Puffy eyes

I look so attractive with my puffy eyes. Even Brian said, 'Are you sure you don't need some medicine, you don't look so good.' Looks like I've been crying over 5 sad movies in a row. I am sick of being sick with this dumb cold. I haven't had a cold like this in ages. I have a Christmas schedule that I try to adhere to every blasted year. The cards are written out. The decorations outside are still in their boxes. I can only do so much.
I made dinner and the chicken was like shoe leather. I used my George Foreman grill knock-off (it's like 10 yrs old anyway) to make the chicken have those grill marks. It looked good. Then I dumped it in the sauce and the toughness took over. It was a Betty Crocker box mix I was trying to 'doctor' up (doctor, ha ha!) It was similar to the chicken dish I love at the Olive Garden. I did print out that recipe which is lost in here somewhere.
I actually finished a cross stitched item as a gift. It's not finished all the way. I need motivation to finish it and three other things, like a body power surge. I got other gift things together to analyze what I can send this week and what I can send next week.
I sure hope I can get out tomorrow as I've been house bound for 4 days. We are expecting a few inches of snow in the late afternoon or early evening.
Darn, need a tissue. I'm investing in Puffs.
