What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 This morning we headed to Tacoma for my surgery at 6:45 am. We left early just in case. Good thing we did because it too 1 hour 45 minutes to get there.  Usually, it takes an hour 15 minutes to get there.

I ended up waiting in the room for an hour and a half before my surgery. I was awake the whole time.  Luckily it didn't bother me. 

Afterwards we went to the Spaghetti Factory.

I am limited to what I can do. Right now, it's painful. So, I won't be posting daily, till the ...

This morning, I got some cleaning done. Then I headed to Centralia to meet up with Sandy and her sister JT (Jeannette). We must have talked for over 2 hours. I've missed Sandy since her job moved out by us. She couldn't get her Monday's off. The two of them were checking out downtown Centralia by the time I got there. The restaurant was nice and cool. I could have stayed there all day!

We were in the low 90's today. I believe WA broke records on being so hot today. We have another hot day ...

 I am beginning to think we should move to Olympia at this point. I received a message from Kaiser to get a MRSA test done before I got to Tacoma for my surgery on my trigger thumb. So, I had to run up there today. 

Patrick went golfing this morning and when he came home, said he needed some time before we left. So, while I waited on him, I worked on more beading. 

I slept in till around 9:30 am. I just didn't want to get up. But I finally did. Patrick went golfing. 

I received a message that I need to get a MRSA test done before Tuesday's surgery. Oh, what fun! 

Went out and walked my 7 laps. I ran into one of my neighbors who asked me how many times I go around the neighborhood. Told him 7 and it comes to about 2.3 miles. He had his corgi dog with him. Really sweet guy. 

Came in and Patrick was back from golfing. I had laundry ...

This morning, I was up and wanting to play my games for a bit. Instead, I went for a walk and made it around the neighborhood 5 times. Patrick wanted to go to the casino early, so we left about 10:15 am. I had a message to Martha to meet us at IGA. Then Colleen said that Jan would be there to. 

We arrived at about 10:55 am, and both of them just arrived as well. Jan took 2 of the kits for quilts, while Martha took 2 as well. Then we headed to the casino to play ...

 This morning, I woke to find Patrick on the couch. He didn't have a good night sleep. He wasn't feeling the best. 

I went walking and missed a round. I must have done 6 thinking it was 7. I will fix that tomorrow. 

Spent the morning playing. I was chatting with good friends. Then it was time to head back up to Olympia for my visit. 

Since I'm having to take medication for my cholesterol, I had to go see the nurse to see how to inject the medication into my tummy. I wasn't too thrilled ...

This morning, I was happy to see the "Kingdom vs Kingdom" fight was on around 9 am our time. I rarely get to play. I played today. Wasn't my favorite time because there wasn't a rhyme or reason to what was going on. We played for points in honor of our playmate that passed away this week. All our names have been changed to honor her. Not sure how long that will last. I had my icon changed with her in the background of my hawk. I will change my name back later. 

Then I went for my ...

This morning, I was up and ready to get ready for mom and Georgie to come over. I had to work on the cake I messed up yesterday on. I did the chocolate ganache. Then I put it in the frig till after mom left. 

Mom and Georgie arrived around 10:30 am. Mom was going to bring lunch but that didn't happen, so I had to make grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. 

We finished the border on one quilt. Mom was doing the sewing on my machine. I was cutting and getting things ready to sew together. Then ...

This morning, Patrick was golfing and I was sleeping in. Then I finally got out the door to walk. Only made it 3 laps before the rain started to pour. Just as I got into the house the water was fast and strong coming down. I would have been even more soaked than I was. 

I needed to go to the grocery store for some things to make dessert. Mom said she needed me to come to the Bazaar so she could give me the quilt top that was done. So, I headed down the street to the Bazaar. They ...

This morning, I was up and walking. I didn't get but one round in when I ran into one of my neighbors. We chatted for a while. Then as I was going for the next round, Raymond my next-door neighbor was driving by and chatted. Found out one of our neighbors passed away last week. Found out another neighbor has cancer. Things aren't looking good on the street. We must have chatted for a total of an hour between the two. So, I went and finished my walk after chatting with Raymond. 

Patrick got home shortly after. I ...

I woke to the phone ringing at 9 am. It was my cousin Bryan. He needs me to do something for him, but I will wait till tomorrow. After I hung up with him, I took my shower. Then to get another phone call from Kaiser about the medication they are sending me. I had to know how much it would cost me per month. It's $100 a month to get my medication for cholesterol. It's only 2 applications a month. It's like an allergic pin. I can't spell all the stuff I need to, so ...

This morning I woke to find Katt had already left for moms. She was having breakfast with her. She came back around 11:30 am. Guess my mother kept her busy. 

I just listened to the end of my audiobook. Then I got ready to leave for Olympia. Patrick had his eye exam and afterwards we went to Red Lobster up there. Katt came along and got to see what Kaiser looked like.  It was good. I think they are a little better than the one in Longview. But then I thought a few years back that Olympia wasn't ...

This morning, we left for the Mariner's game. We went to Angle Lake to hitch a ride on the tram. We then road the tram for about 30 minutes. Once we arrived behind the stadium, we walked the 3 blocks. We had seats in the upper 2nd floor. Patrick got them in the "den" area. I love where we were. 

One can't see it, but we were on the corner area. Just close to the yellow pole that divides the home run and out of bounds area. It was awesome. A home run hit the pole. 

They had ...

 This morning Patrick went golfing. It was nice to have part of the morning to myself. I even got a walk in with 7 laps. it felt good to walk, since I haven't been very good about going out every day.

Patrick got home and he worked in the yard. Then after he showered, we headed to Safeway to get a few things for when my daughter gets here tomorrow. I bought a salad for myself, and Patrick decided he wanted shrimp for supper. I put the chicken in the oven to go with my salad when Patrick asked ...

This morning, I couldn't get my rear out of bed till 9 am. I thought it was odd that Patrick didn't let me know he left. Found out why, when I walked into the living room to find him sleeping on the couch. He's stomach wasn't doing good today. I sent him back to bed because I had things to do. 

I got laundry going. Washed the new sheets we bought and the sheets from changing the bed. So, I ended up folding 2 sets. Not my favorite thing. 

I was cleaning the cat litter, vacuuming ...

This morning, I got up and took my shower to find that my headache got worse, and my sinus' weren't working right. My allergies got in the way. So, I ended up crawling back to bed to sleep. The headache got worse and my stomach was ready to heave. I slept for about an hour, got up and took a headache pill, then went back to sleep. Woke again, and took my allergy meds. Back to bed. 

Patrick came home from golfing and I was sleeping. We had plans to go to the casino and I was determined to ...

 This morning, we worked on getting a few things cleaned up before heading to moms to get her. 

We picked mom up around 10 am. Then we headed down to Battle Ground for my great-niece's 1st Birthday party. We were at the park in Battle Ground. At first, it was hard to find them. There were a couple groups there in the different areas, so we called Alicia and she came part way from the picnic area to show me where to go. It was a walk for mom, but she did well. She enjoyed being there with her ...

 This morning was another trip to Olympia. My biopsy was today for HPV-16 virus. Oh, what fun!! Not my favorite thing to do, but once a year, I can deal with it. Three years in a row so far. I hope it goes dormant soon, I'm getting tired of this. 

Before that I stopped and got my blood tests that my doctor wanted. I've been getting messages all day of what the results are but will go over them on the 2nd with my doctor.  

We stopped at Costco to get a few things. I was limited to ...

This morning, Patrick went golfing. I got started on the laundry and then sat and listened to my book on tape. 

I went downstairs with a couple patterns and put one kit together. I need to add the border fabric but forgot about that. 

My appointment was at 2:20 pm and we were early. I got in early. We ended up waiting till past my appointment. She had a student come in and chat with me. Then she left and they came back later. It was a good hour visit by the time we were done. I talked about ...
