Sorry for being away.

As the title has mentioned, life has been…interesting for lack of a better word.

I have been watching videos and reading on how to do things in the interest of finishing my brothers quilt.

During which, my body decided that I have not had enough of being sick and decided that I should be allowed the joy of knowing of what a kidney stone feels like, and then have another sitting there making my life painful in not fully dropping.

So I hate standing up since my kidney lets me know that it hasn’t forgotten me. How I wish for the days past!

Also, during this time there has been a mixup between the Drs, the pharmacy and my insurance. Resulting in me being off my depression medicine and my emotions being severely out of whack. I go from not feeling anything to crying at a drop of a hat for no apparent reason.

It doesn’t help to say the least.

And if all that hasn’t been enough, my cat has gone missing when the whole me being taken to the emergency room at 3 am because of the aforementioned kidney issue. Yesterday was the worst because both my dad and I heard a cat meowing. I have a pier beam house, so everyone has been looking underneath the house in case she is too hurt or sick to make her inside.

Then, to make things more fun…

For those who have tried something new, or pushed publish on their new stories know, there is that hesitation in doing so. I get it still, in fact.

Well, I’ve been practicing the quilting method I am going to use, and I keep repeating to myself that I should be perfectly imperfect as the many quilters I have been watching tells. That the mistakes show it is handmade, and that while I see them, others wouldn’t….

However, I have been able to see them on others. I also have that need to be perfect. All culminating in a huge hesitation to do the first stitch of many… along with the many reasons above.

I also need to finish this so I can work on the commissioned piece I have. Which is a seat cover that my mom and I still disagree about on how to do. Oi vey…..

I also want to write but find myself unable to concentrate.

In short, my life is a mess, and it’s not ending anytime soon. Hopefully today I will sit down and start working on the quilt. So I can get the seat done, and feel free to start on the many other quilts I have yet to do. Get the meds I need, along with dealing with the pain in my back (literally). And be able to sit down and write, with my Stormy watching from the cat tree.

Hopefully….
