Comments on: What happened to the art of the lie-in? http://pollyannapenguin.wordpress.com/2011/09/10/what-happened-to-the-art-of-the-lie-in/ This is a blog about me, my recently diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis and my struggles to stay positive about it!

On the bright side there’s no litter trays to clean, no fiddly tablets to chop into tiny bits and crush into food, no enormous vets bills, and he’s not in pain any more … would still rather have him back though!!!

I don’t think every day will ever be a lie-in day for me – just seem to have lost the knack!! I’ve also been crocheting up a storm; I now have a large bunch of unfinished projects (or I should say works in progress I suppose!) :-) Slippers for hubby, a wrap for me, a half-completed Turkish crochet bracelet, and various bits and bobs of yarn that I’m just experimenting with! Had a lovely holiday – but NOT looking forward to going back to work tomorrow!

I am however, ready for FALL..season changes make it that much sweeter when they come around again…
As well, crocheting and quilting up a storm for our craft fair on Oct. 1… I work all year making things i like to make then sell them really cheap to people and watch the smiles on their faces when they take home something they love… I do lots of American Girl doll sweater and hat sets, along with a pr. of slacks made from scrap fabric or recycled fabric from used clothing… yep, i throw NOTHING out..
Enjoy your vacation! I remember them all too well, always trying to squeeze things in all at once… but bear in mind.. the day does come that “everyday” can become a “lie-in day”…. LOL,, and i must say i’m better at that then most!!!!! :) hugs B

As one who also loves cats and has one who’s a very deal old friend, I understand how you miss his company. Hugs for you.

I also understand what you mean about the lie-in. We call it “sleeping in” over here, but the trouble managing to do it is just the same. I’d LOVE to snooze deep into the morning like I did when I was a hapless teen-ager, but years of getting up with or before the birds for work has completely ruined my ability to do so. Like it or not, I wake early and simply have to get up and get busy.

Here’s hoping the pain in your shoulder goes away quickly with a week’s worth of TLC. Congrats on the weight loss–it’s HARD to do and harder to stick to. At least when you ate those cookies you enjoyed them! ;)
