You need space to bind a quilt from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

I thought about the stride thing yesterday with my KMs, and it's NOT the stride. I did measure that way back when I got a FitBit. I tried to verify it last night, but do you think I could find that in the app? Nope! 

The big issue is the translation from my FitBit records to the data on the Virtual Challenge site. It's sporadic, and I have no idea what's happening, but have a look and see what I mean. 


The data from the Virtual Challenge website for the last two days


For comparison, my FitBit ...

The "to be quilted" pile from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Yesterday was the complete opposite of the previous day. I accomplished lots, and I went to bed, exhausted but happy, after walking over 20,000 steps.

Quite a bit still needed to be put away, so I got out my audiobook and got to work. I also had to start packing for Quilt Canada in one week, so as I was sorting and putting away, I pulled out the samples I needed for that show. 

Stuff to put away


Of course, my faithful companion was right there with me, lying in the middle of the floor space. It doesn't ...

Sleepless in Halifax from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Seriously??? It's way past my bedtime, and I'm wide awake? Why? Because my hotel room faces a bustling night spot in the city, and the music is blaring, and I don't do well with music at night. I remember one campground we stayed at when we were cycling; someone was playing music, and even with earplugs, I couldn't sleep. The next day wasn't fun! 

Party Central in Halifax


So what is one going to do? I could lay in bed and hope to fall asleep, but I'm restless as all get out, so that ...

A day of challenges! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Wait for it -- it was NOT a challenging day!

So the oatmeal is pretty bland this morning. After taking my afternoon to the library, I realized that I should have gone in the opposite direction to the grocery store to get almond milk and bananas. I did NOT have time to do a second walk. Guess where I'll be walking today? 

I had to drop a book at the library and told myself I did NOT need to go in. I didn't even take my library card. I didn't spot anything on the highlighted shelves, but I ...

DH saves the day! from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

Wow -- this crazy week is almost over—lots of presentations and lots of prep. 

Without getting too complicated about the process, I've been replicating slides or parts of slides in Powerpoint as part of the prep for the next one. The other day, I accidentally opened up a FINAL presentation and started to add and delete slides for another one. I FORGOT to give it a new name, and the next thing I knew, the file was being autosaved, and my FINAL presentation got wiped out. GRRRR

Well, it appears that even though I tell people to do that ...

Is moving an option? from Crazy Quilter on a Bike!

 

It seems that I'm spending more and more time on the computer! Why is that? I used to get up and head to the studio to sew and the last couple of weeks, I've gotten up and headed to the computer! I hope by the end of the week to be done with that routine. I miss that morning quiet sewing time and I always accomplished a TON of stuff. 

I had a lot of class stuff to take care of this morning. I think I've got everything covered. If you signed up for Long Time Gone ...
