Day 25 Bad Day

Hey Ma

Today was a little rough. We went and paid the gas bill (I cannot believe I missed that. You know how careful I am with the bills).  We stopped at Jo-Ann's and Jackie got some yarn. That trip was really hard - sewing, quilting, crafting, all that was such a part of your life that everywhere I looked was "you".

Is it weird that Jackie and I want to get better at quilting and sewing?  We're becoming our mother.  Not a bad thing.

David called yesterday and that was a good conversation and contact.

I recognize that I'm in a deeper depression than usual and that's normal, one of the stages. I don't think it's crisis mode yet.  I'll call the VA tomorrow and set up an appt with my new medical doctor and call my psych.

Steph loved the plaque I made for her with your amethyst chips.  Haven't heard from Chris & Georgia yet if they liked their gifts.

This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too.

Becoming Mom - part whatever

Okay, instead of hand sewing something as I normally would, I used the machine. The design works, the stuff for the project doesn't.  We need bigger pipe insulation. We're making drafty door blockers and the insulation is too small since we ripped out the carpets. So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
