I’m back in the land of insomnia. The Cpap is working when I can sleep with it on but I can barely stand everything that touches you when you have it on. And I got my arm twisted in the hose on Friday night and pulled it off the shelf onto the floor with a loud crash. That’ll get your attention at 2am! It was hissing and gurgling. I just unplugged it and unconnected its Bluetooth so it couldn’t tattle on me. I was afraid I had damaged a $1,000 medical device. I let it come out last night and was not asleep all night. At 4am (really 5, the dog and I are resisting the time change) the dog had her breakfast and I made scrambled eggs and half a bage and a comforting cup of Earl Grey. l was hoping the carbs part might help me drop off to sleep. Well, tonight is another adventures with Cpap. I’m the antagonist. I forgot to say after I let it out of timeout, it spit a bunch of water on my shirt. I am the antagonist according to the Cpap!
Y’all sleep tight! Somebody has to.

Beautiful block
Great blocks MJ, GramE and HAV.
Wow did I have a scare today, hubby was standing on a step ladder and his knee went out. He hollered oh no and I looked up to see him fall off the ladder. Landing on the ceramic tile floor, hitting his head and scraped up both elbows. He is stiff and sore but ok. What a scare.

Wonderful quilts SBG! Hope your medical issues will be resolved soon.
Sitting in a hotel room in Paducah and planning on going to bed early tonight. Our plan is to leave early tomorrow morning in an attempt to arrive home before the snow starts to fly. Terri, we will remain in Wisconsin until after Christmas and plan to be back in Alabama before New Years eve.
We enjoyed the beautiful colors of autumn on our trip through Tennessee and Kentucky.
Hope Ernie feels better soon, our beloved pets sure know how to make their Dad and Mom worry.

SBG, great quilts. Love the train and the batik especially.
I’m pleased with block size so far! Looks like everyone is keeping their eyes on that 12-1/2 square. Great job, ladies!
Ernie seems back to himself tonight. His issues seem resolved. He’s sound asleep next to me.
Anyone have any interesting plans for the weekend? I’ll be piecing away!

Lstew, I’ll look for your blocks next week. Good for you being ahead of your sewing for Christmas! What is HTV?
We had a whopper of a thunder storm in the night, now it’s warmish outside. We’re supposed to be in the 20s with minor snow and ice come tomorrow night and into Monday. Brrr. I’ll be staying home if it’s icy.
Enjoy your day.

Last night was our first volunteer event of the year, the fish fry, we were way under staffed and kept so busy time just flew by. Our good friends stopped by to say good by they are headed back to Minnesota till after Christmas.
Safe travels Cheesehead! Hope you beat the storm. Hubby is already stating if the weather is bad we aren’t driving home etc etc. it’s his way of voicing his frustration about the long drive
Sewbiz great quilts love the batik one
Ltsew you have busy, good for you being ahead of the game!
Hubby and I are going to the dance tonight and that’s the only plans we have since we will be heading off to the island Monday for 3 days
Glad Ernie is more himself Janice

Sewbiz- your quilts are wonderful! Hey, just an FYI- my husband takes Align probiotic pills daily and hasn't had any of the problems of the past. He takes one per day w/o fail. Also yogurt, as you do and Kefir.
I just found out I will need my gallbladder removed. Since they can do it outpatient I'm actually looking forward to it. My oldest son had a horrible gb attack and emergency surgery which I want to avoid. So that's why I'm saying "looking forward to it." My only symptoms are elevated liver enzymes but that's a serious symptom. I'm having a surgeon I used to work with do it so I'm in good hands.
Gram- sorry about your insomnia. That's gotta be a bummer for sure.
Happy Saturday, everyone. Thanks for listening to my gallbladder woes.

Susie Q I hope you have been prewarned about the after effects of Gallbladder surgery so you can be prepared. Unfortunately I also had emergency gallbladder surgery and was so glad to spend the night and next day in the hospital. I was in horrendous pain and my blood pressure was so high they wanted to place me in the step down unit from ICU. The relief after the surgery was incredible and my blood pressure went right back to normal. Two of the gentlemen in our little group also had the surgery and we all have the same after effects. Uncontrollable bowel movements after eating. We all take a prescription powdered mix once a day to help control it. Our friends were good with the mixture unfortunately I have a very slim line between the runs and constipation. So I have to be extremely cautious on using the powder. Good luck to you

Good sunny morning. The cold is supposed to hit tonight but no precipitation is expected now. Yay. Not ready for snow so early in the season.
SusieQ, when is your surgery scheduled? Amazing what is done now on an outpatient basis. I’ve had a couple of friends have the surgery and all say their life is improved if they are careful with their diets. Much luck, Susie.
I’ve been working on another donation quilt top. A square in a square design I’ve done before. This will be my last piecing until I quilt three. It’s a commitment I’ve made to myself. I’m making new tops and not quilting so I need to quilt some smaller donation quilt tops. It’s getting out of control here. No excuse not to do it now that I have all the backings I’ll ever need, lol. Probably.
Hope you all have a great Sunday!

My last two. For Terriamn and TravellingGramma. I did not make any from the Japanese Taupe quilts book. These are my own designs. Terriamn yours came about because I had a big screw up on the first block I attempted. I ended with an Ohio star? With a modern center.
I had a lot of fun doing these boom blocks. I forgot how much I liked the creativity of doing boom blocks.
