These are the things going on right now:
1. Eric's new chemo is making him very sick, so we spend a lot of time at the cancer Center while he is given fluids to help him with dehydration.
2. Working on quilting a Sampler quilt with a sampler of quilting designs. It is taking too long and I am having trouble with skipping stitches. I plan to put on a new needle and rethread everything tomorrow and hope it solves the problem.
3. I have to quilt a baby quilt size challenge and bind it before Monday when I have to have quilts at the Rahr-West in Manitowoc where the show will open on Dec. 8th. Speaker for official opening on Sunday Dec. 9th at 1:00. I won't be there for the opening (see number 5).
4. Before Monday I also have to get hanging sleeves on some other pieces, get hanging boards ready and also get all of the cat hair off of the quilts.
5. We will be flying down to Florida to see Jake. That's why I'll miss the quilt opening. I can't go another time because we are working around Eric's Chemo treatments. He and Jake are more important than a quilt show opening, anyway! We got a good deal with MetJet, a new airline making direct flights to Florida. For every ticket you buy you get 2 free. We'll use the free ones to take Eric and Ana down to FL when school's out this summer.
6. Ana had been much better- more mature- until she decided to be a *B* and cop an attitude with Rich and they've both been crabbing at each other. (Acting like little brats, both of them!) Tonight I told Ana she had to find a way to make it up with her grandfather if she plans to be spending more time here this summer (she asked to live here for the summer), and go to Florida, Disney, etc. I've had it!
7. I'm in a new art quilt group. Our first challenge is to take a song that has a color in it and make a quilt based on it. Size has to be the size of a record album. I have finally decided the techniques I am going to try for this quilt. Nothing is set in stone, of course, but I have my direction. I really want to work on it, but I have all of these other things that have to be done first (see 1-6 above). Soon, though, soon.
8. I am also going to start art journaling. I need a way to work through all of this stuff that is going on in my life. Blogging isn't private enough.
9. I also need to get my butt in gear and lose weight and exercise. But I also need to love myself the way I am. This is a contradiction of issues. I guess I have to get to a compromise at some point. Love myself enough to take care of myself... Sigh.
10. Life just seems to be so out of control, and I need to find a way to cope with it. I'm not doing that so well right now. Oh well, life goes on, and I must, too.
