No Picture, Just Chat

Yesterday we made the trip to Boston for another back treatment....... We managed to have an appointment on the hottest day of the year........... A record breaking heat day..........

Did I mention that running the air conditioner in the car made it run hot? I discovered that if the automatic temp was set at 80 we could use the air conditioner. That wee bit of tepid air blowing on my face was preferable to having the windows open and a bit cooler too...... What did we do before cars had air conditioners in them.............. Rolled down the windows........ Well that was part of the problem. Saturday the driver's window broke............. (they are electric).......... We could not get the car fixed on Monday so we had to go with it as it was.............

I had a different Doctor this time. She might have been 15.......... I don't think she was old enough to drive. Not quite as good as before. I had to have the local anesthesia twice because it did not work the first time. She hit my sciatic nerve twice but thinks she got the right place on the third try. I am not too sure. It is twinging today more than is really comfortable but not as bad as Monday..........

I did manage to sew a bit more this morning on the quilt for Rebekah. I have two border blocks done and now am beginning to piece the different parts and lining them up for a faster block assembly.

It is too hot upstairs in the afternoon to sew.... I am beginning to rethink having my studio on the second floor.

I also have my nine patch layered ..............THANKS VICKIE.............. and ready to quilt. I might put Rebekah's quilt aside for a few days and try to get the nine patch quilted. We shall see.

Errands after work tonight......... Three of them........... Grocery store for a few items, library and the final stop at the butcher.............

Spanish rice tonight. It will cook in the electric frying pan in only 30 minutes. I will not need to heat up the kitchen with the oven. Hot tonight too, only cooling off to 75 but relief is in the forecast for tomorrow with a high of 84 and 65 degrees at night........good sleeping weather.

Tonight I will finish Block Six on the Bunny Hill blocks. Don't know why but I skipped block five. I will grab it next.

I have all the applique and embroidery done for block 3 of Leanne's House. I might even get it put together tomorrow morning so that I can have a picture.

You DO inspire me!!! Kids leaving in a few days and I'm determined to finish a few projects - good to have a plan! I've been in a foul mood since I know the summer is waning and the kids & grandkids will be gone, but it is what it is...so the saying goes.

Hope your back is feeling better!
