This Week Out Does Last Week

This morning I was out the door by 9:30 am. I ended up turning around and coming back because is was garbage and recycling day. I missed the garbage pick up but did get the recycling out there. Patrick got his weeks mixed up and didn't think it was this week. Then I was back on the road to pick up Dan.

We made it just in time for his appointment, then I was off to my appointment. I was done in a good amount of time. We talked a lot about my family. I'm learning to accept things as they come. Afterward I headed back to pick up Dan. Then we stopped so I could get gas at Costco. We have been having a good "mom and son" chat. We talk about all kinds of things. I love having that connection with him.

Came home and was finally home by 1:30 pm. I didn't think it would be that long, but the day just went fast.

I got Sandy's Birthday gift put together, worked on laundry (oops, think I need to put some in the dryer!). I picked up a little and listened to my audio book to finish the 5th CD. I have 3 more to go. This is really a good book!!

I baked my sour dough bread. It turned out great - it's garlic bread. I love the way it came out. Patrick thought it was good too. I just wish I could have toasted the garlic better.

It was like I told my counselor, I have been trying to get 30 mins a day of some form of crafting. So, I decided I needed to get back to beading - NOT what you think....


I have been beading on my lap top computer. I use a pad that works for keeping the beads from running all over the place. I copied my word chart for Sandy, because the one I wrote for her wasn't done right. I am over half way done. I need to work on getting this and another one done. It's going to be awhile to try and get a total of at least 3 ornaments done. That means my beading on the tapestry will be hit and miss. If Patrick keeps watching his shows, I'll get to work on the tapesty. When it's shows I want to see, I will work on my lap and get more done. That's the only way I can get moving on both of my beading projects. I need to get my first set of snowman put together. I'll work on that later, I'm hoping to do 2 at a time. Keeping my fingers crossed.

So, what did I mean when I said this week out does last week - well, today I was gone, tomorrow is my breathing test again up in Tacoma. Then later on it's a Birthday party I have to make appearances in.  Wednesday is another test in Olympia, then taking mom to her eye appointment, and then bowling. Oh, and did I mention my nephew is in town? Well, in between the appointments on Wednesday, I will be visiting him and his family.  Now, Thursday is another day up in Olympia with Dan, but taking mom along so I can take her to Costco. My car is going to need gas AGAIN by Wednesday or Thursday and I just filled it up today. Friday - SO FAR - will be MY DAY.  I'm already tired of this week. But life is life and I need to get my health back in order. Not that it is bad, my health is good, but there are a few things that have popped up that need to be checked out. My breathing is normal but my lungs only expand to 66%, so we are trying to figure out why. That explains why I get out of breath at time. I'm healthy compared to a lot of my friends.

Even though it's busy, I am trying to find time to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
