Saturday Night.

It's Saturday night and what a long day! I spent the morning on laundry, then made a trip to Visalia for Costco. Husband needed a refill on some meds. While there, checked out a couple of other stores and so was late to the Costco pharmacy and got there during their lunch. So I roamed the store, grazed the samples and looked at books and clothes. I got home about 4:00; so I wasn't able to do everything I had planned for the day.

I feel like Scarlet O'Hara. I'll do it tomorrow. I need to wash windows, dust under the furniture, and straighten most of the house.

I'm following a website/blog called Flylady--a cleaning system. You'd think I had enough to do without taking on this, but the house needs a system. I miss big parts of what I need to do by not having a system. This one may not be what I need, but it's interesting to look at and think about. Babysteps and starting new small habits one by one. That idea works for me. I'm not sure I can wait until I get out of babysteps!

Tax Time, Training

Finally got my taxes done, printed, uploaded and paid tonight.
Completed a six-hour training on autism this afternoon.
Have most of my life back...

My hand is healing.
I have too much to do at work.
Will be filing paperwork this evening or tomorrow.

On Saturday, I'm hosting a training for our and the districts' interpreters for the deaf.

Can't wait until school is out so I can breathe!

Another Busy Saturday--are there any other kinds?

Had a full day Saturday.

Picked up my mother for a trip to Lindsay for a quilt show. Wow! There were some absolutely beautiful quilts there. They had some Hoffman Challenge Quilts and clothes made from Hoffman fabrics. There were also lots of art quilts and some more traditional styles of quilts.

Some of my personal preferences for quilts and other things I like to have around me were expanded on and clarified for me. I have re-discovered that I like graphic designs with limited number of colors and bold contrast. I also like quilts with bright colors--graphic again, but also those with pictorial themes.

Having difficulty uploading pictures so will try later.

Overeating again and hand healing

What a weekend of overeating this is shaping up to be! I started yesterday by eating everything in sight right before making dinner! Then this morning, I ate a pre-breakfast snack, my regular breakfast, and then an early lunch before heading off to Costco to graze--oops! shop--and finished up the afternoon by having a nice, not-too-large dinner. Gotta see what tomorrow holds.

Stitches out on Monday--I think--is a good thing. I'm tired of sterilizing my palm and re-bandaiding it twice a day. I'm also hoping that the surgeon gives me some ideas on how to re-develop flexibility and strength in my fingers.

Spring Break

It's been a busy, but restful week. Errands on Monday, furniture purchases and lunch out with my mother on Tuesday, nothing special on Wednesday, errands and bills today, and car and veterinarian appointments on Friday. Surgery follow-up on Monday in Bakersfield. My hand looks better today. The purple discoloration is fading and turning kind of yellow. The incision is healing--I think--and not hurting as much. I can move my fingers better; although the middle finger still isn't as flexible as it should be.
