Out And About

 Today was embroidery day. I had the fun part of getting coffee and tea for everyone. Then I arrived after Cindy and Gerilyn. Sandy E and Sandy V where after me. I pulled out my beading and got started. Cindy was excited from the time I arrived until halfway through. I told her a couple times to "tone it down." She can get excited. 

My older brother called to chat. He asked how things were going. I knew mom put him up to it. We chatted for a while and then I told him about my cancer. I also told him about mom on Friday. He laughed. He also told me about his foot. They are getting him ready for surgery to get his ankle replacement done. If that doesn't work, then he could lose his foot. But hopefully this will work. We talked about all kinds of things and it was good chatting with him. His QOV quilt is hanging at his church. I told him it wasn't made for the church it was made for him. He laughed and said he would get it back. It's just on display. 

We chatted a good hour. I missed out of our meeting because I wanted to talk to him. We rarely talk these days. 

I was able to get this far. I could have done more, but my phone chat took most of the meeting. I also ran out of wire, so I figured I would add the wire tonight. 

Got home and Patrick wanted to go out. I said that was fine. We went to the casino and played for a good 3 hours. Lost some money but we went to have fun. It's something to do. 

On the way home we stopped at Safeway and got the stuff we needed. I got more veggies for me. We didn't get supper there. Came home and I fixed myself a sandwich for dinner. Trouble is I had it close to 7 pm and I know I will pay for it this evening. Once I get to sleep, I hope I don't wake up in pain with reflux. Not fun! I usually try to eat before 6:30 pm every night. The earlier the better. I am doing a little better with eating better, so really can't complain. It will take time to work it in. 

The best part is that I was "sort-of" Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
