What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

This morning, Patrick was up before me. I guess he was more excited about going to the casino than I was. We got ready. I worked on a couple things before getting ready to go. Debbie wanted to come over, and Patrick wanted to leave, so she decided to come later after we got back. 

We went to Lucky Eagle Casino. We were there close to 6 hours. We won in the beginning. Then we were done to $100. Next thing we knew we were back up there. I ended up winning a jackpot of $1092, which got us up ...

This morning, I waited on Patrick while he went go get a couple things done. He had to get chlorine for the well. That's a monthly thing. 

When he got home, we headed to Olympia for me to get a test done. Then we headed to Lucky Eagle casino to play for a bit. We got there around noon and played till 3 pm, since he needed to get back for a district meeting. We actually did good this time. We came home with $1200 more than we thought we would. It will keep us going for a while ...

 This morning, we were woken by the phone. I tried calling Kaiser back but no answer, so called oncology because I had an appointment this afternoon. I figured they were going to cancel my appointment. When I finally got on, they asked if I could be there this morning. It was 8:30 am, so I told them I could be there at 10:30 am. We got ready and headed out the door by 9:30 am. 

We arrived on time and the good news is that I'm doing great with my (not) breast cancer. It will be ...

 This morning, I was up and ready to go. I went for my walk and Patrick went to renew his driver's license with the new enhanced. They told him his passport was good enough. But he went ahead and renewed it with the enhanced. He was able to renew for 8 years. That's good. I don't renew mine till next year. 

He came back about the time I was done walking. Didn't take long for him. Appointments do help. I did clean the kitty litter and worked on the certificates for the veterans we are honoring ...

 This morning when we woke, we got ready to go down to Iloni past Kelso/Longview. It's about an hour drive. But I tend to like it down there better than at the Lucky Eagle outside of Rochester WA. 

We had a good time. We spend our money, and then started winning. By the time we were done, we had played on their money and came out even. I'm okay with that. We tried a couple new games. One of which I won $400 on one spin. Then I turned around and won another $250. It was a ...

 This morning we were up and moving. I played my games for a bit before heading out to walk 5 laps. I got my time messed up for my game, so didn't show up in time. 

Then we went to the cemetery and bought a plot for us. We went out to see where we wanted to be buried. It didn't seem to affect me as much as it normally does. I usually get teary, but I didn't this time. Thinking of what's to come take a little out of one. Patrick pretty much picked the ...

 This morning, I was up early. Slept good but just couldn't go back to sleep. 

Sophie was waiting on me. She seems to love stretching out on the couch first thing in the morning. 

I played for a while. Patrick asked me to go walking with him, so we did 3 laps. He starting to join me in my walking. Surprising but nice. We chat about this and that. Almost like being in the car together. lol 

Came in and got busy on doing the billing. I needed to send out bills for the water. So, that took most ...

 This morning, I slept in and loved it. It felt good. I think I was awake around 4 pm and trying to get back to sleep. Must not have been as long as I thought because the next think, I knew it was 9 am. 

I enjoyed about an hour of just watching TV and playing my games. Then after I showered, I got busy with making croutons out of the bread that Geralyn gave us. It was awesome! 

Patrick had half the bowl eaten and has a little less than this left. He loves his croutons! I had a ...

 Yesterday was one of those days, that when I got home, I went to bed. 

It started out with going grocery shopping and stopping to visit with Phill. It was good to give him a hug. We will trade gifts next week. 

Then we sat and watched TV and played games. I had to leave by 3 pm. I was picking Debbie up. 

I actually left a little bit earlier so we could check out the Brewery on helping us with donations. They were closed. We then went to Dutch Brothers and got our drinks. A couple of them are ...

This morning, I was up early. Just wanted to be sure to be up when Debbie came. We were going to go to the museum to check on quilts, then to McMenamins for donations.  

Debbie arrived around 11 am. We headed to Dutch Brothers for our drinks. Then we went to the bank before heading to the museum. We figured we have 9 quilts for January and 6 quilts for February so far. Had to let Carol know how many we had to be able to set up awards. Then we headed over to the pub in Centralia that has ...

 This morning I enjoyed not having to get up. lol

When i did get up, Sophie made sure I paid attention to her. I played for a bit but wanted to get laundry going. Then Patrick made a mess at lunchtime and I cleaned the kitchen.  

Then it was off to Olympia for Patrick's oncology appointment.  We left early. When we got there, he had blood drawn. Then went up to appointment to find they were 30 mins behind.  He will stay off Chemo till his infection is cleared up. 

We stopped at Dairy Queen for supper.  His tastes ...

 This morning I was up, played a bit, and went back to bed. Before I did, I wrote a piece in the kingdom chat letting them know how ticked I was that because I didn't spell out the name, and put "..." they assumed I said, "@%$!" which I didn't. I let them know who wrong that was to go after someone over spelling. I don't know it if will help - but it made me feel better and I went back to bed. I slept another 2 hours. lol 

When I did get up and become part of this ...

 This morning I was up and enjoying the morning, till Patrick got up 30 minutes later. I like to have time to myself for a bit, but oh, no, not today. 

He started going out to the garage and pulling out our Christmas decorations. OMG! I wasn't in the mood to do that just yet. Not only that, he insisted yesterday he wanted me to make pretzels this weekend. OH, where was I? Thinking I could pick when to make them, OH, NO! He wanted them today! Then I wanted to work on the laundry as it was getting ...

 Today I slept in. I'm finding I want to sleep more - than I used to. So, I almost stayed in bed till 10 or more. But I was finally up at 9 am. 

I picked up and got a few things done, but not much. Played games most of the day. Just can't seem to get in the mood to do much at all. I know what I should do, but not there yet. 

Found out a friend of mine has Lung Cancer - not what I wanted to find out. Too much cancer around me. I'm having ...

 This morning, I cleaned out the refrigerator and got the trash ready to go out. Trash day is tomorrow.  Then I checked to see if I needed to do anything else before leaving. 

I headed to McD's for sausage biscuit and couldn't believe how hard that was for them! They marked it as a McMuffin. I kept telling 3 people it was biscuit not muffin. They gave me a bag and I said muffin, which I replied, NO biscuit. So, had to wait for them to change it in the bag. They probably owed me money, but I ...

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Things have been hectic and numb.  I have spent the last two days with Katt and trips to the hospital. It's been a blessing to have her here. She just left to head back to Lewiston, ID. It's a long trip for her. 

We spent the last two days with Patrick till he kicked us out. He is walking and I believe - in depression. I don't know what the doctors told him, but he is very emotional. I think it has to do with dialysis but not sure. He ...

 Yesterday - 

Patrick had a rough night. I was watching him fall back in bed when he got up. I told him I would call 911 and he told me he was fine and not to bother. I slept when I could. Then at 6 am, I couldn't sleep anymore. So, I went downstairs and called 911 to come get him. I was so nervous having to do that. The arrived in about 10 minutes. Administered IV and then took him to St. Pete's. They told me he will probably be admitted. 

I cleaned and washed the sheets before ...

…but let me catch my breath. 

So…a lot has been happening. Others may not think so much, but this old gal just retired last week after working full time for the last 49 years and I am exhausted. 

Tattoo Quilt: All blocks and center panel are pieced, and I’m almost done ripping off the paper! And yes, it is the ONLY project I have worked on this year. 

Studio: I had been researching electronic or digital cutters. After going down the YouTube rabbit hole, I borrowed Cindy’s ScanNCut. End result was going to the Brother dealer to ...

I slept in. Patrick wasn't doing so well today. He's balance was off. At least he came into the living room.  Unfortunately he slept on the couch.  

While he slept,  I watched "Marple" and "Father Brown." 

Then I pulled my crocheting out.

I finally finished the one I started a week or more ago. I then started another one.  I felt good about getting something done today. It made me Happy Crocheting/Happy Quilting!

I have been sleeping in lately. I think it's helping me get though the day. Patrick is slightly better but still not back to himself.  

He slept on the couch while I cooked the turkey and got the Thanksgiving meal done. I played games in between.  I had thought about getting back to crocheting but that didn't happen.  I will get there.

Supper was good but not as good as it could have been. I like it better with both of us cooking. He could even eat much of it. So, I cooked and cleaned up. I was ...
