The pillows are done and have been picked up. The pay was more than I had asked for. Becky was really pleased with the pillows, so I guess the sore fingers were worth it. Now onto another project. This new one will be a baby blanket as a gift for my neighbor. She is having a little boy in July.
Ed must have felt pretty good yesterday as he did a lot of rearranging and started to clean up his office area. One side of my living room is his office and the other side is my craft room.
It is way too hot way too early. We have had a very mild winter which usually means a really hot summer. Oh, well,
The money I got for the pillows is the start of my NC trip. Also someone ordered 4 butterflies. They are small, but that will be $20. more towards my trip..
Everyone have a very carefree wacked out Wednesday.

excellent news on the pillows and the butterfly order. her extra money for the pillows is evidence of your fine work. with your drive i'm sure you'll have that money.
nice to hear that ed was feeling better yesterday. sorry that an early summer is getting there. it's no fun to deal with that heat.
i'm having a little GI trouble from anxiety, but it'll pass. i'm as prepared as can be. i just wish mother didn't have this closing at an unknown time. nothing i can do about that either. i'm going to finish the dishes this morning and prepare to empty my cupboards for the exterminators friday which i hope is over before i have to leave for the dr appt.
penny, my little sweetie, is laying here between my feet with her head resting on one. such a joy.
wishing all a low pain, low stress day.
just taking it as i can and
Grammagus...your projects sound cute! I have absolutely no crafting or sewing abilities at all!!!
Serenity...you will do great!! You are well prepared!! I get being anxious though. I hate things like that. Let us know how it goes!!
As for me...my brother and I are taking my dad out to lunch. It's his 75th b-day today. Ohh how I would rather just stay in bed!! But I do want to see him today. This afternoon won't work so early lunch it is!
Have a great day everyone

Grammagus, congrats on finishing the pillows & getting more than what you expected plus selling the butterflies! Great job! I'll bet the baby blanket will be beautiful when finished. I'm glad Ed is feeling a little better. Please be careful should you have to go out in those high temps. Hope you have a relaxing day.
Serenity, I have no doubt that you'll do great at the meeting. I hope your mom will be able to make it. I don't envy you having to empty all those cupboards, please pace yourself.
Autumn, happy bday to your Dad! I hope you have a wonderful lunch with him & your brother. I hope the rest of your afternoon is relaxing and you'll be able to take time out to baby your back.
I could have used some light bubble wrap this morning. I was sitting on the edge of my bed & I must have dozed off as I repeated the face plant when I broke my ankle. Thankfully I didn't land too hard. I twisted my low back & tweaked my R arm & leg but nothing serious.
I received a letter from my spine Dr yrsterday stating he wants me to see one of the other partners in the group as he specializes in the cervical area and he would be there for that appt. He feels my symptoms are suggestive of myelopathy. Oh, did I mention his letter is based off of the first set of scans not the current cervical & thoracic MRI ....idiot! I was shocked to see the letter as it was dated on Mon & that was his first day back after a week long vacation, can anyone say rushed! Uuugh! Needless to say at 8am his nurse will be getting a call from me. Yes I'll be nice, but also firm...idiot. Between no sleep, the letter & the fall I am not a happy camper, but I know this too shall pass.
Wishing all an uneventful low pain/stress kinda day!
Hugs & God Bless

Hugs.... Gram magus,.. Serenity,.. Autumn,.. N all to follow...... Wishes up, for a comforting n totally manageable day,. Today...
Still learning about this gizmo, , it's cool... Sneaking off to bed, sooo tired n sore,.. Wacky Weird weather induced I think.. N sigh,.. A dear IRL, friends Grandfathers funeral tomorrow... He was/is a Loving soul and a true ole gent. Hmmm..
Super Wackey Sparkles are up for today dear friends.... N hopes that Spring time buzz is starting to come along soon..... . I like Spring......... (((Hugs,. Huhs))))))
Grammagus, that's great news about the pillows and butterflies. I'm glad Ed is feeling better. We had the worst winter ever in Boston, I'll trade you the heat anytime.
Serenity, you'll do fine honey. You're very prepared so not to worry, but I understand the anxiety. Let us know how it goes.
Lisa, a lot od drs still do work on vacations. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions about him rushing the letter. He may have taken files home with him. I have a few dr. Friends who do that. You need to not sit on the edge of anything after being up all night. You're goung to get seriously hurt one of these days. I worry about that. I onow you stay up all night, so you really can't afford any other injuries. I hope you feel better.
Seek, I'm so glad you're enjoying your IPAD! It's about time you had some fun. Renay loves hers for playing games as well as keeping up on Facebook. She doesn't go anywhere without hers. I'm glad you like yours. I hope you get some great sleep honey.
Autumn, I hope you have a great brunch with dad. Happy birthday to him. I'm glad your brother is going with you. Get some rest later if you can honey.
I was up till 4:00 so a little tired today, but it's supposed to be in the 40's today. Not bad, now we just need the snow to stay away. Just the gym today for me. I hope everyone has a great day with low pain
Love and hugs,

Grammagus congrats on the sales! Always good to hear when Ed has a good day :) Don't forget to take breaks for yourself!
Serenity waiting is always the hardest part! Hope your mom can get out on time and you make it to this long awaited appt. Penny sounds so adorable :)
Happy Birthday to your dad Autumn! Have a great time with him and your brother :) Make some good memories!
Goodness Lisa a sure sign to get to bed and stay there! Hope there isn't any serious damage done. Check up on that other docs office soon and make sure he/she got that copy! Dang doctors!
Seek so sorry to hear about your friend's Grandfather, always a sad time. Many blessings to all. Glad you're liking your IPad :). Hope you get to feeling better and can catch those zzzz's.
ME that's almost a heatwave for you! Spring is trying to get here, I think we'll see a few more cold days maybe a little snow even...........but it's trying! Hope you squeeze a nap in today.
I was up early myself and kept trying to get back to sleep, but didn't happen. Have to get my meds refilled and bet I get a nap in sometime today. The rain's gone, but it's very foggy...like the fog :) Wouldn't want it all the time though.
A good day to all..........keep those levels down!
Love and Hugs,
Toni

im so sorry i havent been my normal posting self, just trying to catch my bearings is all. been running crazy since feb 13th til now. lots going on. now i think i can settle in some ...at least until august. most of us are excited about our new weekly DID group therapy sessions. its so wonderful to hear stories that i can relate to...socialize in and possiblly make new friends. we will see. so far its just me hubby my online friends and my one friend that wants to hang out with me all the time but im too paranoid to. i know i know...i seem sooo bubbly on here but truth is, im isolated paranoid skeptical and simply afraid to be around pepple.
hopefully i will loosen up in real life. man oh man i sure hope so. anyhoo...ive written a novel so i best stop here. thanks for accepting me here. much love to the Circle
mother's closing went from being postponed to being back on, so we didn't have time to visit dad. another day. pain was kicking up and i'm pretty much flatlining, but quite satisfied.
i read all the posts. i really appreciate everyone's encouragement and faith. hoping the day worked out well for all. big hugs and lotsa love!
