I've been tending to a sick spouse for a few days. Today he went back to work but he may end up staying home again tomorrow. So far I've managed to resist getting sick by washing my hands 500,000 times a day and spraying down the house with my herbal antibacterial room spray (20 drops of lemon essential oil and 20 drops of lavender essential oil in about 1 cup of water in a spray bottle.)

I 'm going to start the cabled socks in Handknit Holidays. I need something that doesn't require too much thinking on my part because I have two magazine articles to write this week - one on herbal teas and a Cinco de Mayo menu article.

Peaches is planning to help me - she's quite a fan of paperwork.
