Wednesday again!

 Strange week. Saturday night I had an episode of vertigo, the second ever. I went to bed to sleep it off. I felt ok on Sunday, but Monday I felt foggy and nausea. I saw my NP Monday night, who said it was most likely residual effects from the episode, and they can just happen. She prescribed meclizan (antivert) but said to only take it if I get dizzy. Tuesday morning I felt much better. I hate that foggy feeling, as if I'd taken an antihistimine. 


 
Work in Progress! It's 22% done! Yesterday I worked on a lot of confetti, so it was slow going. 


 Manda and Ben took the kids skiing in Bend, OR, for the Prez Day break. They loved playing in the snow!

The end of the week

 I had a birthday! I'm now 71 years of fabulous! Goodness, that sounds so old! 



 I got the tablerunner assembled and quilted! It was for Heather, and she was here last night. She loved it! The backing has shamrocks on it.


 They  spent the long stupor bowl weekend skiing/snowboarding in W VA! The added two of Jules friends and Eddie's girlfriend and traded a timeshare week, so had a unit that slept 8. 


 Winter's Welcome is about 20% done!


 I saw this giant Sorry game on Amazon, and had to send it to Garrett and Amary. They will get it on Monday.

Sunday again!

 The days seem to fly by! Is it because I'm getting old?



 
I put this together yesterday, from 5 inch squares. It was a pack of Valentine's Day fabric squares. I needed the diagram to figure it out. It's a video from Missouri Quilts, called Zig Zag table runner. This one will be for Heather, when it's done.

This was yesterday morning, I did more on it last night. I'm 18% done. 

Today is Sunday, so lunch with Frank and Charlotte. Today is Longhorn Steakhouse. And tonight is the Stupor Bowl, so we're stopping for a hoagie for Ralph as he "watches" it.

Wednesday again!

 I like Wednesdays. It's midweek, and a lot of people post their works in progress on Facebook. Some quilt shops do a video on Wednesdays. 

Today started with an alert from my bank. Yep, debit card, which hasn't been used in quite a while, was hacked. So wind my way thru the automated system to get a real person, who cancelled the card and will send a new one. What a nuisance, and I'm thankful for the alerts. 

Today's plan is to go get my oil changed, then stop at the library to pick up books I'd requested.


 I moved the q snap to work on the right side of the XS project. I'm 15% in!

January stats, 12 books read, 11 on the kindle. No crocheting done, other than the first couple rounds of a baby afghan, just to get it started.

Basement steps done!

3 boxes of old sci fi books that Manda doesn't want, given away via the Pine Hill Chat group on Facebook! And Heather wants Sam's mom's Lane cedar chest that's been in the basement. 

And now, off to get the oil changed.

Sunny Sunday

 It's so nice out! Blue skies, temp in the 40's, and no snow! And I saved us money by not going out to breakfast! I made scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, and orange juice. So good!

 

Last night we got pizza from our favorite local pizza parlour, which we haven't done in months. A small gives us  dinner and a few slices left over. 


 Weekend update! It's looking so good!

Waffles Wednesday

 Our local breakfast/lunch spot is now offering a sandwich of scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese on a waffle. So good! So I went digging in the pantry and came up with my waffle maker!


 So big! We each had one. These two and the rest of the batter went into the fridge.

12% done! It's looking so good!

Rainy Thursday

 It's a rainy day. Better than a snowy day!


 Work in Progress! I'm 9% done!

We trekked to the grocery store yesterday, our first visit since Christmas! yikes! I was low on so many things, and had used my spares of so many things, that we couldn't put it off any longer. So now we're good to go.
