The Best Laid Plans

How can such a little thing as your nose cause such huge problems? I've been under the weather this afternoon with a sinus infection, which means I've done absolutely nothing on my Christmas gifts or the window seat trim.

I had such grandiose plans for this weekend! I actually was going to have time to get some work done. But my nose had other ideas. I've spent half the day in bed and the other half with my nose stuck in a steaming cup of tea, cocoa, hot water, or broth--depending on the moment.

I'm finally getting some ever so slight relief at nearly 10 p.m. after taking both Claritin and Sudafed. But about the only thing I feel like doing is surfing the 'net.

Luckily, I found a USA Today column that I had read recently, an article which expressed my frustrations exactly about dealing with contractors. (See long ago posting on that problem!) Finding a contractor? Now that is scary, by Craig Wilson, is his interesting take on the problem--contractors in American have been kidnapped and are all being held hostage! Read it for a good laugh. I did. Well, as much as you can laugh with a stopped up nose :-)
