It is the morning of May first. May Day in some parts of the world. Here in south Georgia it is Monday morning and I get to go back to work after being sick all weekend. I am still feeling weak and would rather stay home in bed. But there is lots to do and not enough time to do it.
I am sitting at my computer trying to convince myself to leave early. I can see the quilt top, that I plan to quilt next, draped over my long arm and I think I could call in and get that quilted today. Finishing the quilt last week has given me some of that "finishing energy" Unfortunately that finishing energy doesn't translate to work energy. At least not "going to work energy."
I am also trying to get back to no starches this week. I have back slid to the tune of 15 pounds since last November. I need to get things back under control. And I need to find a way to work in some exercise. But between the rain and the pollen walking isn't practical. At least not outside, if I want to breathe that is. I am not buying a membership to the YMCA to just walk their track, especially since their hours don't work with my schedule. I don't have the place to put a treadmill either. So that problem is on the back burner for now. I do know that both Killian and I felt a lot better that week in the hotel, when we walked on the treadmill each day.
I think this week I may start tackling the locked up 15-91 Singer. Or maybe just get the tension fixed on the one I am using right now. Either way one machine is getting worked on this week. I just don't know which one yet.
And one quilt is getting quilted this week. The cobbler stones and pinwheels quilt is about ready to go on the long arm. So that is very doable.
Now just to find the time, space and energy to do all of that.
What are your plans for the week?
