With a huff and a puff, I'll blow your house down!

Somehow I had this crazy idea that not having a job meant I would have all this free time to do lots of projects. One of the first things I did after finding my jobless freedom was go out and buy knitting and sewing projects. But alas, I haven't even come close to finishing them. I haven't even started one of them! No! I've been too freaking busy! Volunteering, helping with house projects, interviewing all over creation, babysitting, visiting old friends, etc. In the last 4 weeks (or has it been 5? i forget.) of freedom I have only had 1 truly down day (see last week's eyeball picture blog). Today came close to being a down day, but no. Instead it's a sick day. Sore throat, congestion, coughing and sneezing. I'm pretty miserable. And for all of you who think they have witnessed my sneezing, you ain't seen nothing yet. Yesterday, while hanging out with little cousin Zachary for the day, I gave one of my best sneezing performances yet. It was about 8 massive sneezes in a row (IT HURTS!). Z looks very wide-eyed at me, pauses for a second, and says, "It's a good thing you're not a big fat man. If you were, you would have blown the house down!"
