What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 This morning, I was ready to head out for the museum. First, I had to go to Safeway, and then it was off to Phil's to drop off Patrick's clothes in case he has to go get Patrick. Patrick was scheduled to get out of the hospital today. 

I headed over to the museum and got some stuff done before everyone started coming in. Brother Patrick arrived shortly after I did. I got him set up with the people we were expecting. We had a great presentation. Only one person didn't make it to the presentation. 

As ...

 Today, I was able to sleep in. I didn't want to get up. I could have stayed there but still needed to go see Patrick. 

I dropped off the electric bill to PUD, since they always get it late when I mail it. It's for the water system and the last thing we need to do is pay $20 each month for being late because of the mail. 

Then I went to Dutch Brothers to get my tea. It was 2xs the points if I buy 2. I ordered my drink and one for Patrick. They gave me ...

This morning, I wanted to be up to see Patrick early. So, I was out the door by 9:00 am. I was supposed to stop at the church but forgot. I headed to Safeway for a doughnut and got one for Patrick as well. Wonder if he will want another one tomorrow. I stopped and got some iced tea at Dutch Brothers then headed up there. 

I hate driving up there, but I've been pretty lucky so far. Some of the drivers don't want to let me in, but I get there anyway. I hate driving like ...

One more day of driving to Olympia. It does get old. And the drivers in Olympia are awful! 

I waited to go up to see Patrick till after 10 am. I needed to go to Kaiser first for blood work. Once that was done - there were 25 people in front of me! - I headed over to see Patrick. He was doing good. There were so many people coming in to see him. He finally told me about his doctor's visits. They are all happy with how fast he is healing. He always was a fast healer. It sounds like ...

Today I was up early and got my laundry started. I made toast and then headed up to Olympia to see Patrick. 

Had to stop at Colleen's to get a couple quilts and give her fabric to work on pillowcases. She's getting the pillowcases ready for sewing on our sewing day. That's the next project for sew days. We won't have it started till October. 

I headed to Olympia. Patrick was a little snitty. It took a little bit and then he was better. He needed his pain killers. I stay for a bit. Mom called ...

 This morning, I slept in. Wasn't ready to get out of bed because it was a long day yesterday. Once I did, I was on the move. 

Went to McD's for breakfast and then Dutch Brothers for tea. I also washed the car since it was across the street. Once all that was done, I headed to Olympia. It's a 45 min drive, so I was glad to see it wasn't crowded. On the way back it was easier to get on the freeway then it was last night. 

Patrick looks great. He's not so ...

 At 6 am, Patrick woke me up and said he had to go to Urgent Care. I got up, showered, dressed and headed out the door. We were at Urgent Care around 7:15 am. They took him in and in about 10 minutes called me to the back room where he was. They checked him out and wanted a CT scan with contrast. Which he's not supposed to have, but it was the only way they could find what the problem was.  While we waited for the results, they contacted Providence St. Pete's in Olympia (5 mins ...

Today I started out slowly. I didn't feel like doing much, since Patrick wasn't feeling good again today. He's had it rough for the past week. I don't know how he can stand it, but instead of going to UC, he sleeps. 

I called the church to find out when I could come and get the quilt. Sharon was leaving around 2 pm today and the church would be closed then. So, I told her I would be on my way. I picked up the quilt I had been trying to figure out where it was ...

 Since I changed the theme on here, it is a little harder to get to my blogging area. 

How do you like the new theme? OR should I try something else? 

Today, Patrick wasn't feeling well again. Poor guy has so much pain in the stomach. Like IBS pain or muscle pain. I feel for him, but he's got to work it out with himself over this. He's a GUY and they think they know better. 

I brought in the box for the cat tree. I wanted to work on it, and he let me. He did ...

It's a three "thing" day. Woke to get ready for the dentist. I HATE going to the dentist. But at least I do like this dentist. I'm still glad I switched to this guy. I had 3 teeth that need to be "padded" because of the missing area. It shouldn't need a shot (thank goodness!). So, I'm doing that on Thursday. Patrick waited out in the car while I was in there. He's still not feeling that great. 

After I was done, we went to the casino. It was pretty quiet. We played a long ...

 This morning, I felt like sleeping in and I did. Patrick was up before me but since he golfs so early, that's easy for him now. 

I got busy with laundry and did pretty good today. I figured I could keep an eye on it while I beaded. Surprisingly, I did. 

 Today, was another trip to Olympia. Patrick had his doctor appointment, and I picked up my glasses. Before going, we stopped at Franz and picked up some treats for Patrick. He loves his sugar!

We were going to go to Red Lobster, but that one is closed. So, we came all the way back to Ground Mound and eat at Dick's Brewery & Deli. It was good, but I was full. 

On the way home, we stopped at Safeway and got some ice cream and milk. The essentials! 

Now we are home and the game is on. So, I will ...

That escalated quickly. 

Since that last post, I’ve had a whole lot of distractions that, of course, keep me from quilting. They’re not all bad. Several of those distractions were times with family (yay!) and friends (yay!) due to a bunch of birthdays in one week. That’s good. But other distractions are happening due to friends and family experiencing a myriad of health and life issues, and that’s not good.

 This morning I had a list of things to do. One was heading to the bank and then to City Hall. I stopped at City Hall to see the Police Chief and City Manager. I gave them some applications for veterans. I also enjoyed chatting with Stacey since I haven't seen him in years. We chatted like old friends. That put me behind. I stopped at DB and it was busy. So, I had to wait. I told them I wasn't happy that the last 2 times I ordered a drink for Debbie, they gave me a medium ...

This morning, we did the usual of cleaning up. Then we went outside and picked a bucket of apples. We have 8 boxes of apples out there that were on the ground. So, we didn't start picking them fast enough. 

Came in and made apple sauce with the first set of apples. Patrick didn't want to do much, which was disappointing since I was wanting to do the whole bucket. I did take 3 apples and make a German Apple Cake for tomorrow. It's in the refrigerator. 

I also got to work on the excel paperwork that ...

 This morning, we planned to go to the casino. I got a few things done before heading out. 

We dropped off 2 kits and picked up 2 tops from Martha on the way. Then we played for a good 4 hours. We had fun. Won and lost, but we didn't lose a lot. We are still playing off the money we got 4 months ago. They aren't giving out big wins anymore and they aren't giving out as much money as they did before. Next month I will only get about $45 when I was getting $75 ...

 This morning, I took my walk before I did anything. It was already 65 degrees outside. I got the full 7 laps in today. 

Then came in and worked on my QOV stuff. I needed to get my excel finished and also work on who's next on the list to get a quilt. Patrick came in from golfing. He quit early and went to take a nap. That seemed to help him out. While he was doing that, I was working on QOV and making phone calls. 

He had a meeting to go to after supper and then we ...

 You know you're getting old when you have 4 doctor appointments in a week OR 6 or more in a month! OMG! I remember waiting a whole year to see the doctor! NOT NOW! 

I had my cardiologist appointment today. I'm getting ANOTHER pill to help me out. Then I have blood work to do in 2 weeks after starting it. OH, yea, then I have another echocardiograph again in 3 months. OH! BUT MY HEALTH IS GOOD. Really?! Or is it old age talking that at my AGE, I'm healthy? 

We came back and picked up ...

 This morning, I really wasn't feeling all that great. So, I really didn't do anything but play on the tablet for a bit. 

Then we left around 12:30 pm to drop off 2 quilts with Colleen and then head off to Olympia for my eye appointment. I ended up getting 2 pairs of glasses, one for every day and one for when I work on my projects. I hope they work out. Then we went up to Patrick's oncology appointment. He is working on getting his stomach back in shape. The oncologist gave him something for ...

This morning, I needed to get the backing and batting done for Colleen. Then I got another quilt to take to the church. I had to pick one up, and asked if she could take another. 

First, went to the church, got a quilt, dropped one off. Second, went to PUD to drop off a check, then to McD's for breakfast. Once that was done, I went to Dutch Brothers for tea. Got one for mom as well. 

Arrived, dropping off the quilt at moms. Gerilyn and Bonnie were there. I didn't feel like working on anything, so ...
