A Good Day
I had a dandy day yesterday! I felt like crap the night before so when I woke up Sunday morning, I was relieved to feel better. I took a shower, did some stuff around the house, read the paper and even ventured briefly outside to go to the credit union and to (unsuccessfully) pick up a Christmas gift for Simon. The boy only wants cash but I saw something in the paper I thought he'd like but they were sold out - expecting more this week. I might be back to cash after all.
I got caught up on all kinds of mail and paperwork - even filed my quarterly Pine Tree Designs sales tax early. I'm balancing my MS Money checkbook now, taking a break to write this.
I had to laugh at myself the other day. Obviously, I've been very careful about what I eat. This is good. Let this be the start of a new beginning. Then I heard a Tofurkey commercial on the radio. Hey, maybe I'll become vegetarian. I could do it. Maybe I need a complete change. I'll become born again about food. That's it!
Then I laughed out loud because I remembered eating pizza in my dream the night before! I was at work and took a bite of cheese pizza and as soon as my teeth clamped down, I spit it back out, "Arrgh!" Then I decided to pull the cheese off and eat the pizza.
(I know vegetarians eat pizza.) (Better go check my pillow, with these eating in my dreams stuff!)
Thanks, Dara, for your note about my new gall bladder free life. Gretchen had told me the same thing. I appreciate it. All the more reason to still watch what I eat, I guess.
I couldn't believe the ads in the paper yesterday - "Pre-Christmas Clearance Sale"?? JoAnn's has 70% off Christmas stuff - with a full week to go? I guess it makes a tiny bit of sense - crafters start Christmas stuff in August. Didn't see anything I couldn't live without.
Here are a couple of blurry photographs of framed paper quilts I made for an order. I finished the 2nd one last week and framed it. I included glass on these, which I don't normally do but I wanted them protected, since there are so many teeny pieces. I was feeling too crappy to keep trying to get better photographs so we're stuck with these until I make more.

Still rooting for you Stefani, hoping for the best.
The framed pieces are lovely. I especially like the green one. As for Christmas - my oldest daughter wants cash, but the younger one wants actual presents she can unwrap. The money is easier, but gifts are more fun, in my opinion.
I'm way behind on journals -- haven't visited you in awhile, I'm afraid. Good luck on the upcoming surgery. Way back when, when I had mine out, it was a big incision and a long recovery. I don't think it's like that anymore (I was 20, if that gives you any idea of how long ago it was! -- Cloud was a BABY). I had to wait seven months to have the surgery so I could get help with said baby, because I wouldn't be allowed to lift anything over ten pounds for weeks. He weighed that almost when he was born! Anyway, at the end, all I could eat was grilled fish and gingerale. Period. You'll come through this fine. Merry Christmas...
