I've been awake since 4am and finally got up just before 5. Don't know why I can't sleep; worry about the operation, worrying about my family. I don't like discord and when my children are not happy, it affects me and my heart hurts.
Since I couldn't sleep, I decided I might as well get some things done. I've figured out the backing to L's quilt. I need to iron and trim the fitted twin sheet which I ripped the elastic yesterday afternoon. I've done up the supper dishes and swept and washed the kitchen floor. A little rest and I'll tackle the downstairs bathroom.
Wednesday I had my dental appointment and I passed ! LOL I'm allowed a cleaning 2-3 weeks before the operation and mine was 19 days so I should be all right. Blood tests, x-rays, and ecg were all done on Tuesday. I'll reread the Hip and Knee replacement ' bible' to make sure I have everything ready for Mondays preop.
I picked up some spray adhesive to use on the quilts. I used Frugal Queen's method yesterday to layer up Q and O's quilts. When I made the 3 other 9 patch quilts I wasn't pleased with the backings as I quilted but they should be better done this way. I hope to get the other 3 layered up on Saturday. I'm not quite sure if the grandkids quilts will go home with them, or whether I will keep them here for sleepovers. I'm not sure if the parents really like the colour combinations or appreciate the hours of work that go into them. YS likes his which is so rich looking with the upholstery material. I know Steve likes his.
Today I want to finish sewing together the baby afghan and then knit the borders. Then I might play around with some lace I found in the downstairs sewing closet and some lace doilies that I had inherited. Who uses doilies anymore ? I had seen a scarf made with similar materials so I'll see what I can come up with !
And hopefully we can make it into WEM to the Croc store to pick up a new pair( possible more ) for me. It infuriates me when some people make fun of crocs. When you have bad feet and a bum knee they are the easiest shoes to walk in. They are light and easy to slip on. Wearing regular shoes, even runners, causes me a great deal of pain and sometimes I'd like to slap the faces of those who mock Crocs ! Especially those with a superior attitude. The 'devil' in me wishes that they endure chronic pain and have to wear them sometime !
ED brought over her local organic produce and left some new potatoes and a cucumber. They were delicious with our ham supper. I picked a few yellow beans which I love ! Tonight we will have a small pork roast. Depending how I feel after walking in the mall, I might make up a bath of oatcakes and maybe even some raspberry muffins.
The sun is rising and I'll try to make it through my list !
