SUPPER CLUB - Friday, March 5th

Post by purrfect-lady » Fri Mar 05, 2021 6:31 am

Good morning!

We're 44* and will be drizzly most of the day. Hard to go backwards like this when we were almost 60* and sunny 2 days ago.

Bill got his 2nd Moderna shot yesterday afternoon. Through the night he felt a bit nauseated and like he was coming down with flu, but this morning he's OK. Just a little tired and his arm is kind of sore. I may let him slide on chores today. I have chiro after my morning walk and then I'll probably goof off in my sewing room. I want to finish off my little summer wall-hanging. and I'll cut more DWR wedges. If I make the queen quilt I'll need about 1300 wedges. I'm considering making it a little smaller because I'm thinking Autumn would rather put this quilt over a couch than on her bed.

Yesterday we found about 2 wheelbarrow loads of leftover cement dumped on Vicki's property close to the road. We had seen a cement truck at one of the new homes two days before and Lori, my walking buddy, said she and her DH saw a man wheelbarrowing something across the road and dumping it on Vicki's property. Bill took pictures and talked to the homeowner where we saw the cement truck. He called his contractor, who denied he had dumped it, but came anyway and cleaned up the mess. Then the homeowner came to our house later to introduce himself and let us know it had been taken care of. We're pretty sure it was his contractor and the contractor lied. We let Ben, Vicki's SIL, know what had happened.

MARY ROSE - How are you feeling after your 2nd shot? And did you find some border fabric? Be a shame if you had to go fabric shopping, now, wouldn't it? :D When is your next doctor appt?

CAROL - That is funny about the zombie story. Does she really think zombies exist?? I wonder where this girl rests on the IQ scale! And yes, I'm staying with batiks, my first instinct, for my DWR but I decided to use up my batik scraps and FQ's first rather than cut up my larger pieces of yardage.

TINA - glad you got your shot. How did your dad do? Sorry Holly isn't feeling well after her first shot. I would hate living in such a windy, dusty area. Vacuums and I don't get along, so there would be problems!

LORI - nice to get some of the smaller projects all finished up. I'm going to do that, too, today, with my little 6x21" wall hanging. I think I might give it to my younger sis, Teese, for her April birthday. I already have a pair of potholders and a set of pillowcases I made for her. And yes, I sure do know about black and pet hair! And Autumn has 3 cats and Antonio has 2 little dogs. This is one reason I'm thinking she would probably prefer to put this quilt on a couch back rather than her bed. :lol:

JANA - a rediscovered 5 yards of TOT white is quite a find! I keep hoping your machines call you soon, wanting to come home to mama! Have you tried calling the shop? They can blame Covid for only so long. Once, for our pick-up, our Dodge dealer said they couldn't get the part and it would be a long time until they could fix whatever was wrong. Bill went on-line, ordered the part himself, and took it to the dealer and said, "Now, fix it!" And they did.

IRISH - did you get your shot yet? Is your foot all healed yet?

BECCA - Are you doing OK now after your shot and it's after-effects?

You may have noticed CHICKIE hasn't been around much. First, her arthritis in her hands has flared and she has a very hard time typing. But the past few weeks she has been in and out of the hospital and ER. She has been diagnosed with two strokes plus a series of TIA's. She still isn't right and is on the hunt for a dependable doctor. She could really use some prayers. Things are tough for her right now

I'm still thinking over our supper options here. We could do burgers if Bill wants to grill. Our deck is covered but it will still be damp and 46* at supper time. Other ideas are pasta or stir-fry chicken & veggies. We'll see what happens at 5pm.

What's happening at suppertime at your house?

Happy, blessed morning to each of you this morning. Other than a sore arm and neck this morning, all is well after the covid shot.

Jana-hopefully you will get your call today that your machines are in and ready to come home. I bet Andrew enjoyed being able to spend time with you.

Prayers for Chickie.

I have an appointment on the 16th for a lung scan. Yesterday the gastroenterologist finally called me back and wants me to make an appointment toward the end of March to consult on the results of the completed tests. He is also putting in an order with his office for the camera study, which the office is suppose to set up and call my with the date. I was starting to get frustrated though, because somewhere along the line it seems that the main reason (the acute anemia) has dropped by the wayside. I told the Dr. when we were talking on the phone yesterday that my concerns are finding the root cause of the anemia.

Tina- sorry Holly had such a hard time with her shot. How are you doing this morning from yours?

Today I will continue to audition fabrics for the borders on the LK quilt.

Last night's supper ended up being pizza. Today there will be something out of the chicken I mentioned yesterday. This morning I am going to make some some biscuits and gravy with some sausage and eggs.

Mary, thanks for info on Mariam. I hope she'll be okay. I'm not surprised that a contractor would do that. He probably thought he could get away with dumping the concrete if nobody saw him.
I'm sure it's not the first time he's done it.

Hi Mary/rose. Hope you get the results and can figure out what's going on.

I finished up one table runner yesterday, and want to finish quilting another today.

Dinner will be chicken and potatoes on the grill with broccoli.

Have a lovely day.

Good morning!

Thanks for the info on Chickie. Many prayers for her.

Mary - once we too had a contactor wash all the cement down the gutter, towards the street drain. One major problem, the drain was on the high side and we were the low spot! So Michael went up and informed them that they would come and shovel up and remove the mess, now! They did and we didn't need to call for Concord's finest.

Andrew is spending the night. He is not a meat eater, so we will make stuffed pasta shells, with a cheesy spinach filling, salad and my yummy garlic bread. I will teach him to make chocolate crepes for dessert.

The shop that repairs the machines, sends them out to one guy. Mine needed a new part and it was in last week. They only have one of my machines. I am sewing on my backup machine. Sarah has the exact same machine, as my backup, and hers is making a funny noise. She wants to have it looked at, but can't until my good machine is back. That way, she will use the backup at her house. Sarah is saving her pennies to buy a new machine, just like my good machine, without the embroidery part. Sarah likes all the bells and whistles on mine.

My magazine holders will arrive early - tomorrow. I can get to sorting and get back in good sewing order. My sew along kit arrived and the fabrics are such bright and spring-y colors! Just what is needed.

Well, time to get something done!

Hugs,
Jana

Good morning!
Oh my goodness Mary, that's terrible that the contractor would do that. He probably thought it was abandoned but still he shouldn't have. Dad did great with his second shot, he didn't feel it and said he was fine several times yesterday when I called him several times to make sure.... he probably thinks I'm a pest LOL He called first thing this morning to tell me his arm hurts and he woke up every hour last night but he feels ok. He said he was going to move his arm around to see if it helped. Holly is still super sore. Mine hurt a little when I woke up.... along with other spots LOL I think those other spots were from over doing it yesterday plus they told me not to lay on my right arm where I got the injection. Let me tell you, my body isn't used to laying on one side all night, I went from back to left side over and over but it still had me creaky this morning. But Frankie came to the rescue, he tracked clumps of dirt in so I had to get the vacuum out and poof, the soreness went away..... he's lucky there was a benefit to me vacuuming. I told Holly to vacuum so it'll work the soreness out.
Mary, 1300?! 😱 Are you sure? Maybe you made a type-o?
Maryrose, that's soooooooo frustrating....I don't understand why these dr's take so long. I know if it were them getting tests and such they wouldn't be waiting weeks. I sure hope they get it figured out soon. You'll need to be putting in for longer leave of absence, maybe you should tell them that you're the only paycheck coming in and you need this process to hurry along?
Jana, your supper sounds yummy! I sure hope you get your machine back today! That's gotta be so frustrating. I have a backup but it doesn't have the big throat like my regular one has.
Lori, I was thinking about grilling too but the wind is blowing and I'm not fond of the grit the sand leaves LOL I think I need to do a table runner 😊
Prayers for Chickie 🙏
Yesterday was a busy day, I made my bed, cooked breakfast, cleaned the kitchen, did 7 loads of clothes and got those all put away, made lunch and cleaned the kitchen again, cleaned both bathrooms and mopped the whole house after Frankie vacuumed. Having him vacuum was like pulling my own teeth, he thought he should only have to vacuum downstairs 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ it took him 3 different times of vacuuming and putting the vacuum up to get him to finish.... geesh! But at least he did it! Our front porch needed a shovel in spots, that blowing dirt yesterday was really bad at times. I called the county, still waiting to hear back.... they know me though....I won't just let it slide.
Well Mary had me in the mood for grilled burgers but we only have 2 and it's Dad's night plus the wind is blowing so now I gotta search the freezer for supper, I'm a forager LOL

I agree Jana, I was like Wow she's speedy doing embroidery if she's down to the last 2 blocks! I couldn't even have 1 finished yet!
High 5 to you Becca!
