Well, I needed a new one anyway. All the blinds have been in the house since Vann and I moved in in 1996. Some of them are a little worse for wear but serviceable. This one, after Bella and Taco got finished with it, is ready for the garbage. Aren't cats wonderful?
I've been working on the secret quilt this morning, which is why, I guess, I didn't see the kittens demolishing the window blind. I've also been having one of my perspiration attacks. Do any of you who have chronic conditions sweat? With the tiniest bit of exertion, I'll start sweating like crazy. I don't even have to be too hot. In fact, sometimes I'm a little chilly, like now. It's the strangest thing.
Didn't go to church this morning because of the sweating. The last time I went, I sat mopping my face with a soggy tissue all during the service. That's embarrassing.
Going back to work on the secret quilt some more. I need to get it to the quilter soon to have it finished by Christmas. Did you know it's only 57 days until Christmas? How is that even possible?

My sympathies on the destruction of the window blind. Bummer and bother!
DH also has times when he breaks out in a massive sweating episode without fever or exertion and it is puzzling. Will have to look it up on-line I suppose.
Thanks for the push on reminding me how near it is to Christmas. I plan to make two wall hangings as Christmas gifts so need to get myself in gear - pronto!
We're still watching the weather as lots of rain is just east of us and the wind is picking up. I hope and pray that hurricane Sandy makes a sharp right turn and heads out to sea.
Hope you feel lots better soon!
Hugs!

Oh yes, sweating goes right along with the disease. Sometimes it is the medicine that is causing it. I have these hot surges more in the summer. Now that it is fall and cooler, I am cold and I need to figure out how to crochet a nose warmer. I hate a cold nose!!

Oh, have I been there with the blinds!! Those two little scamps at your house are just adorable. Hope you'll be feeling better soon.
Okay, its still not letting me include my website. Could it be typepad thing? No problems anywhere else.

Susan, I have Scleroderma and Sjogrens Syndrome and I have to admit that until you asked the question, I had never made the connection. All my life, I never perspired, or as my friend always called it for us ladies..."glistened", LOL... Really, doing yard work in the hot sun, laying on the beach, nothing, nothing caused so much as the tiniest bead of sweat to break out on me. However, just as an example, I walked one mile yesterday with my hubby, he continued to complete his daily four mile walk, but one is my limit without my cane. I wasn't just strolling, but I wasn't power walking either and the temperature outdoors was in the low 60's, normally way too cold for me. But when I got home, I had to take the tank top undershirt (very light weight) that I was wearing under my cotton shirt off and hang it over the shower rod. It was soaked all the way through, as was the waistband of my jeans and my hair was wet enough that I had to towel it dry. so yes...definitely. Something as small as the 14 stairs down to my sewing room have me mopping my forehead. At 62 years old and having had a total hysterectomy when I was 33, it certainly isn't menopause...so you have given me food for thought here and a question for my doctor when I go for my 3 month check up. I don't know why I've never made the connection before, but it absolutely must be connected to the disease, and you right, it is a complete pain in the backside along with being extremely uncomfortable and at times embarrassing.
On a more pleasant topic, I love the picture of the curious kitties. They really are too cute. Big Hugs...
