It was 100 degrees Monday and Tuesday- schools all over closed half a day, because it was just too hot for the kids. Thunderstorms last night cooled things down all the way to the upper 80's, so today was bearable.
Mom came home from the hospital Friday, and is on a boatload of meds. They want keep her on the meds another 4 weeks before deciding what to do about the afib. She has an appointment in three weeks, so I'll go with her.
I actually got in some quilting time! I finished the top for Ben's Badass Whole Entire Quilt, and hope to quilt it this weekend. I also made the wallhanging that Steph designed- I hope she likes it. When she comes home this weekend, I'll get her to help me (translation: do it for me) put pictures up.
I also finished the afghan I was crocheting, but since it's for a gift, I won't put a pic up yet.
My youngest nephew, Jacob, turned 8 on Monday. Jacob is my brother Mike's youngest son. His big brothers are 23 and 21, and his big sister/cousin is 18, so Jake is well loved without being spoiled. He has the sweetest disposition! Jake and my Dad were real tight. When Dad died, I took all his jeans and flannel shirts and made Jake a quilt. One row is all pockets, which Jake thinks is really cool. The quilt weighs a ton, and will last for about ever. It's the kind of quilt that's meant to be dragged around.
I don't know how much I'll get done the rest of this week. Tomorrow night I go to a retirement dinner right after work, and Friday night is usually Suzy Homemaker night- I do the laundry, tidy up, and go to bed early.
