What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 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 ...

 This morning, I slept till around 10 am. I surprised myself but it felt good. Lately I seem to want to sleep more. Thinking that's my way of healing with cancer. Who knows. I will see the surgeon tomorrow about my surgery on Tuesday. 

I played games and Patrick made some Peanut Brittle. The thermometer didn't seem to be working right. So, I'm thinking he over cooked the brittle. 

I sat and worked on my beading. 

There isn't much change from the last time. With only 2 rows getting done. It's a slow process and ...

 This morning I was just moving around. Didn't get into anything because we needed to be in Olympia by 1 pm. 

We headed out at noon, stopping at the bank first. Then headed up to Kaiser. We both had to have blood work done. When we arrived and took a number, I had 11 people in front of me. We didn't have to wait long. Funny thing was, the gal that took my blood couldn't get finished with the paperwork and was stuck. So, I ended up waiting for the other gal to come in. She hadn ...

This morning, I was out the door heading to the bank. But guess what, it's a holiday! So, I will have to stop tomorrow.  

I met up with Sandy and Gerilyn. We had a good meeting. Gerilyn brought us bread with soup. So, we had an awesome lunch! I had to have more. The soup was veggies, noodles and meat. All was very tasty. I think she even surprised herself! 

I was able to finish this butterfly up. I couldn't find my black thread so then I sat and chatted. When I started picking everything up, then I ...

Today I was sleeping in. It's Saturday and I really didn't want to get up. So, I stayed in a warm bed. We had snow again last night and this afternoon. We keep dropping in temperatures. All week we have been under a weather warning. 

I pretty much played games till I decided to get my butt up and go work on my beading. 

I was able to get 4 rows in today and I started working on it around 3 pm. Once can see the ear in the corner left. The brick is really coming out as ...

 Today I didn't want to get up. Mostly because my reflex decided to keep me up. I had a hard time getting to sleep much. 

Then it was a day of this and that. I worked on the water system bookkeeping to close out 2023. I needed Patrick's help because I had the books a little off. It's now balanced, and the year is closed out. If I ever get audited, then everything is good to go.  Then I vacuumed (with a little help from Patrick). He did laundry and I folded the clothes. 

Debbie stopped by ...

This morning I didn't want to get out of bed till 9:30 and even then, it was questionable. I just wanted to stay in bed. That's not like me, but I think I'm just getting tired of what's to come.  

I spend a good part of the morning and part of the afternoon playing games. Trying to not think of things that are going on. 

Then Patrick said I should go out and walk. When I looked outside it was raining. The day was so gloomy that it's no wonder I didn't want ...

Today I woke to snow. 

Had my video chat with my oncologist. She could see me but I couldn't see her. She's going to try and get that fixed for the next visit. She had my surgery date before I did. We talked about what we may or may not do. I have to see a radiologist to see if they are going ...

Today I was up and ready to get moving. Patrick was telling me I need to do more than just play games. Debbie was coming over today at 11. I decided to go out when she leaves. 

I called the nurse to let her know the results where there. She had the surgeon call me. Everything looks good - but there is a question on the "margins" of what was taken out. They think they got it all, but need to be sure since I wasn't in the "margins." So, now I wait to see when the next surgery is ...
