I should be losing weight
just from all the sweating I've been doing this week. Sheesh.
Trying to get stuff out of the storage unit to dump, and planning it in this heat is getting interesting.
But it is now planned, and tomorrow it will be executed, and the final separation of stuff between george and I begins. -
this past year
Has been up and down and all over. The past year has seen the arrival of four granddaughters, one loss of a marriage, trials, decisions and growth. Many of those days were dark days indeed, and I thank my friends for sticking by and holding my hand when needed, offered a shoulder, or a boot to the backside ( Read more... ) -
Old friends
Met up with someone tonight I haven't seen in a number of years, gave her a ride home. In those 20 minutes, much was said, and yet, much more needs to be said. Gads, catchup takes a long time. Much coffee must be imbibed ( Read more... ) -
riding
whoa. three trips around the park is 5 miles, so sweet. think I'll go do two or three this morning. Work will give me a bit of walking. Today's brain is better after the past weeks, and soon the things that I have had to put to the side will get done.
well, off to ride. -
Happy Father's day

hot....sewing...stuff
Tennis elbow is us. Really bad case in my left arm. Yesterday met with a different pt, and he found one of the tendons that goes up from my outer wrist to inner elbow all kinds of tight and inflamed. After massage, exercise and back to work, it got a bit swollen by bedtime. Sleep was fitful and short all night ( Read more... ) -
Sewing linen
So the one new gown for this year in linen, white, handsewn, I put a side gore on the wrong piece....so one side piece of linen has two half gores instead of one half gore with a full gore that goes BETWEEN on the middle seam. *sigh*
Ripping will commence later. -
Soreness
Of the happy kind. After going to see the roomie's mother, stopped to replace the grill tank, then home to plant the bulbs. That was fun. Fingers got rather COLD playing in the dirt, but hey, I had fun. That's all that counts, isn't it? After that came raking up the winter leaves from the back yard and clearing leaves from the bushes. While ( Read more... ) -
Novice Schola
What an event. I overdid the standing *again* so was exhausted and in pain by the time I got home. But what fun! My class had not one adult in it, but 5 young ladies ranging in age from (I believe) 6 to 13ish (maybe 12...can't remember), and it rather apparent that I needed to change my agenda REALLY FAST. So. I look at five girls, two of which ( Read more... ) -
ooooo....calligraphy fun
So I have been working on the new hand for a few days now, got two of the letters down, but the d is gonna take a bit (ok a LOT) of work and tweaking for me to get it "right". Played with the letter forms yesterday by way of an impromptu "scroll" using all the letter of the alphabet. Like it enough that I will fix the middle sentence and actually ( Read more... )
