I've been destressing (which is not easy these days) by hand piecing a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt. So far I have four completed blocks put together, and several partial blocks. Pictures below. Not sure if this is really helping my stress, but I enjoy it. It will probably take me a year to finish.
Whenever my life feels a little out of control, I kind of return to simple, quiet things that I love to settle myself down. Quilting, reading, working in my garden, etc. always work. The sale of my quilting machine apparently is not going to go through, after screwing around with this woman since January! JANUARY! This is May, for god's sake. Financially, this is bad for me, and Kaleigh and I have been planning what to do with this extra room, so that's out the window too. Maybe I should just start up my quilting business again. Will think about this.
Work is crazy, as usual. I keep asking myself if I'm EVER going to feel like I've got it all together. Like I can relax. Add to that, I have to start thinking about going back and finishing my Master's Degree, and I'm having trouble with that, since it doesn't really mean a raise or promotion or anything. It will make me more marketable somewhere else if my life comes to that. I really can't imagine adding one more thing to my day, though.
Tomorrow is Mother's Day. I guess I'll go to bed early and read awhile, and get up early and putter around for awhile before we go have dinner with Mom and the fam. I need to go to the store tonight and get the stuff I need to cook for tomorrow.
