Winken, Blinken and Nod

I’m having a terrible time staying awake! I’ve only had six or so hours of sleep, and that’s about two, perhaps two and a half, too few. If I stay at the computer, I’m going to nod off. I have a number of things to do that will keep me on my feet, so that is the game plan for the day.
I need to collect the decorations for the Thanksgiving tables all in one place, out of the way. I have a few things that need to go to the basement to be stored while we have guests here. I have a Fall themed wreath to put up in the living room. I need to make gazillions of chocolate chip cookies for four kids in college. I want to send off some care packages for the last week before Thanksgiving. The boxes are ready to go except for the cookies and name tags.
We are collecting things for the troops for Christmas. I’ve started the tubes for neck coolers in camouflage materials. We still have to insert the crystals that swell and hold water, and sew the ends shut. I also need to sew binding for the last two quits, and stitch it to the fronts of the quilts. Then I could sit with D.H. and hand sew at night.
I still need to put together the head count for Thanksgiving at our house, but if I sit to do that, I’ll be a goner. It will have to wait until I’ve had a nap.
So…..I better get myself in gear, or I will STILL be here hours from now, sawing logs. I hope you’re all having good fall!
