I like Thursdays Jan 4

Greetings!

Hello to everyone. Happy New Year.

We have had a difficult 2 weeks with  truck repairs, clothes washer not cooperating and health issues for both of us! I do not understand "what's goin on"🎶.  That's a great song by the way. just sayin. We have both been at Urgent Care 2 days apart. I'm supporting Cigna.

I digress. I still have "likes" to share , so lets get goin.

1. My new Steam Inhaler. It works great to clear the sinuses but I don't think it's great for the bronchial tubes. not sure yet. At $30 I expect miracle breathing and I'm glad to have a clear head without taking drugs which I'm sensitive to.


The other reason I liked using this was because I didn't have to use a humidifier for the whole room.
Plus, you get a free facial.

2. Spicy Peppermint Hot Chocolate  that I made from a recipe at thecraftyquilter.com. I used cayenne pepper rather than the pepper. Took 5 minutes but SO worth it vs store packets.

3.My Christmas presents from my brother.  First, you need to know he lives with me, is disabled and does not drive, use a computer, and is totally dependent on others to go places. Twice a week he attends the adult center to play games, cards, have lunch. Then his girl friend also takes him for the weekend.  This year, he ordered a quilt calendar for me online through his girl friend:
There's a new quilt pattern every month at least!


Then he ordered a quilted Christmas candle holder made by one of the adults at the center:

Absolutely beautiful!!
Plus he was able to purchase at the store (with his girl friend) Christmas knee socks:

I was totally blown away by his resourcefulness and thoughfulness!
I loved all my gifts, but this was just so special.

I hope everyone is having a good week.  Please join us at LeeAnna's "likes" group:Not Afraid of Color for more positive vibes.
Have a blessed day. Thanks for stopping by.

  1. Hi Mary,
    I hope you are both feeling better! Urgent Care is no fun. That calendar from your brother looks like fun, and the quilted candle holder is beautiful. How thoughtful of him - that just warms my heart. I hope you had fun wearing the knee socks - they surely kept you warm in these cold days. ~smile~ Roseanne

  3. Homemade hot chocolate is always the best. That cayenne pepper must help the sinuses! I hope you feel better.

  5. Mary hope you are feeling all well again. We are coping with Hubby having a bad cough and tis the season for colds and flus. I have been using nasal sprays to keep the sinus moist, as running a furnace is so drying this time of year. I would love to avoid a sinus infection that I seem to get more often lately and hate them.
    Those gifts were spot on! Your brother did well!
    Take care of yourself.
