I heard Chris leave for work. I
meditated and visualized before getting up at 7:20. I put on an
audio while I cleared e-mail. The interview was about gut flora and
autoimmune diseases. It was very informative. I folded the rest of
the laundry, exercised, juiced, and ate breakfast. I put on a second
audio. I packed my sewing box with the rug project and two squares of
muslin. I also grabbed a package of seaweed. I checked the online
map, then drove to a church on Westmoreland. I went in the church to
ask about the stitch group but no one had heard of them. There was a
house next door whose yard was filled with cars. So I enquired
there. The room was full of tables and stitchers, some working by
hand, and others by machine. One lady gave me a tour. I started
sewing strips diagonally across the muslin until I had covered both
squares. I gave them to Melissa. Then I cut the skinny scraps into
segments for the rug. I sewed on as many as I had cut. The other
ladies want to see it after it is finished, washed and dried. I
packed up at 2. When I got home, I moved the quilt in the frame up
to the living room. I also brought up the light stand and put the
200 watt bulb in it. It is officially too cold to quilt in the
garage. Then I raked leaves in my bare feet. After maybe 20
minutes, I drew myself a map of the downtown area, complete with the
one-way signs. I had hoped to miss the crossing guard at the school
on Garth. I have trouble seeing her hands and was afraid I might not
be able to tell if she was stopping cars. I tapped as I drove
downtown. I saw signs for a detour and that really alarmed me. But
somehow it did not apply to my route. I turned on Eustis, but took a
left when I should have gone straight. As luck would have it, the
one-way signs were with me and I drove in a big square and made the
right decision this time. There was the Dixon meat lady and her
coolers of frozen grass-fed cow parts. The parking space in front of
her was open so I took it. I paid for my order and we talked for a
minute. Then I drove around to the right and back the way I came. I
could not read the Franklin street sign because the sun was right
behind it, blinding me. I got home safely, and ate some blueberries.
I spent another 35 minutes raking leaves in the front yard. I
finished the audio from earlier and ate some beef. I did a
meditation. Chris came home. I made a salad, and he had a burrito.
He asked me what time I wanted to wake up tomorrow because he is
taking me to the lab at 7. I said I'd like to wake up at 8 and have
it all be over with. When he finished his e-mail, we went down to
watch a pirate movie. It was over by 9 and he went to bed. We're
probably getting up at 6 tomorrow.
* This is Lisa's quilt. Can you tell it is made from striped fabrics? *
