There May Be Chat

[cgwhitfield]

As you were, carry on.

[PPennee]

can't believe I got the top spot! Maybe I'll sell something today!!!!

[cgwhitfield]

Might be a recycled title. I do my bit to recycle. And it was pre-coffee.

[heartsabustin]

I think it's a cute title. :D

Dentist, and of course, my nose is running worse today. Hubs told me to ask her to use the suction thingy on my nose. ROFLOL.

I thought about it. ;)

[kitkingdesigns]

Made the first page. Good for me.
It's 41 outside, supposed to hit 84 this afternoon.

Morning all. I'm trying to get up with enough time to chat. It's been crazy here compared to what I got used to, but it's good to be back to feeling myself. My FIL is back home already as of Saturday, a day early. I have been keeping busy and trying not to worry, but adding one more person is too much right now logistically at their house. So I've been cleaning house and catching up and I went to New York to meet an online friend from a clothing trading forum. It was super fun to be in the city, but not running around like a tourist. We also just instantly hit it off. Very exciting and stressful times.

[heartsabustin]

That's a big swing, Kit. O.o

Hi, Deirdre. Sounds like you had fun!

[kitkingdesigns]

Glad you dropped by, Deidre.

Good Morning! Popping in for a moment. Had a good weekend with DH. The weather here was just horrid! No barn time...which was probably a blessing. Gave DH and I some time to talk and reconnect a bit this weekend. Things are improving. Just trying to take it a day at a time.

We went to one of the local museums yesterday. It really helped us both! I needed something to do to get my anxiety down and being out of the house for both of us was a big help. Plus, you can never go wrong looking at fantastic artwork. :)

Congrats Kit on the sale! I know how that feels. We are also getting the huge swings in temperatures here today.

That sounds like a great weekend, Deidre! I love NYC!

Erin, it really was awesome! I meant to tell you I read most of your Easter dress stuff, and I love to sew, so I was definitely enjoyed your comments. Kit, hoping to get back in the swing of working, and you guys always motivate me. I start class next month after a really long break. I need to decide how I want to resume working, like I want a specific, reasonable goal to work towards instead of just puttering around.

Morning.

May Day, May Day...

Yesterday I dropped a 10lb steel rod on my little toe. Was wearing boots but still. Not fractured that I can tell but this morning looks like I've got a purple grape on my foot.

Was thinking of Susan(?) dropping something on her foot...

[SToNZ]

Oh Kate.
I feel your pain.

[ChrissiLynnDesigns]

Oh no, Kate. Ouch! I hope it's not broken!

[cgwhitfield]

Ouch. Bright side, it's the least important toe....yes, small comfort.

Boots are good.

[PPennee]

just burned my hand on my heat gun- even with aloe it hurts like crazy!

[spindlecatstudio]

Least important toe for what I'm doing now.

If I was still figure skating I'd be out of commission. Little toe played a significant role in proprioception, steering, balance, movement and jumping.

[GayleDowell]

Kate, hope the swelling on the little toe goes down soon...grape is a good flavor, but maybe not for a toe.

Not much time for jewelry this week, but I do hope to snag a few minutes here and there to finish some things I started a few weeks back. I have a shipment to a gift shop that needs to happen soon. They have been very patient.

[Untwistedsister]

Sorry about your toe Kate. You were a figure skater? That's awesome. I always wished I was. When I was little I imagined myself as Sonja Henie.

Basically just saving my seat at the chat for now.

[heartsabustin]

Dentist, vehicle inspection, DMV to renew plates, lunch, back home.

Now I'm gonna go make something.

[PureDichotomy]

Hi all,

new thread smells shiny and new.

Sorry about dropped things on toes.

Chrissi sounds like the museum trip was good for you - hooray.

meanwhile... know all those ticks Ive been dealing with? Well, yeah. Im off to the dr today. One of the bites looks really bad and it looks like a ring to me. I want them to look at it. I always swell and itch for weeks with a tick bite... but Ive never had one blow up like this. its like a circle 4 inches across.

its always something. Ill be fine Im sure, but Im going to push for anitibiotics. I usually ignore this stuff... this one I can't ignore. meanwhile I have probably five others too and they all itch but this is different.

onward. appt is later.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Hey guys.

The doctor once again changed my meds. I really hate this. It feels like I can't remember last week without putting effort into it, let alone last month. It is so strange. The combination I was taking worked fine until about 6 months ago and then everything went haywire. Since then, we've been upping dosages, lowering dosages, changing meds, etc every month and nothing seems to be working well. I consider it good if it keeps me half way functional. If I weren't in the habit of writing things down, my life would be utter chaos instead of merely chaotic. If I don't write it down, it doesn't get done.

Sorry for the dump. I try to keep things positive here but I needed the rant and poor Michel already puts up with a lot.

On the bright side, I am working on two hibiscus flowers - one will be a hair slide, the other a ring. The least practical ring ever, but a ring.

[Former_Member]

Ouchie for little toes. I hope it goes down soon, since grape is not a good look for feet.

Wendy, I hope it is nothing serious.

[PureDichotomy]

thats sounds really difficult Beatriz. I hope that you can get somewhere with the new meds.

[spindlecatstudio]

Hope you find a balance with the meds, Beatrice.

For the curious, purple toe owie makes its appearance in my first IG story.

Good Afternoon. Happy May Day.
