Trip To Olympia In The Rain

 Today, we had to be up and ready to leave. We needed to get mom to her appointment by 11 am. So, we went to pick her up at 10 am. 

We picked her up and had a few things we needed to do when we dropped her off. So, we took her to the dentist in Olympia that could take care of her root canal. They checked her out, then they came out to let Patrick and I know it would be an hour. I played on my phone for a bit and then got into my bag, that we have just for cases like this. I pulled out my embroidery. 

It's the hummingbird piece. I worked on the leaves. I needed to get the leaves done before I could move on to the next part. I worked on the leaves at the tip of the nest and then worked my way up where they were needed. I realized I should have done the top middle one first but thank goodness it doesn't look like I had it on top and not the bottom. I was working on the leave near the needle but didn't get much done. I will work on it more. I was surprised at how much I like this piece. Maybe I should move it to the embroidery bag and not the "just in case" bag. 

Took mom back home and took down her tree for her. Patrick boxed it up and has it ready to go up in the attic. I got the certificates from Nancy for tomorrow and was able to pick up my embroidery backpack I forgot at moms. 

Came home and started right away to get Patrick's cake done. He wanted his Chocolate Chip Date Cake that was his mother's recipe. Complaining he doesn't have anything to eat and yet, we have cookies, chocolate, popcorn and other stuff that was given to us for Christmas! Go figure! After the cake, I had to get the Chicken and Rice in the oven because it takes about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. 

At that point, I was done! Cooked and done! I was cleaning up the kitchen as I went. Then I put the Roomba 105 together. Katt got that for us and I set it up. App and all. 

Sophie wasn't too sure of it. She followed it as it mapped out the house. Then at 7 pm I had it running to clean the floors. It did a good job. It's a lot better than what I have been doing lately - nothing. It works great for what we need. 

I have been working on my game to get the rewards they have that end today. So, with about 8 accounts, it keeps me busy. I will get rid of a few if I can't transfer them where I am now. 

So, as much as I would have loved to do more embroidery, I'm happy with what I was able to do. I'm also enjoying myself by being Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
