this week. i look forward to maybe getting some mail this week for the ones i have already sent out.
brent was a huge help in the kitchen. he did up alot of the dishes or i would still be in there working.
i am tired but satisfied i got this much done today. work called and wanted me to work tomorrow, my day off. i said no its canning season and i have alot to do right now. i am not sure if they believed me or not but i dont care. its bad enough they make me work a split shift with trying to take away my days off too. its like they expect us to not have a life and just sit by the phone waiting for them to call. i have a life and my life does not revolve around work. i have to plan what i need to do when i am not working, like shopping or big chores.
later....
i had a rest and some dinner and a shower. i feel much better, oh and a pain pill. some one posted on facebook in one of the ATC groups a card using thread. i make greeting cards using thread. i thought why not try this on ATC. i will have to reduce in size some of the patterns i have but i thought i would try a couple and see how they are liked.
so i started one as it fit to the size of the card. its a yellow flower on a blue backround. i reused an old greeting card. i will try and post it in the next few days.
i am feeling ok mentally today. keeping busy helps alot. even though work is hard on my physically it helps as well. keeps my mind off other things. some days its really hard to stay up when all i want to do is stay in bed and cry. i have to get up though i have animals to look after and a house to tend to.
i am going to call it a night and see you all tomorrow.
