So Little Time - So Much To Do

First, EJ (Grandson) was over again today. He sure is the light of our life. Time flies when he is here.

Today would have been my dad's 87th birthday. I guess it doesn't matter how old we get, we still miss our parents.

Quilting wise - I still have the gross grain ribbon to put on the two quilts for church. I just have to get those finished and out of the house and off to folks who can put them in the hands (or should I say laps) of folks who really need them.

I have a couple of quilts cut out - one is a doll quilt. I've started it. It's only 9 blocks, backing, and border. However, it's going to take me some time because I plan to hand quilt it, so that I can get some practice because I want to hand quilt another quilt I have planned.

The other quilt that I have cut out is a small lap quilt - again for church. A guy quilt - guy things in the print. I'll machine piece and quilt it. I need to just do a little on each on them each day, if I can at all.

I started knitting on my first ever pair of socks. The yarn is delightful. It is so soft. The pattern is Swirl Socks and the yarn is Kollage. I just started the first sock last night and already I have thirty rows. I know, I know - that's not much. Remember I have fibromyalgia and we had our 2 year old delightful grandson today. I'm exhausted and IN PAIN, shall I say.

Oh, yeah. My good friend Kathi called and she's been having WEEKS - not just DAYS at work. She thought about who her craziest friend is and so she came over and we yakked and yakked.

She was a labor and delivery nurse for years and then an attorney. Can't tell you what she does now. You can imagine that we already had lots of secrets after 30 years.

She wasn't living here and we had lost temporary touch when I went through breast cancer. Well, I'm going through the tests to see if the cancer is back. It's worse every time going through the scares. The first time I knew when I left my primary care physicians' office. This time no one is sure yet, so I had to go the surgeon. He's not sure, so I have to go have a unilateral mammogram and an ultrasound - and the waiting for each appointment is awful. Geez! And in the meantime - I go for my first six month appointment to the oncologist - go figure.

Your Thinking is Abstract and Sequential

You like to do research and collect lots of information. The more facts you have, the easier it is for you to learn. You need to figure things out for yourself and consider all possibilities. You tend to become an expert in the subjects that you study. It's difficult for you to work with people who know less than you do. You aren't a very patient teacher, and you don't like convincing people that you're right.

What Kind of Thinker Are You?

To each, have a blessed, peaceful day!
