I don't know why I just can't get my blog back on track--or actually, why I can't seem to get my life back on track. I want to do a lot, but I can't find the energy and strength to do hardly anything. I cook a little, do a little laundry, clean something when it absolutely has to be cleaned. And to me that seems like a lot, but I know it isn't. My house isn't nasty or anything. Jesse and Andy help with that. But it certainly isn't at a point where I would want to welcome company.
I make resolutions. I determine to do better. But before I know it, it's weeks later and I haven't done a bit better.
I have a bunch of quilts started, ones I want to enter in Birmingham Quilters Guild's Quiltfest a year from now. But I haven't even finished Kris's cat quilt yet. I have managed to get the top about 90% finished, so maybe at least that will happen.
I had my annual physical exam last week. Nothing serious found except my blood pressure was sky high. Doctor put me on a new prescription, and it has come down a bit. But not enough. I guess he'll have to try something else. Will call him and see.
I'm going now, determined to make it up the stairs to the sewing room today. And I'm not coming down until the cat quilt is done and at least a few stitches are taken on one of the quilt show quilts.

Amen, sister!! I hear you and am in the same boat you are. Lupus fatigue is at an all time high and I do far too little beyond keeping us in clean clothes and clean dishes. That God for washers, dryers, and dishwashers!
My TX rheumatologist told me the first 10 years with lupus are the easiest and I'm at 28 years post diagnosis now and it's the pits.
I'm also much more sensitive to heat now. Are you?
Have fun in the sewing room today and have someone pat you on the back for your determination. I'm too far away to do it myself.
I look forward to seeing Kris's quilt in due time.
Hugs!

You are so very lucky to be in your home, able to quilt and climb stairs. I haven't commented in many months or maybe years. I used to be Sandy Gail on Facebook but my husband had developed dementia from a bad parathyroid. He got on my Facebook page and got scammed out of $8,000. The scammers took over that Facebook page. I did not get a new one until recently. As Sandra Gail this time. We sold our beautiful two story home and have moved into a retirement village. I can no longer even sit at a table and can't use my sewing machine. I am wheelchair bound except I can use a walker to move around in the house. Our lives have totally changed in a flash. I have both Lupus, MS, and two kinds of arthritis now. I am selling my quilts in an online auction minus the dozen or so that I gave to family members. So, enjoy being able to still do the things that you do, it may be in pain but at least you are in your own home and can sew, cook, drive a car, go out to eat. I can no longer do any of those things, I am 76 years old. Sandra Hutchins
