I'm a little late this morning. I did my 2-mile walk first today.
Yesterday was dr day here. Ugh. Now I'm on BP and cholesterol meds plus I got a pneumonia shot. Sigh. Then we got flu shots at Albertson's Pharmacy. I didn't need that as I had both shots years ago but she said my chart was unclear as to which ones I'd already gotten so I got a third one - on the house! lol! Covid boosters come next week.
I finished my motorcycle blocks and have them arranged on my "design floor". Scottie has learned to skirt them when he walks around. Foxy thinks I put them down for his comfort.
I hope to get them sewn together around my panel today and then start designing the last part of this quilt. I'm anxious now to get started on the two Nutcracker quilts. We leave for TX in about 9 weeks and I want to have them finished. It's a tall order but I'm going to give it the old Mary Z try!JANA - bummer about the dishwasher/sink. I actually don't mind doing dishes, but with all the family here for nearly a month, I was so grateful that Bill re-installed our old dishwasher that he'd taken out in anticipation of the new one. But plates is a small part of the load. There's cups, glasses, pans, bowls, silverware. You need a dog! Dogs can get everything sparkling clean in the flash of tongue! If it were 105* here I wouldn't be in the mood for anything except complaining! lol!
BECCA - I'm sorry for CA's UTI. No fun! Added to his other problems is unfair! I'm happy that you were able to get in a walk while Tina was with CA. And nice that she has a medical background, too. If I remember right I think you said she used to work as a nurse.
TINA - great that you found a good eye dr. I don't usually have issues with having my eyes dilated. Other than a headache. I found the best cure for a headache is to distract myself with something. Sewing works well for that! Thank you for the update on Irish. I worry about her relapsing.
CAROL - You are probably on the road by now, but Happy Anniversary! Italian dinner is the best dinner to celebrate! What did you have? Happy travels! You may hear rumors of Mt. Rainier "venting", but it was just an interesting cloud formation that got folks excited. All is well with our mountain.
LORI - Usually, I am up for 2 or 3 hours and then go back to bed. Unless it's after 4am. Then I stay up. Are you going to make that pinwheel pin cushion? I found a couple of unusual, very pretty, hand painted tea cups at Goodwill. I have them displayed on my buffet right now, but plan to make pincushions out of them.
I forgot to go grocery shopping yesterday. After my walk, dr appt, shots at pharmacy, dishwasher shopping at two places, cabinet shopping at Hab for Hum Re-Store (for garage) in Tacoma, Target to pick up Rx's, and then to the other end of town to pick up mail, I guess we were pooped out and totally spaced over the groceries. So maybe I'll get to that today. We don't have a single fresh thing in the house except for one avocado. But I've pulled pork chops from the freezer. We always split one and save one for the next night when we'll probably have pork stir fry - if I shop. I guess I'll find out what all we're having when we have it!
