It's the repetitious pressing that gets to me like the flying geese for the mystery quilt. Blocks aren't too bad because there are fewer pieces then and the whole quilt means I get to see it together so that's exciting. Besides, if I've pressed the blocks well and then the connecting seams as I go, it means only one or two seams need pressing. My other pressed parts stay pressed.
Cindy, isn't the t-shirt quilt a customer quilt? I'd be finishing that one though personally I'd never agree to do one.
My friend on dialysis is ill today so I don't have that to do, but my SM tension is acting up. I may have to replace the spring. I've never taken a tension apart, but the book gives good directions so wish me luck. The first thing I need to do is pay some bills as the state very nicely put money in one of my bank accounts. When I look around, I feel very fortunate to be able to do so even if there's not much left. My ex-husband calls periodically so see if I need money. "No." I guess he finally realizes why things are they way they are. I wish there were no casinos around, but that's a whole 'nother story.
How do I go walking? I set a cut off temp - it used to be 10 below, but now I think it's closer to 2 below with no more than moderate winds. Then I dress appropriately and go out. All that ever gets cold are my hands (if I have to remove my gloves too often) and my cheeks and chin if I don't pull up my scarf and I rarely do. My feet and body are cozy. Painiacs, you are a little colder than I am, though Cadillac is colder than the rest of the LP. It still must be above zero in the middle of a sunny afternoon. I also would join the Y Senior Fit exercises if I weren't on track for SI joint surgery (between the back and hip). That's on hold because of the contaminated steroids.Three more people in this area became ill last week. How long will it be a problem? Neither the surgeon or I know. PBS has several exercise programs depending on your ability. I'm down to Sit and be Fit, but there's more there than you'd think.
I am losing weight and becoming healthier.
