My Journey Notes:
3 positives for Saturday:
Learned something new (to me) on the PC since I’ve not used one as my primary computer for a long, long, time. I do miss my MAC.
Spent a couple of hours with a friend helping her finish setting up her new computer – it’s got lots of bells and whistles. I asked about a printer — but she’s not quite ready for that. LOL
Finished reading the last 75 pages of a book – Garden of Memories. I liked it.

My Journey Notes:
it’s been a rough week… a couple of really bad days and the migraines are back with a vengeance. I also feel like I’m going through a second menopause — UGH!

Memory and lists, lots of lists — a list for every day is getting me through, most of the time. Still putting off a few things — more because I just don’t want to do them than forgetting. Those things get added on at the top of the next day’s list with a call to get them done. Today’s catch-up day. There are 3 things on the list I really need to take care of today. So we’ll see if I can get them checked off before noon…. including clearing my desk to I can do a little paper art this weekend. 😉

Happy Mother’s Day tomorrow for those of you that celebrate. I’m sure missing mine! I’m so grateful I have a recording of her voice to listen to when the moments seem overwhelming… just hearing it helps.

3 positive things:
I finished several projects over the course of the week despite the migraines
Updated my sample book
I watched the moonrise last evening from the deck.

My journey notes:
Venturing out today… the incision area is looking a little less scary this morning. So hopefully, I won’t scare the littles when we meet up for our Easter picnic/family dinner later this afternoon.

My lists are getting a little longer — but they’re paying off as items that need to be taken care of get done in a timely fashion and bills don’t go unpaid. I’ve been able to enjoy some creative time as well, but it’s looking like I need to beef up a couple of areas in that arena too — some tips and techniques are sliding from memory and they are things I use frequently, so it’s time for those to be organized and written down and additional samples made so I can do things as long as my eyes and hands and mind will let me.

I’m thrilled that a daughter-in-law has picked up shuttle tatting. I’m so excited for her and she’s doing well at it. She participates in a tatting group that meets monthly near her. I’ve picked up my shuttles a time or two in the last few months…. I think it’s time to do it again, but hang with it longer than a day or two. It can be very relaxing.
