I have gotten through this year. It started out with me just getting out of the nursing home rehabbing from my colon cancer. Little by little throughout the year I have been getting better. I am seeing my surgeon this week and will probably have to go through some tests as a year has gone by since the surgery. I feel pretty good so not too concerned. The only thing that really didn't get all the way back was the muscle in my upper leg that because of laying for 3 months and not walking alot is not back to what it was. I have a more difficult time walking up a step or stairs. Dorothy (sister-in-law) and I went to a really nice quilt show last Sunday. I saw some very beautiful quilts. I did go home with a few small pieces of fabric to put aside for my stash. I also purchased a template to make a quilt using all my scraps. I ordered it so it will be coming through the mail soon, I hope. I am anxious to play with it. Maybe that will give the the push to do some sewing. I have been working on some Christmas gifts but have hit a lazy streak of not feeling like doing anything regarding sewing. I keep going back in the sewing room but only work a few minutes at a time. I need to finish up quite a few projects that I have started. I also need to do some yard work that I keep putting off. My next decision to make is whether or not I am going to put up my Christmas decorations. Part of me wants to and the other part doesn't. It is hard for me to ask people to help with with bringing up my decorations but I just can't do it myself anymore. Only time will tell what I will do. I would like to find an area to put the containers so that I wouldn't have to take them up and down the stairs. It is time for me to clean up the kitchen and finish getting dressed. Carol is coming over for dinner and a movie. Today we are cooking a turkey breast and it is a beautiful sunny day today.
