Almost time for an outing

My 48 hours of house arrest are almost over – yay!!  I still look like heck, and my lungs still sound, well, interesting, but I’m getting ready for my big outing this afternoon.

“Abby, you’ve just been sick for days!  Where are you going next?”

“I’m going to KMART!!!!”

Yes, indeed, I’m going to KMart.  To buy more Kleenex.  I estimate that I’ve used up at least four boxes of Kleenex over the last week, and it’s definitely time to refill the Kleenex stockpile.  And maybe look at some plants, too.  We could stand a few more of those gorgeous $6.79 hydrangeas.

And someday, hopefully soon, I’ll get back to writing about children’s literature on this blog.  But to be honest, children’s books and my job have been pretty far from my mind this last week.  Here’s to the power of phlegm: it made me take a real break from work for a change.

  1. And for $6.79, which may have been a mistake – today they were $12.99 each. Lucky me.

  2. Now I’m SUPER jealous. I found one hydrangea in all of Richmond, Indiana, and I won’t even say how much it was. Okay, it was $14.99. sigh.
