What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 This morning Patrick went golfing. While he was gone, I started laundry, vacuumed, and took my walk. I started doing my exercises in the morning again. I did realize that I will not do the one where I am on all 4's. Those brought back the pain in my hip. Told Patrick I wasn't doing them again. Walking is my best bet and I have been doing that. Walked 5 laps today. Not quite 7 but it was way too cold. Between the wind and the rain, I gave it up. 

I played games again this afternoon. BUT ...

 This morning we had to go to Olympia for another one of my doctors appointments. It went really well. I'm healthy and things are looking good. We talked about everything going on. She's one of the best doctors I've had, and I have had a lot. 

After that we headed to Rochester, to the Lucky Eagle Casino. We stayed a little longer than last time, but the slots are really tight. It's frustrating. We were there about an hour and a half. Patrick needed to go. He was getting bored of the rain and bored of ...

 Today was Patrick's cancer appointments. One on zoom and one on the phone. 

The zoom meeting was with Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle. He was very informative. I liked the doctor. He had ideas of what Patrick could do next. There are things he will try. I had the feeling this is just to keep him alive. We are on 3 years of this. It's hard to listen to at times. But then other times are uplifting. This one, was having me question things in my mind. 

Then in the afternoon his cancer doctor. That went well ...

 This morning, I was up early. Had too much light coming through the window! And yet it rained. Go figure. I tend to wake at dawn no matter what. Sometimes I can go back to bed but not today. 

I played games for a while. Then I got up, watered the plants, cleaned up a little. Got laundry going. All that. 

Once that was done, I decided I wanted to bead. 

This morning we were up and out the door by 7:30 am. I had my breathing tests in Olympia today. It all went well, but I have to go back in 3 months. We are just checking to see if I am going down in one area. At least trying to see if there is a pattern. Told Patrick that I think I did that last year. The doctor asked me to come back in 3 months. I couldn't get an appointment that soon, so it's 5 months out. Like that's going to help. Anyway, I ...

 This morning Patrick went golfing. I enjoyed the morning by walking and then playing games. There is just something about playing games that is relaxing to me. 

When Patrick got home, we watched the TV show, "Finding Your Roots." I started watching it while he was golfing, so we watched 2 more after. It's fascinating to me. Plus, like them, I want to know where we came from. 

It was time for Patrick to go to the City for a meeting and I had an oncology "zoom" meeting. I talked to her about Patrick needing to change to her ...

This morning Patrick was out the door with golfing. I was out the door to drop off the quilt to Connie. Then I headed over to the grange were Sandy and I arrived at the same time. She picked up tea for us. Then we sat and chatted. We both had the class yesterday, so we both got to work on our pieces. Sandy's green is a little different from mine. We even looked on YouTube and watched how another gal attached the mirrors to fabric. It was so much better than what we were taught! It holds the ...

 This morning we were up early. I was tired and didn't want to get up, but we had to be in Olympia by 9:30 am. Katt called when we arrived in Olympia and were about 30 minutes early. So, we sat in the car and chatted with her. It was good to hear from her and she's been on it when it comes to calling us. We get called every other weekend; mom gets the other weekend. 

I had my tensity test this morning. It went really fast. The gal was surprised at how flexible I was ...

 This morning, Patrick slept in, and I got a few things done. He is going golfing tomorrow. It was funny though. Everyone around us, including mom, had snow. We didn't get any at all. A few friends took photos, but we were dry. If we did get some last night it didn't stay around. Mom said they got about 4" and she's about 10 - 15 mins away. 

I had to get back on the computer to work on QOV stuff. I added the photos from last month and this month on the Facebook page. Now that's ...

 This morning was embroidery day. I do enjoy going to embroidery to be around good friends. Cindy and Sandy were already there. It was odd today though. Cindy didn't talk much so we were wondering what was going on with her. Sandy and I worked on our class embroidery pieces. Cindy left and Sandy and I chatted for another hour. 

Sandy started out with the thicker thread. I believe that was Lola. I started with Lola yesterday and when I took everything out, I started with the Iris that was supposed to be for that. I like the Lola ...

This morning, I was up early. Just couldn't sleep. Patrick slept another 2 hours after me. So, I sat and played my games while he slept. I even tried to see if I could get the game on the computer but couldn't.  I was to be on the game at noon. 

So, while I waited for our "war game," I decided to bake Patrick his Magic Bars. He wanted them the last couple days. I even picked up the coconut for it. So, when he reminded me this morning, I decided to get it done and over with ...

This morning I had a doctor appointment at 9:15, so we left around 7:50 pm. We were early because we never know what the traffic would be like. We were by the hospital at St. Pete's when a car accident happened in front of us. We didn't see it hit, but we did see the car separating from the truck and out of control. We thought it would hit the car in front of us. Instead, it went right in front. All the airbags were blown out in the car. We think the person was unconscious ...

Today started out with watching an old John Wayne movie. I remembered it. It was one that we saw in Germany. Mom was a big John Wayne fan. 

Then I went for my walk, making it 7 times around the block. That I haven't done in over 2 months. Felt good, but the wind was blowing again. Yesterday the wind was blowing a little more than today. I had my hoodie on with Patrick's hat underneath. My ear buds quit on the first round, and I had to turn the phone on with the book playing. It was ...

This morning Patrick was off golfing. I decided to walk, but when I finally got out there, it started raining. So, halfway through it rained. I decided to keep going till I got my 3 laps in. Came in with a wet coat and pants. lol Yep, it's Washington weather!

Then I played games. When Patrick came home and decided to nap on the couch, I decided to stitch. 

I was able to get more stitches in. 

Then I remembered I had to check in with my appointment on Friday. As I was doing it, I was getting upset ...

This morning Patrick went golfing and I slept in. I did get a call from Radiology to come in for a check up. We will see on Friday if I need radiology or not. Will be interesting to see how much if any radiation I will need. 

I went out walking and was able to do 4 laps. I was having trouble with my ear buds and will have to do some research on that. Every time I go outside with them they stop working. Go figure. 

Then I came in and vacuumed. It needed it. Patrick came home just ...

 This morning I was up and feeling a lot better. I did help out a little with house work. Patrick was on it all day. He even worked on laundry. 

This afternoon was our Brazilian embroidery sew group via zoom. It's a fun group and we get along great. It's fun to see what everyone is working on. 

 Today Patrick went golfing. As for me, I felt awful. I did notice one of my eye lids is drooping enough that I can tell. It's like a shade over a corner of my eye. 

I put on and off the ice all day. It has been painful. I'm dealing with it, but it's uncomfortable. At least the area under my arm pit that I was having trouble with is not a problem and seems to be going down. 

As for the pain, I am also itchy. Being itchy is worse than the pain to me! I ...

Today we enjoyed not having to be up at a certain time. Yet I couldn't sleep in. 

We cleaned up the house a little this morning. Play started at 2 pm in Centralia. So, we cleaned up and I was able to get some rugs in the wash. Which I need to put back in the bathroom now that I think about it. 

Debbie popped over before the play. She and I were working on the batting for Connie. She picked up 2 battings and then left. Once she was gone, Colleen came to pick up the quilt I ...

This morning I was up earlier than I have been getting up. I had 2 phone calls from Kaiser today. One to go over my surgery on Tuesday. 

Then I got laundry going. I'm happy to say, I actually did 3 loads! lol - Patrick went golfing and was home before noon. He had been itching to go golfing since they closed the course for a week. The weather was either too cold or raining too much. We had freezing weather in there as well. So, when he came home, he crashed on the couch and slept for a good ...

This morning I didn't do a lot. I was just enjoying the morning. Patrick didn't go golfing because of the rain. 

My appointment in Olympia was at 2, so we left around 1. It was short and sweet. I wanted to see if he would remove some fluid under my arm pit. He said to remind him Tuesday when I have surgery, to remove some fluid. He will have a better chance to look at it then. I could have had it done today, but he said it would be better if I waited till Tuesday. Short and ...
