Hump Day

For lack of better description, today was really hump day. Whatever Andrew and/or Jim have had that has made them sick, they have readily shared it with mom and me. We are both sick. Right now she has the brunt of the UCK!, but I am feeling quite ucky, too.
On the bright side (or maybe darker side???), all three of the shades we (OK, mostly mom and dad of course) have been making are up and in place on the windows in the family room. Now hopefully we won't be blinded AS MUCH in the mornings from the sun. We go from thinking the beautiful windows will be great for sunshine to hating them for how much light and heat they let in. Now, if only the top three are as easy to get together...
