I woke up with a headache this morning. I don’t get them often anymore and I seldom feel the need to go back to bed after taking medication but I did today. I’m not sure what triggered it – allergies maybe, or the change in weather of late.

I didn’t feel like doing much when I got up but I sat at my computer all morning; the time just flies when I’m working on computer projects. After checking my mail and seeing that my points at one of the fabric shops were going to expire I looked for a backing fabric that would work for one of my Christmas quilts. No luck so I looked at a different shop and ordered some. Just a few minutes after placing my order I got a notice that they didn’t have enough of the fabric; I looked again and told them about a replacement fabric. There wasn’t enough of that either so I picked out three different fabrics and eventually got enough of one of them. It wasn’t exactly what I wanted but it will work.

Then I was on hold with the Land Titles Office on behalf of the Hall. The hold music was so bad and after 20 minutes I thought my headache was getting worse, not better. At the end of the call (I got my question answered) I told the woman (very nicely) that their music was horrible. She laughed and said she never called the number but she would pass my message along.

I got some paperwork and reports ready for the Hall meeting on Monday and then started in on more of the Guild archives. I was about to quit when I got THE phone call from the accountant regarding our income tax. That is all taken care of now. No wonder I have a headache!

I started working on another batch of cards this afternoon but it is going very slowly. I’m going to blame it on my headache but that probably has nothing to do with why the seams are going in the wrong direction and pieces are being stitched upside down.

I’m quite sad too because I knew there was a mistake on one of the rows of That Fairy Tale Quilt. I fixed it once, and then fixed my fix and decided I could live with it. But now that it is all put together and I’ve seen it laying on the floor and in photos I know I have to go back and do it right.

Just another headache to add to my day!
