She climbed up on the back of my recliner and hid behind my head.

Honey was happy as Moe Moe is her adopted baby, she frets every time he leaves.

Sammy is indifferent. Still waiting on doc call.

everyone seems to be doing better. i'm so glad! shows what happens when we focus on each other, lots of good! yesterday, i peeked at the board, but didn't write anything. i was determined to get some quilting done! so my headache and i pieced a very simple baby quilt top and i'm hoping today to get it at least sandwiched. then onto quilting. i'm still doing straightline, as i've yet to practice fmq. this is for a surprise baby- the result of an exuberant new year's celebration! very wanted, thank goodness!! just found out it's a boy, but didn't know so the quilt is green and teal, of wm precut squares and yardage. i'm happy so far! feels good to be back at the machine, and since it didn't require much thought i could spend that energy pretending i didn't have a headache. not very effective. can't decide should i sandwich or go walk at the mall? wish i could take the dogs, it's just as hot outside for them! and like moe moe, monkey has a little too much padding on her ribs. her idea of excercise is to go check her bowl for food. lol-- apple doesn't fall too far from the tree (me). she also has a torn knee injury from puppyhood so i can't run her round the block , as if i could run. someday perhaps.... anyhoo, am glad to hear more positive happenings and hope it's a trend that continues for all of us! i keep forgetting to weigh when i first get up, but i tell myself i feel thinner. i also tell my self i'm gorgeous, smart, young and rich. honestly, i'll believe anything!!lmbo (don't you wish we really could? i'd laugh constantly if it would work.) I AM LOSING-- just not my butt!

I got my doppler today and there are no clots! Yippee! They did refer the scans to a cardiologist but they wouldn't have let me go home if I had a clot. I was told that walking in the door, and I expected that.

Blood sugar today was 474 this morning, so there is some inflammation going on somewhere. Maybe phlebitis? No that doesn't mean I have fleas, it means the veins are inflamed.

I am feeling good and quilted most of that baby quilt last night. Tonight I have 3 borders to quilt, then the binding and it is ready for its new home. DH will take it tomorrow to the new mommy, I hope.

I want to start a few new ones but I am fulfilling my quilty obligations first. I was at Walmart last night, regular composition books were 20 cents and crayons 40 cents. I bought some crayons for kids in the neighborhood, I buy clearance Halloween coloring books and save them to give away Halloween night with new crayons. It is just as cheap as candy when I shop carefully and a lot more fun and long lasting.

I buy the Christmas ones too and give them on Christmas Even morning with pj's to be opened then... It gives them something to focus on that exciting day and something new to wear that night.
