I have all my red and orange hearts constructed for the Orlando Rainbow Quilt.
And I have all the print pieces and most of the background pieces cut for the yellow, green, blue, and purple hearts.
But here it is late morning, and my sewing room is heating up as my body is wearing down. So I guess that's all the sewing for today.
I had a some major down time yesterday afternoon and evening. In the morning, I had new tires installed on my car (much needed) while I sat for three hours on a hard plastic chair in WalMart and waited for the task to be completed. After I got home and made supper, I honestly felt like my body was shutting down. I lay on the couch and dozed in and out of consciousness until the dogs had their last trip to the back yard. Then I went to bed. I'm quite familiar with fatigue, but this was something more. Hard to explain. Even Jesse noticed. When I started cooking, he told me I might better go and lie down and let him handle supper. "You look very exhausted," he said.
But I managed to get a one-pot Hamburger Helper dish stirred up and ate a little of it plus a big salad before crashing.
It bothers me greatly that I have to limit my activities so much. There's so much I want to do, and so much that needs doing. But my major doing days are behind me, I'm afraid.
All I really want to do is read books and make quilts, but sadly, those things often are the last ones I get to do because I'm so worn out from doing the things that are needed. I guess I just have to be grateful for what is and move on.
Happy Friday, everyone.
