The weather here has been just gorgeous - almost summer-like with temperatures in the high 70's during the day and cooler Autumn-like weather in the evenings. I felt like I was robbed of summer, but I'm just loving this weather. As a matter of fact, I have been enjoying sitting in the yard with a good book on the weekends and my bottle of Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen and working on my tan. I'm fortunate that I don't burn - and the chemo drugs make you very sun-sensitive, so hello good tan. I, also, love it when you can throw open the windows and air out the house.
Bailey and I went to the Pulaski Day parade on Sunday, 10/14, since the parade route starts about 4-blocks from our house. Bailey really seemed to enjoy the String Bands.
I did survive Hell-Week last week. Both the CAT and PET scans were relatively uneventful. Chugging barium is not my idea of a nutritious breakfast, although, I used to be pretty good at chugging when I was younger. This was not a skill that I ever thought that I would be calling on again! I won't know the results of the tests until Cocktail Time at the Chemo Bar on Wednesday.
I did a little bit of piecing on my "Some Angels wall-hanging. I think I muffed up the bottom wording -- so I'll be ripping that out and redoing it -- or maybe not. Perfectionism is so overrated. I'm anxious to start on the embroidery portion.

LOL -- "Predni-zone" - that's too funny! Is that kind of like "chemobrain"?
Sitting around building a tan for winter sounds like a FINE idea! I'm jealous!
I'm prescribing to the "done is better than perfect" philosophy these days; it works for me! Glad to know your chugging days are behind you! Prayers continue...
I know you are not going through fun times but finding some fun in it all is good for the soul.
I would leave the wording just as is. Your quilt is not made by machine but by hand and is perfect.
Your angel stitchery looks cute! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Finished IS perfect!!
Looking good.
I loved to see the String band- never have seen anything like it before!
Bailey is always nice to drool over.
Keeping the thoughts heading your way. Hugs XXX
I like Meggie's quote. "Finished is perfect!" I need to embroider that somewhere!
It'll be perfect when you've finished with all the treatments, won't it? Hang in there Kim.
you are doing great girl and all your quilting buddies are behind you 100%.
I had to stop a second when I read that you and Bailey went to Pulaski days~~ there is a Pulaski in Wisconsin and they have Pulaski days too! weird~~ like a wrinkle in the space time continuum, or however it's spelled.......
hang in there!
It is good to hear that you are moving along and getting closer to the end of your treatments. And good to hear that you are doing some stitching and enjoying the good weather. Take care.
Hey Kim, Glad for your good news!! As far as the perfect stuff... I have a new slogan...Good Enough IS Good Enough!! No more trying to be perfect for me.
