Morning Time

Almost 8 a.m.  I headed to bed at 9 last night and had to force myself to stay up even that late.  I was tired. And my complaining blog of yesterday proves it.  Oh my, but I can get so depressing when the body is acting up.  Anyhow, I slept fairly good until 3 a.m. and then the hip bursitis kicked in. If that's what it is and I suspect so since I've had issues there before.  Time to see about getting another shot as the last one helped a lot.  And yeah, I'm all for steroids if they fix the pain.  At 3 a.m. I transferred to the recliner.  Put pot cream on the hip, took two ibuprofens and did a few minutes of stretching.  Ow..OW!  Finally dropped off for three hours. I knew I was tired!

Got up and immediately started moving. Got dressed, threw water in my face, fixed coffee and toast and sat at the laptop to surf a bit.  First problem of the day ---no sound on my computer.  Have to monkey around with that a while; will work my crossword, wash the dishes,and head to the sewing room. I did manage to get my last quilt all pinned with batting and backing so all I need to do is sew around, turn it outside in, press, and sew around the outside.  I've been  sewing all my smaller quilts this way that have flannel blanketing inside as it seems to work okay.  This last quilt is about 53" across and 80" down.  A little larger than most.  And thank you again Joanne Gilles and Barbara Shaw for all the material. I do appreciate it.

Looking a little gray outside the window and while it rained a tad yesterday, I think it's gonna clear up today.  Maybe I'll try to get that walk in that was completely out of the question yesterday.

Gotta bake up some chocolate chip cookies to take to Dave Marriott's memorial service tomorrow at the Elks. Only other events on my calendar this week is a dental appt for a second cleaning on Thursday and the alumni social hour on Saturday.

Think I'll head down to the beach within the next hour or so.  Although I won't really be beach walking; it'll be on the road.  Sure wish Port Angeles had a North Beach. I'd go there more often. 

I just checked my "trash" email and the two pictures I sent there from my phone yesterday still haven't appeared. I sent them twice and this morning makes three times.  Wonder why?  Just another one of those techy glitches we're not supposed to understand, I guess.
