Every thing's fine, it's fine.

Monday (BTW, this is a photo of a dog catching a snack). Receptionist out for another day. She texted last night that she was 75-80% better and would come in this morning and try to work until noon. I said

Maybe tomorrow. I made the decision last week that I wasn't going to do her work for her either. No one does my work when I'm out sick.

So I had a pretty good weekend. Got the hair cut. Went to the coffee shop for beading group. Jim was sick, Jodie had a headache, Carol never comes, so it was just Ann and Patt and I. And then Barb showed up to surprise us. I knew she was going to do something like that at some point. It was a nice visit.

I put together two more found objects necklaces that turned out very good, in my humble opinion. The pearl and rhinestone one confounds me. But I WILL make it work.

I'm currently re-reading THE LADY CHAPEL by Candace Robb. 2nd of 13 in series featuring Owen Archer, a spy for the Archbishop, in medieval York.

Summer in the year of our Lord 1365: On the night after the Corpus Christi procession, a man is brutally murdered on the steps of York Minster. The next morning his severed hand is found in a room at the York Tavern—a room hastily vacated by a fellow guild member who had quarreled with the victim. Archbishop Thoresby calls on Owen Archer to investigate. As Owen tracks the fleeing merchant, he uncovers a conspiracy involving a powerful company of traders, but his only witness is a young boy who has gone into hiding, and his only suspect is a mysterious cloaked woman. When Owen discovers a link between the traders and a powerful coterie in the royal court, he brings his apothecary wife, Lucie, into the race to find the boy before he is silenced forever by the murderers.

Steve had a stomach bug this weekend, very similar to what one of our techs had last week. He's better now.
