Productive Day - Sort Of

 This morning, Patrick was up way before me. He was going to go golfing, but the weather was still rainy and windy. So, he was watching the news. 

I was up and found the water was off. Patrick had to go check on the well. Then he called our systems "people" and they found that the motor was buried out. So, after 8 hours of no water, they fixed the problem. I needed to get my accounting updated, so I balanced the checkbook, and then wanted to add some income in there. EXCEPT I got a message asking me if I wanted to do something, like clear my "fix" and said yes. It wiped out the enter accounting back to 2024!! So, I was cussing when Patrick came to see what was up. I hadn't backed it up since 2023, so that didn't help at all! Patrick looked for an "undo" button on what I did - and NOPE wasn't there. 

SO, I ended up getting the bank records Patrick printed out each year. We had our meeting in September, so the good news was that he had all the information up to Sept. Which meant I still needed to record it all back in. I did the billing for next year, and thank goodness, I had who owed till the end of the year. My deposits where the problem because I didn't have who made what deposit. Thank goodness for those billing statements! We were able to get the bookkeeping back where it was. I have backed up the program twice now. I'm thankful I keep my records in the checkbook updated! If I didn't have that and relied completely on the computer, I would be in deep, deep trouble. 

Once all that was fixed, I pulled out the dogs that I need to have appliqued and finished for the baby quilt. 

I love my lightbox. I was able to get the second dog ready to applique, then I can do the embroidery. I know I need to do the round robins but I'm holding off on that right now. One thing at a time. 

I used the back basting method. I like it. I will work on this after the other one is done. Sophie wasn't happy I was working on this. She kept licking and pushing my hand to pay attention to here. I was able to get it done though. 

I marked the areas where I needed to work on the outlining. I worked on some of it tonight. I can finish this tomorrow if I put my mind to it. I'm getting farther on this. Once it's done, I will take it to moms, and she can add it to the other blocks. 

I decided to call it done for the day. Too much was going on today! It's called, - What A DAY! 

At least I was able to find time for Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
