Morning all! I really slept in this morning, unusual since I'm normally awake before 5...not by choice, it's just a habit. I thought when my kids were gone and I retired, I'd happily snooze until 9 but it hasn't happened and now I regard 6 hours as a good night's sleep. Maybe if I quit falling asleep in midafternoon while reading????????

Hope everyone is feeling chipper today. I woke up with a "kink" in my back however it's not uncomfortable enough to interfere with sitting at the keyboard or doing housework. I did that thing about putting it in the trash, but housework keeps showing up like a bad virus. My house was never so neat as when I indulged in a cleaning person back in the eighties, I kept running around picking up our clutter so she could really clean. Now I pick up when I can't see tabletops etc. for all the junk. DH never complains either!! Last night he came home with a bouquet of cymbidium (sp.) to help with my gardening withdrawal.

Inspired by Molly, I am going to clean off my desk this morning. The real desk, not the computer desk. Computer desk stays fairly uncluttered due to lack of surface space to pile things up...but the other one is a chronological nightmare. Plant photos and articles, rebate offers, recipes, mail, bills (have to check those first...last month I piled up so much stuff I had to pay a couple on line in order to meet the deadline!) and other miscellaneous dreck that just didn't have an immediate home.

Okus, that was quite a trip for a $5 jar !! I hope it helps. I discovered something that seems to have cured my splitting and peeling nails. When I was young....sometime in the last century...my nails were strong and long and I never had a problem but for the last 10 or 15 years they've just weakened and have broken down to stubs. Then, at the salon where used to get my hair cut (but not after they raised the price to $40!) they were doing "free" hand massages using a product called "one minute manicure".' It is an odd mixture of dead sea salts and olive oil and who knows what else.
I must have been feeling rich that day because I bought a jar and have been using it for a couple of months now. I use it just before I go to bed, and apparently the oil has penetrated enough to keep my nails from breaking. and as a result I HAVE NAILS. We'll see how this prevails once I start getting into the dirt in spring!!! And you all get to share the flowers, just put them right in the middle of the table, and we can all look forward to Spring!!!
