I Just Don't *Feel* Like It...

I *want* to post a blog at least once a week...


I just don't *feel* like it.




I *want* to go paint in my room...


I just don't *feel* like it.




I *want* to go hang out with friends...


I just don't *feel* like it.




I *want* to go for a walk out in this gorgeous weather...


I just don't *feel* like it.




I *want* to go sew something...


I just don't *feel* like it.




...i've been down in the dumps for a couple of weeks.  Sorry i haven't posted anything lately.  I *want* to...  I just can't muster up the motivation.   


Hopefully i'll start "feeling like it" again soon.


I hope your part of the World is going good.
=-)

And Now It's Monday Again...

One more pic of the "Windy" wall hanging:

Well, Boyfriend & i went to Va. Saturday to help out my in-laws, intending to come back that evening, but, of course, it didn't work out that way...
Mom-in-law was sick. We *knew* she was sick, but we didn't really know just how sick. We took her to the doctor, and she has *Pneumonia*!
CRAP!

As i sit here in my kitchen, i wonder if i'll *ever* go to see *my* Mother again...

And then i wonder if all this one-thing-after-another will simply resolve itself in Va. only to be replaced with a *new* one-thing-after-another with *my* Mother in SC!?
The craziness in Va. is REALLY bothering Boyfriend 'cause he's the kind of person who likes to have a schedule. To know what's happening next and then next after that, and what the date will be for when something will end and the date for when the next thing will begin.
He's a PLANNER!
And this thing about stuff having NO PLAN is driving him CRAZY!

Me? I'm a day-to-day, moment-by-moment kind of person, so that part is alright with me.
It's the sitting-in-the-nursing-home-all-day, doing-NOTHING that makes me want to VOMIT! That, and the way the nursing home is
SO DEPRESSING.

When's the last time you were in a nursing home?
Have you EVER been in one?
Even if it was 20 years ago, trust me, nothing much has changed in the majority of nursing homes.
They are DEPRESSING.
DEPRESSINGLY depressing.

I don't EVER want to be shushed-off to one.


OKAY!
Can i find some sunshine today?! (Metaphorically speaking, or IRL. Either one would be nice!) =-)

I'm leaving shortly to go to the YMCA for either Yoga or Zumba.
I know, i know. Those are two very different things!
But that's okay!
I'm looking for Sunshine, and i can find it at *either* place!
=-)
And then i think i'll work on a new project at my sewing table!

You go find some Sunshine of your own! Your day can only improve!

=-)

Today seems to be an odd day for me...




I'm sort-of wandering around, talking out loud to myself...




Boyfriend is at work, our oldest daughter is at one of her college classes, and our youngest is taking her kitten to the vet...




So I'm stuck here, alone, wandering around between loads of laundry, with the tv on for noise...

I'm sort of lost today.





I'm in a funk.





But SHE gives me comfort! =-)





It's not a very focused picture, but really, are we supposed to *clearly* see faeries? Aren't they supposed to stay in the realm of "those things that we're not quite certain of"?

She found me at a yardsale, and my 18 yo daughter tried to claim her, but she stuck with me. (Yay! The gods smiled on me yet again.)

I still need to find a name for her. Any suggestions? I have no idea if she came with a set of anything, nor if she's a cartoon, or what. Nor do I want to know!

And the quilt I'm working on is lying there looking at me accusingly.


I need to get to work on it, but I'm stuck for a bit.




I guess I'll go look around the 'net for some tutorials on applique'...




Back later. But in the meantime, here's a sneak-peek at this thing I'm trying to work on:
