OH...MY VERY DEAR DEARIES

I am always so overcome with love when I come to this here blog and see that you are sending me your thoughts and prayers and good wishes. 

Gobsmacked, really, since I am not feeling very much like somebody who deserves such lovely treatment...especially when you consider that I have been (and still am) a MAD. COW.











I'm not going to bitch and moan and complain about it here. God knows I'm doing enough of that in real life, and this is our Happy Place, right? But for those of you who are reallyreallyreally worried that it's something catastrophic...the truth is that I just don't know yet. The big game of Whack-a-Mole that is my medical life at the moment will continue with some tests this week that might get us closer to answers. 

So in the meantime, why not a quick little update on crap I've been up to when awake and upright(which has been about 6-7 hours in the afternoons). (Imagine the following as a moving picture display with some lovely music playing in the background):










That's it for now, Dearies. I'm sleeping, eating, slurping, reading, stitching, and diamond painting...pretty much in that order. Not a lot of any one thing, but enough to keep me going. BellyBean is still hanging in there (thank God), and he has endured a lot of poking and prodding and medication changes with courage and good humor.

Bear with me a bit longer, please. Until I feel better I might need to stay quieter than usual.

I love you...most sincerely...I do!

  3. So happy to hear from you! Please take care of yourself! And when your sister calls because some dumb worrywart contacted her via her Etsy shop - it was me. Sorry but I was very worried. So please forgive me and now I will calm down and take a deep breath. Susan in NC

    1. No worries there, Susan. My sister wouldn't know (or care) if I'm alive or dead at this point. 🙄

  7. Coni, good to hear from you. Hope you get the medical stuff under control so you can have some fun with Hawk Run Hollow. It's the kind of chart that's fun to improvise with, colors, wording and motifs. I know some stitcher are compelled to do everything by the chart, yet take a deep breath and have some fun with it.

  10. Coni, you are often in my thoughts and prayers. I do hope they come up with all the answers soon - we all miss your wit and humor. Well, I know I do. I can't imagine how you stay so strong other than getting the rest you know you need and crafting. Keep taking care of yourself and I'll patiently wait for the next update. With good news, i 🙏.

  14. Wonderful to hear from you! You and your blog are a daily part of my life - make coffee, check the email, what's Coni up to, etc. Every day. Take care and know that your fans are out here thinking of you and sending big hugs and good thoughts. Ellen

  15. Thanks for the update Coni. Blogs can be a time and energy suck. None of us can present to the world that perfect life and flawless crafting. Honestly I would not care if you bitched and moaned here either. In my book that's what friends are for. We can better be those prayer warriors. I pray for Dr's wisdom and answers. In the meantime, you do what you need to do for YOURSELF - no guilt.

  16. I'm sorry you're still under the weather on so many fronts, but yes - a big Yay! that the bean is still good. I hope the med team gets what's going on figured out. Your home self-care routine sounds pretty good to me.

  21. YEA...she's upright (PT), stitching, slurping damn good and now (finally, I'm inpatient) a report/blog.....the world is back on it's axis and will be getting better when these next tests are done. Just a try at a little humor....did it work?? You have been so missed and inquiring minds were truly worried and sending good thoughts your way. Glad to hear from you!!!
