I haven’t been blogging much this week. My week has mostly consisted of:
-stressing over taxes, its been awful. I posted a couple days ago that everything went smoothly, but then we ran into some problems and I had to spend the last two days on the phone with the IRS and going through check stubs for the whole year and it was all just terrible. I finally got it all figured out and worked out to me and the accountant’s satisfaction. This is seriously the level of stress I would go through at finals in college. those of you who knew me in college knew what a skinny, grumpy witch I was during finals. When I get stressed I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, and I have to take breaks from working to go retch in the bathroom every few minutes.
-I have been working on the most beautiful quilt I’ve made yet. I cannot describe how amazing it is. Unfortunently, the tax stuff has been cutting into my quilting time this week, so it sat untouched for about 48 hours. I’ve been itching to finish it, and I got to do a little more on it this afternoon, which was nice. I think I’ll get it finished after working on it tonight and some tomorrow, but I have to exchange the thread I bought because it doesn’t quite match. I’m going to do a slightly different cheat-technique for the binding on this one, so we’ll see how it turns out. I’m not doing my usual borders on this one, either, the squares are too beautiful to take any attention off of with borders.
-Exercise. I’m trying to decide if I can drop my minutes back down to 1500 next month. I didn’t reach my weight goal that I wanted to before dropping my minutes down, but I can fit into all my size fours pretty comfortably so does the weight really matter? I met my size goal, and that’s really what I care about.
-Killy’s sick again. He was sick last week and missed a couple days of school. He seemed better this week, just a bit of a lingering cough. But today he started feeling bad again and his temperature spiked up to 102. My poor monkey has been feeling awful, he’s been very clingy and whiney and is coughing and periodically says, “I’m just feeling terrible.”
I think tonight the kids are going to go to bed pretty early, I’m going to work on my quilt for a few minutes, and then work out while David and I watch Vertigo. A nice evening to unwind after the last couple of days, I’m finally starting to feel like myself again!
