I am sitting at my desk with practically nothing to do and thought I would pop in here. Last night I went to a quilt class called "Star Shadows" given by Alice at Pieceful Quilting. Alice is just the greatest teacher and will be sorely missed when she retires in July. I am enjoying the making of this quilt and cannot wait to see the finished product.
Yesterday we had a scare with my grandson, Matthew. The school nurse called to say he should be seen right away by his pediatrician because his heart rate was too fast. My daughter took him to the ER at the doc's instructions and they checked him over. They found nothing wrong and think it may be from his allergy medication. They changed his prescription and Lord I hope that is all it is. Christine is going to follow up with a pediatric cardiologist to be safe. I cannot tell you how frightened I was...and I am sure my daughter was beside herself with worry. I thank God for his mercies!
My fibromyalgia has been really acting up lately. I am in constant pain with it and this causes my muscles to contract and tense to the point that they hurt all the time as well. I am so tired of being in pain constantly. All the meds on the market for it have so many terrible side effects that I won't take them. When I can no longer function I will consider them, but until then it's a no go. My quilting , when I sit at the machine for too long, aggravates the fibro also. I have to remember to get up and move around every 1/2 hour or so. When I am quilting I tend to zone out and forget the time. My hubby will sometimes call up the stairs..."Hey, are you going to cook dinner today?" I just forget the rest of the world when I am "in the zone"!
I am going to call one of the ladies that lives locally and gives private classes on her long arm machine and set up some lessons. I want to learn how to quilt my own quilts! Renting time on her machine is the perfect solution for me since I cannot afford to buy one of my own nor do I have the room for it.
My grandson, Austin, celebrated his 11th birthday yesterday. He had a little league game last night and got to pitch two innings at the end of the game. He did so great! I am so proud of him. I cannot begin to tell the depth of my love for my grandkids...it is unexplainable. It is the same, but different than your love for your kids. I guess you can only know if you have grandkids of your own.
Guess I should get back to work now........
