What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning, I wanted to leave by 9 am. I had to drop off the family history at the post office for Bryan. Then I found out 2 pages didn't make it in the envelope so will send it later. Then I stopped for breakfast and tea. 

Got to my appointment on time. Chatted with Bob about life in general for me. He suggested I might like to chat with a physiologist. I tend to agree with him. My emotions are all over the place and I'm not doing much anymore like I usually do. I sent a ...

 Today I was up early, because I wanted to play my war game. I had 2 today. Patrick was golfing so I could play. At 9 am I played for an hour with friends. 

Patrick got home just as I finished up my journal about living with cancer. I figure it's easier to write it down then it is to share on a blog. I had thoughts that needed to be on paper and not in my head. 

Then I played waiting to hear from Phil. When I did, he said he didn't need me. So, Patrick and ...

 This morning, Patrick tagged me to get up and get ready to go to Olympia for his scans. He had CAT and MRI done today. So, I was ready when we needed to leave. Would have been nice to sleep in but we were up by 8 am. Out the door by 9 am. Patrick's first scan was at 10:20 am and then we had to wait (and wait) till 11:50 am for his other scan. I took a walk around the medical facility. The last scan took longer and was about 40 mins. The first one ...

Today I was up early. Had to get moving for my Physical Therapy appointment. It was at 9 am, so I wasn't used to being up at 7:30 am anymore. I tend to be up around 8-9:30 am. It was different. 

I spend the hour working on my walking down the hall. I had been poked as well. But it felt good after. I forgot my stick and wished I had taken it. 

Afterward, I went to moms. We worked on the 4 1/2" squares she had. She's been making more 9-patches, but I can ...

 Today, I slept in because I could. We didn't have embroidery and probably won't for a while. I did get the mail that I didn't get 2 weeks ago. It all finally arrived. One was from BDEIG stating we are in trouble. Our membership has dropped to below 200 members, and they need help from all of us. I agree but wonder in a way if it's a little late. I tried to tell them when I was on the board that they needed to work on newer designs and different pattern other than flowers. It ...

 Today, we started with the usual Sunday morning. I got a few things done. 

I played for a bit before we headed to the playhouse to see Heckle & Jeckle. 

It was a different kind of play. I never read the book or saw the movie. I wasn't that thrilled in the first 10 minutes of the play and wondered how long it would be. It's a musical, so it went on for a while. I enjoyed some of the music, but it wasn't my kind of play. They did an awesome job of acting. The background, though ...

This morning, was physical therapy. I had it early, so I was back by noon. I stopped at moms to visit but she had a gal there for her Mary Kay makeup. They were playing. I didn't want to, and I left. 

Came home to find in the mailbox my Round Robin piece. It was what the gal who was before me was supposed to have done. She had to quit, so she sent me what she was getting. I decided to get to work on it, because it needs to go back in the mail in a weeks ...

This morning, I was beat, but I think it's because I took Night Qual around 3 am. I slept till about 10 am today. Mom called and we chatted. Then I started cleaning the house. 

I felt the house needed some work, and Patrick was golfing till 2 pm since they didn't get out in the course till around the time I was getting up. I started with laundry and worked my way to vacuuming. I got a lot done, even with the dishwasher. 

Once all that was done, I didn't feel like doing ANYTHING. I played ...

 This morning, I was getting a few things done before everyone started to show up. We had 7 of us today which is a good sign for Sew Days. 

I had everything planned out and cut. Then I had everyone make sure they had the same 1/4" seam allowance guide. Once we had that down, I had them get started on the 2 quilts that I was ready to have done. We worked on the Irish Chain and a 9-patch quilt. I didn't get a photo of the pretty one that is the Irish Chain, but I did ...

 Today, I had my physical therapy appointment. I was ready to go. Plus, I needed to stop at the post office to send out a couple packages. I also had to get some stamps. 

Once that was done, I headed to Centralia for my physical therapy. I was able to feel a little better afterwards. 

Got home around 12:30 pm. Then Patrick and I went to the casino. Today's gift was sheets. That's why Patrick wanted to go. He wanted to get the sheets. lol We stayed and played. We actually didn't do bad. We came ...

This morning, I did some cleaning. The usual Sunday morning routine. 

The I worked on my bookkeeping and my genealogy. I wanted to work on some letters that were written by my mother's uncle. I entered them in the Letters from the Past blog. I was able to add about 4 or 5 letters. I also added my grandmother's obit on that page as well. I was surprised to see where he was separated from his wife in 1926. Not sure which one that was. But in 1927 he found Jo - the one who had a son with ...

Today, I was up earlier than usual. I wanted to participate in the war game this morning. I did for a while then went with Debbie to get "coffee." We chatted about the Mariner's game and a few other things. Not sure what's going on with the museum, but I do know the funding has been lost. 

Came back home and headed downstairs. I needed to get ready for the sew days on Wednesday and had to pick a few things up. 

I got started. The blue bag there was emptied with more fabrics that were donated. I ...

 First things first. I was at PT today. I took Bob some veggies from the garden. Afterwards I went to moms for the applique group meeting. I had been there first, but no one was there. So, I really didn't expect much when I went. I arrive to find Micheale there with Jeanine. Jeanine didn't have anything to work on, so I gave her mom's block that I was working on. Conversation went to the back basting issues. Jeanine doesn't do back basting, and she didn't know what to do. We explained it to her ...

This morning, while showering, I had a thought about toilet paper and toilets. Weird how we think of things while in the shower! This of all things! But I found myself thinking of the past - yet again. I do miss my father!

I remembered the story my dad told me about having to go out to an "outhouse" to use the bathroom. I knew of outhouses, but thought toilets was before his birth. Guess not. Anyway, I remember him telling me that they didn't have toilet paper like they do today. When I questioned, "then what did you use ...

Yep, just not there today. I wasn't in the mood to do much. I'm still coughing and getting tired of it! I'm still not 100% better. My ears started popping, so it's getting better instead of worse. 

I pretty much played my games. I did go out and walk once around the neighborhood. It hurt when I got down by Ron's place. So, I stopped and chatted with Dustin. We talked about how Ron is doing. Then I came back home. I was able to do one lap, but it's only about a half ...

 From interesting to nothing. Not bad! lol 

Today, I was coughing still. I hate this mess I have! I have been coughing so much that I get a headache every time!

I cleaned up the kitchen, house and whatever else I could find. I worked on laundry. Then I played my war game that took 2 1/2 hours. It was fun and we won. So, I'm shocked I am moving on to the next round. It's interesting. I'm learning a lot but I'm still staying in the middle of the pack. Each round they eliminate ...

This morning, I had an appointment in Olympia. Sheryl and I worked out getting together for her group to quilt 10 of our quilts. She also gave me 8 quilts from her stuff. I told her to feel free and take any of the quilts I brought for their group. They aren't the prettiest, but they will do in a pinch. She is getting those quilted for us. 

I had my appointment and I'm comfortable with what the surgeon said. I was asking about the fluid in my breast that was where the cancer was. It's common ...

 Today, I was getting ready to get back to normal. No such luck. I was up and sore. I had my PT today so didn't do much till it was time to go. 

Gave Bob all the information I had from my last appointment. Told him to keep the information. I didn't need it. He worked on my hip and then he told me I need to walk with a stick. I walked with one he had and we talked about it. I could order one, but just not sure if I want to. I may not use ...

Woke with the cold that everyone has. I got it from someone, and I have a good idea who. OR I got it from staying at the grange those 4 days. 

I pretty much slept in the afternoon, and now I'm heading back to bed. Patrick was watching football and football and then news. Football and then Funniest Home videos. So, not even worth getting out of bed for. I told Sandy in a text to "shoot me now," for having to watch all that stuff. The cable guy came out and fixed our cable. Now it's supposed ...

This morning, I slept till about 9:15 am. I wanted to keep sleeping. That's fine. Maybe next time I will. When I'm not feeling well, I just want to sleep. 

I played games today. I wasn't in the mood for much else. Till after supper anyway. 

Patrick slept on the couch for a couple hours and I just played my games and chatted with friends on the game. I'm learning a lot, and one actually helped me. So, I may be getting better at this yet! 

Then after supper, I baked a blueberry zucchini bread ...
