Note To Self

Sitting at the sewing machine for 8 hours plus in one day while fun and productive will irritate the hell out of ones fibromyalgia and you will PAY for it for at least a week. Remember this! Ok, now that I put that in writing maybe I will remember it next time. I keep catching myself thinking "why does my neck, back, shoulders, arms etc hurt so much?" Oh yeah, the marathon sewing session. Hopefully it will let up in the next couple of days. Please.
At any rate the 6 blankets I started the other day are now finished. I think they turned out pretty good. Here are pics of each of them.





The baby bird from yesterday was gone by the time I got up in the afternoon. I suppose it could have possibly got away somewhere but I'm guessing it's much more likely that some neighborhood cat was wandering through and found himself a tasty snack. I felt really bad about it but kept telling myself that it was already unwell when I saw it and if Sadie had still been here it would have already been dead as she would have killed it.
Not much else happening. I work Saturday night and then I'm done. I'm done with all the drama and crap that's happened with this job and I'm so looking forward to my new position and my new hours. (oh hell, I just did something that shrunk my screen down so small I can't even hardly read this). It doesn't look like my days I need off will be a problem at all which is good. I'm getting excited about going to Vegas. And seeing the Lion King.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Your blankets are impressive! I'm sorry that making them caused your fibromyalgia to flare.

I hope that your new position is a great fit and that your trip to Vegas is a relaxing getaway. I love, love, love The Lion King and saw it twice when it was in Hollywood. (-;

Thanks so much for your supportive comment on my letting go post.
