Just the opposite! We all need time and when something has been injured, well we need a little more time. Yes, I hear you about the Dudley, Kahlua isn't a puppy anymore either, but she gets into trouble all the time. She loves tissues and will swallow one before I can get it from her-the only thing she won't drop when I tell her too. Not sure what the fascination with them is! And now there is Maverick, who is still a puppy. Even though he is laid back and doesn't find as much trouble as Kahlua does, he still does find some. Like you said, you need eyes in the back of your head! It's a full time job and by the time Bret gets home I'm exhausted. lol Savannah is good, but she figures if they can do it why can't she. lol Anyway, one day...maybe these dogs will be good, maybe. lol Hugs, BrendaBrendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555452421297088756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641751363324030551.post-1695763790677202662020-01-11T18:43:06.340+00:002020-01-11T18:43:06.340+00:00I've found that life gets in the way of crafti...I've found that life gets in the way of crafting and it comes first. I sure understand that Len is the priority and you need to rest that shoulder. I'm not sure ironing is what I would think of as a cure but those clothes won't iron themselves.

As I have learned, if I don't take time to take care of my health, my health will force me to stop until I do take care of it... be gentle with yourself (and your shoulder) which I can understand completely... (I've been bad and pruned our native- read flammable- garden as one of the fires has moved closer to us- and my physio knows- my shoulder has reverted to when I first started seeing her last year...) so many steps forward and now several steps back as I needed to get the jobs done... now I must rest too... We will all come back once you are on top of things, for now we can stop by the playground and enjoy some hooch- while you are not watching... Happy New Year and have a wonderful week...MeganMegan Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08615888035652815111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641751363324030551.post-2981831670524749202020-01-07T09:20:47.366+00:002020-01-07T09:20:47.366+00:00Think this rest week ought to be an annual event f...Think this rest week ought to be an annual event for you to recuperate, dear Di, it’s needful.<br />I’ve been busy here with family and summer hols and folks coming next week and here today.

In fact, you deserve a month off, if you want the truth! Not only a month off, but a big box of chocolates, puppy kisses from Dudley, and a foot massage from Len as well (okay, okay Len, I'll stop there). <br /><br />I know how hard it can be to give your body the rest it needs when things are all there needing to be done. But if you don't force yourself to rest, things will get a lot worse, I'm sad to say. Sooooo, hoping you are able to enjoy your time off and give that sweet Dudley some attention so he doesn't get into even more mischief, ha!<br /><br />Happy New Year to you Di, and thank you for all that you do.

Take a break, get things done at your own speed, rest that shoulder, and come back when you're good as new! Of course, make sure you cuddle that sweet Dudley! We'll all be here waiting for you whenever you are able to post again. I take lots of breaks myself when I need to, so I completely understand! No worries!

Take all the time you need and please never feel the need to apologize. Thanks for everything you do and enjoy the new year. We have just taken out decs down, it took all day but is done. My poor 86 and 87 year old parents have been very ill since before Christmas with flu and are still not right so I have been doing a round trip of nearly 2 hours every few days to help so I am sorry if I have been so absent too.

No failure involved in any way - please don't ever think that!! Maybe a good solution for this December challenge is to make it 4 weeks instead to give you more time to your priorities or to yourself. I have to take several days to take down my decorations as I just can't handle it all at once. And I over-did it yesterday and was so sore and went to bed at 9:00. But I just can't imagine having a sore shoulder doing all that! Yikes!! You need to take care of that first, Di. <br />That Dudley, sounds just like my parrot, Rocky. He sees a piece of tissue laying around, he is shredding it (& eating some, too, I'm sure!). ;-) Now … go take care of yourself!!! hugs, BeccaBecca Yahrlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688353838541313962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6641751363324030551.post-66738539587735715722020-01-04T07:21:57.257+00:002020-01-04T07:21:57.257+00:00A very wise decision Di - if you don't look af...A very wise decision Di - if you don't look after yourself and Len, there won't be a challenge at all.
