Quiet Day - Thinking Of My Cancer - And Cleaning

This morning I slept till 10 am! What a shock! I have been doing that more lately and for some reason when I was showering, I wondered if that is because my body is fighting off the cancer. Probably not, but it was a thought.  Then my mind wondered again on this. My biopsy "spot" hasn't quite healed. It's still there like a cut that doesn't want to heal. It is still a little tinder but not enough to worry about. AND of course, my mind wondered again - what if that biopsy put a hole in the "encapsulated" cancer and now it's seeping out. Okay, my mind is getting too far off course. I think it's funny how I try to find everything out there that could happen. Yet, I know deep down that it's breast cancer that is the one to have if I have breast cancer. I need to just suck it up and wait till the surgery in December. I have things to do and places to go, I don't need to think about stuff like that. 

So, I got moving and put laundry in. Got my exercises done and even got back to walking! I walked the full 7 rounds. Once that was done, I had to cut some backing and batting for Colleen as she was coming to pick it up to quilt her quilt. She sent me a photo and she's another "artsy" quilter that is pretty good. I take what I can get. I also ordered more batting and backing. All while working on the laundry. 

Then Patrick came home and I was busy with QOV stuff. I sent out an email thanking everyone for their hard work this year. I also reminded them of the potluck next month. I was working on the computer a couple hours. Funny how I can't remember all the stuff I did on the computer. 

I fixed some sweet potato fries in the oven. Once that was done, I cooked some fish for supper. It actually turned out pretty good. I'm not that good at cooking fish, but found I did a pretty good job at it! Thank goodness. Even Patrick thought it was good. 

Then it was time to do some beading. 

Panel #1 is done. I guess I forgot to take a photo of it finished - as this was the photo on my phone that looked like it was done! I will do that tomorrow. 


So then I started the second panel - or I thought I did! This one is all wrong!! I did 20 beads instead of 22 beads when I started. I was trying to figure out why the rows weren't working out right.....Yep...it took me to 12 rows to figure that out!! What the heck! Normally I see it in the first 2 rows....NOT tonight! So, I sat and took the beads out and called it done! I will start it again tomorrow and make sure it's 22 and NOT 20 beads! UGH

My day was quiet and it was busy. I had busy times and then down times, then busy times, and back to down times. I should have worked on the quilt downstairs but I haven't had the chance. I need to do that this week so it can go to a quilter and get done! NO MORE EXCUSES.....so I tell myself. Oh, well, at least I'm trying to be Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!

Still Not In The Mood

Today Patrick was up before me. He's still hunched over in pain. Can't get him to go to urgent care. He tells me it a muscle and jus...
