Here we go

An extra day for the year, so I’m going to grab it and growl.  It’s time I jumped back into my work (quilting) with some seriousness.  I don’t know all of the things that have been plaguing my feeble little mind lately, but I’m going to defeat them and just get on with it.  Having [...]

It’s going to be a great day

No cancer!  Hello?  I know, I haven’t said much, and it’s probably part of my feeling really down lately, but I’ve had this thing hanging over my head for a while.  I had a spot on my mammo in the fall and they wanted me to come back for more screening mammograms, ultra sound, etc. [...]

Almost there

Well, yesterday was a bit exciting.  Many of you know that I have an antique Willcox and Gibbs chainstitch machine like this one: which I used to use for stitching backings and tops to long zippers before loading them onto my longarm machine.  Well, the little screw and bushing above the needle fell out a [...]

What a good day

It was only 29°F when I got up this morning, but the sun was shining, without a cloud in the sky, so Ozzie and I headed to Walterville to walk around the power canal with my sister and her dog Kallie.  I haven’t plotted the whole walk, but if you go once around the pond [...]

Edible bread!!

No blood sugar crash!  I can occasionally have a piece of toast or a sandwich!  You have no idea what a breakthrough this is for me.  I know I’ll still have to watch it.  If I start eating a lot of carbs, I’ll undoubtedly gain a lot of weight.  I guess I’ll slice this stuff [...]

A well-timed nap

. . . or, the bread also rises.  I decided before I napped with the kids, I’d throw all the ingredients for bread into my bread maker and let it whip some dough up for me.  As those of you who read this blog often know, I have a blood sugar problem which prevents me [...]

What a nice walk

Well, Ozzie and I got ourselves out there.  It’s only about 40°F (about 4.5C) out but the sun is glorious, so we took our 4.4 mile route today.  I actually saw some daffodils blooming, people are starting to plant peas in their raised beds, some yards have those springtime flowers planted in them (I’ll be [...]

It’s a sunny day!

And I’m so tired, I just want to go back to bed.  I managed to get 8 hours sleep last night and I’m still exhausted.  I’d like to just crawl back into bed, and I’ve already had two cups of coffee, and a good protein breakfast.  Oh well, I’m going to take the dog for [...]

Busy day

I cannot believe how tired I am.  It’s only 9:30 p.m. and I’m ready for bed.  Generally, I’m up till 1 or 2 in the morning, but not tonight.  I did take the dog out for a walk in the rain this morning.  We didn’t go as far as we usually do.  I imagine only [...]

I did say Every Day, didn’t I?

Man!  It’s pouring rain this morning.  But, I do need to take the dog for a walk, and I promised I would.  Actually, the dog doesn’t really need a walk, but I do.  I did have two walks yesterday.  4.6 miles in the morning and then another 2.8 in the afternoon.  Does that mean I [...]
