Stacking the Shelves #156, Sunday Post #153, Sunday Salon #147

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? Mine was weird. My daughter was still sick and is finally on the mend. My husband came home from work early on Monday, just not feeling good, but not what our daughter had. I started feeling bad on Wednesday, by Thursday I just didn't feel great either. Mine feels like upper respiratory. I am resting and doing as little as possible 😂. I was super sad to hear the news of JoAnn Fabrics closing, the one I use all the time will be gone by the end of the month! My son had an appointment with rheumatology yesterday afternoon that ended with a referral to vascular and a ton of lab work. It still felt like a long week.

  2. They're closing the Joann's by me, too. And I'm so sad. It was such a nice store. And I have no idea where I'm going to go to get fabric and yarn now. 😥

    1. Lark, we have a Hobby Lobby, and other quilting shops (that are more expensive), so I am really going to miss it!

  3. That's a lot of health problems for one week! My husband caught a cold last week from the great-niblings, but he seems to be on the upswing today.

  4. Oh dear. I hadn't heard about Joann's Fabrics. That was my mom's favorite store. My aunt will be devastated.

    I'm so sorry you and your daughter were sick. Ugh.

  8. Ughhh I hope you feel better this week. My husband is not feeling great either. :( Weeks like that do feel really long. Get some rest all of you and I hope you feel better soon.

  9. It’s awful when everyone is down at the same time, I hope you all recover quickly.

    Wishing you all a better week

  10. This winter is dragging on! My daughter woke up not feeling well yesterday, and hubby came home early from work yesterday because he wasn't up to it and needed to rest. Hope your family is on the mend!

    1. Thanks Becki, I hope yours recovers quickly and you don't catch anything!

  11. I hope you start feeling well soon. All the JoAnn’s around me are on the chopping block too. To be honest though, I usually order direct from Premier Yarns, Herrschners, or go to local yarn stores. As fun as getting new books is, it would be nice to have a week without any coming in so I can catch up. But that’s all my doing.

    1. Carla, I go to JoAnn's for my business expenses, and fabric, so it is a huge blow. I shop there and Hobby Lobby for my yarn, so I will be fine there.

  12. I bet it was a long week Cindy - I hope everyone feels better soon. There is lots of influenza activity in my home province right now. I’ve been vaccinated but still want to mask up so I don’t bring something home for the high risk people in my life. Have a great week!

    1. Jodie, the flu is high everywhere, I think. But, we didn't have it. I think we should have had my daughter tested for Co**d for as long as she was sick, but we didn't think of it.

  13. I hope that you all get well soon!

    Enjoy your books. It's a shame about the DNF.

  14. I'm sorry about all the illness at your house. I hope everyone is doing better. Hope this is a better week for all of you.

  15. We don't have Joann's where I'm at but I was sad to hear the news too. I'd hope that they might open some stores here but I didn't expect that they'd close down so many instead. I'm sorry to hear your family haven't been feeling well, I hope you all feel better soon.

  16. We don't have a Joanne's near us but we used to have one a couple hours away. I'm sad to hear businesses like this are going out of business. It shows that more and more of us are not doing crafts and sewing, etc. It's a lost art really. I miss actual brick and mortor buildings where you could go in and look at things and feel them and choose -- shopping online just isn't as satisfying to me

  17. Eleanor has been sick for over a week and I finally caught it on Thursday night, except our symptoms are so different. But I don't know how else to explain me getting sick. We are having a cozy day inside since it's snowing and we have the day off from school. Hoping to have a few extra days off because it is about to get reeeeeealllllllyyyy cold. Fingers crossed!
