If it were not for grit and a wicked humor, I personally would've crawled into a box and died years ago, so you are Not Alone. If I can't sew, knit or quilt, I mentally do it during long sleepless nights or long, tedious days of have-to-does. I'm so sorry you have such a painful cross to carry. Know that you are loved and remembered in our prayers, and we all hope you move up that Donor list quickly. psvhttp://nanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-65456468163672557122018-08-11T11:05:19.696-04:002018-08-11T11:05:19.696-04:00Hope you are feeling better today Coni.Hope you are feeling better today Coni.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990258815720208923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-31378641189522270612018-08-10T13:50:41.012-04:002018-08-10T13:50:41.012-04:00Sorry, I am so missing in action lately.

Currently on immunotherapy every other week for a year. It's not anything like dialysis but it does make me generally tired and I've lost a lot of zest for my favorite things..stitching included. Hang in there Coni! Some days are just better than others! 🌻🌻🌻Cathy Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693650575653412368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-25620351719620614112018-08-09T19:24:33.148-04:002018-08-09T19:24:33.148-04:00I am so sorry your dialysis is so difficult. My BI...I am so sorry your dialysis is so difficult. My BIL just started his a few weeks ago, he says it is a breeze and he is back to work full time. I know he is tough, but the difference between his experience and your has me stumped. I know nothing about it though, perhaps there are different types, or levels or something.<br />My needlework has me occupied pretty much these days...I am stitching the Dorcas Haynes sampler with silks, loving every smooth stitch. Our money situation has me vexed nearly to tears. I thought I might be able to swing a class with Nicola Parkman in NC next year by combining it with my trip home to NS, but I don't think I can swing it. My mom is 94 (you may need to refresh your coffee, it's ok, i'll wait) and instead of her leaving me a little money in her will, I asked if I could have it now so I could come visit her. I would rather see her than have money, so she agreed and that is what I will do. I am flying from Texas to Nova Scotia Canada, so it is an expensive trip. Detouring to NC will cost extra, along with the money for the class and two nights in a hotel...well, it just ain't gonna happen. Nicola and I have become such good net friends, I really wanted to meet her in person. As the Stones said, "You can't always get what you want"<br />I did get something we needed today in West Texas...rain!! I am so glad, we rally needed it! <br />Sorry this was so long, but you did ask for it ;)<br />Have a great stitchy res-of-the-week!! xo~mj~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08539840287964685499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-56107741624555555962018-08-09T19:16:23.128-04:002018-08-09T19:16:23.128-04:00I just joined Barbara's Strawberry Club.

I'm 'herding cats' today. I work in a NGO that runs on volunteers who have real jobs, a challenge sometimes to keep the 'cats' all in the one direction.

What<br />an inspiration you are to all of us while keeping us in stitches both literally and figuratively....
