Election Day

 Today Patrick headed out for golfing.  I slept another hour before getting up. I got laundry going and walked my 7 laps. 

Came on in and vacuumed.  Just as I finished Patrick came home. 

He set us up with BritBox. So, instead of waiting the news, I watched 2 shows of 'Vera' while he napped.  Plus beaded.

Two thirds of the last panel is now done. I will work on finishing it tomorrow.  

We went from the election news to watching shows on BritBox. 

I am really concerned if Trump gets in. A convicted felon!!! OMG what is this country coming to?? He is going to side with Russia and China. We are screwed! Ok, enough of my political views. Won't post any more! 

At least I was able to calm down and bead today, which kept me Happy Beading/Happy Quilting!

Embroidery Day

 We had our embroidery meeting today. Mom and Sandy's friend made 5 of us. We had a good meeting with mom chatting up a storm. 

I got more done on my Space Needle. Sandy said I should add a picnic tablet. At first I was wondering why, the she said,  "you mentioned the picnic table that your grandmother said was the Taylor picnic table." That was on Alki Point in Seattle.  Back when there wasn't a lot of people going there. Like a secret.  When I visited with cousin Cindy 10 years ago, it was still there. But the place was so crowded,  I couldn't believe it was the same place. 

Stopped at Connie's and Colleen's.  Had to drop a quilt off at mom before getting 2 from Colleen.  

Came home and put stickers on another 100 flyers.  Need to do a few more before getting them to Val.

Decided to relax and play games. At least today, I was able to get a lot done on my Space Needle.  Just need a good floss for top and bucket that goes up. That turned out to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!

Another Weekend Over

 Patrick and I enjoyed sleeping in. 

Since I didn't do much of anything yesterday, I didn't bother posting. It was one of those days that I didn't feel like doing anything.  I did listen to my book on tape.  And I sat and played games.

This morning I got busy cleaning. I started laundry before walking 7 laps. I wanted to stop at 6 laps but told myself I needed this walk. 

Came in and got back to cleaning. Got the dishwasher unloaded. Then sat to play games and play my games. 

Finished one of two panels. This is the last panel,  then I put the two ornaments together. I am looking forward to getting these done. I gave my bracelet to Sam at the museum.  I will do another one later. 

Now that a few things are done, and I am getting closer to finishing the ornaments,  I was happy about today. I am a little worried about election.  Right and wrong doesn't seem to matter to people,  including my brother.  I think I am stressing more than I should.  

At least my crafts keep me sain. That why I like being Happy Beading/Happy Quilting!

Rainy, Boring Day

This morning it was raining so Patrick didn't golfing. Almost wish he had.

I walked 4 lap with Patrick and 3 laps on my own. It started raining again in the last 2 laps. 

Got mad at Patrick.  I had my ear buds in after he left me. He even saw me put them in. Came in the house and he started talking. Stopped my ear buds to listen. Then he shut up. I waited and he didn't say anything.  Turned the buds back on and he started talking again. He got frustrated with me because I had them in. I told him it wouldn't matter, every time I listen to my book, he starts talking. When I shut them off, he doesn't talk to me. I could sit and watch TV with him and he doesn't say a word. Ear buds in and then he wants a conversation.  We walked 4 laps and he had nothing to say. Came in the house and he starts talking.  UGH!

I put them in and beaded, was too frustrated with him when he stopped talking and I waited 30 mins. Gave up and listened to my book all afternoon while beading.

Finished the second panel. Now have 2 of the first and second panels. I started the last set of panels. Once these get done I can put them together.  

I beaded while it was raining.  I enjoyed the rain, being Happy Beading/Happy Quilting!
