I didn’t have a very good day yesterday and spent most of it on the bed or the couch curled in the fetal position. Perhaps it helped because I’m moving better today and I’ve actually worked on a few things.

One thing I’ve learned is that I am unable to listen to an audio book unless I am sitting upright. Yesterday afternoon when I was laying on the couch I was trying to listen to a book and was constantly having to rewind after falling asleep. The same thing happened last night when I was listening in bed. I managed to listen to a chapter this morning while puttering around in the sewing room. I’ve also tried listening when I’m doing computer work but I end up not following the story or goofing up on the work I’m doing; apparently I’m unable to multi-task in this particular instance.

I’m pleased that things are falling into line for my trip. My eyeglass chain arrived yesterday and my box of sewing projects is out for delivery. It should be delivered by the end of the day today. We’ve even come up with a Plan B in case my back still isn’t better; Pat will drive me across on the ferry and to the airport and I won’t have to manage my backpack until I get to Saskatoon.

I got a start on a new card today. This one involves appliqué as well as some embroidery and some piecing. I originally thought I’d do some needle-turn appliqué but when I saw how small some of the pieces were I reverted to fusible web. I haven’t started the embroidery but I have lots of time to get it done.

I updated both the Guild and the Hall websites as well as answering a few messages regarding Hall rentals. I have a Board meeting coming up in a few minutes and I’m hopeful I have everything I need at my fingertips as moving to get something will be a slow process.
