It feels like I’m back in the swing of things since my vacation. I’m not caught up yet, but I’m back to my regular comings and goings. I spent all day yesterday at my computer; I got through my e-mail messages; I shortened my Reminder list from 30+ to a more manageable 19; I did a bit of Cranberry Hall work and I got most of the way through Pat’s GST accounting.

I was awake at 4:15 this morning and finally got out of bed at 5:15 to get an early start on the day. I finished up the Cranberry Hall work (although with a meeting next week I have some prep to do for that) and I sent Pat’s accounting off to the accountant.

Today was a bee day and it was good to catch up on the news from everyone. I missed the Guild’s AGM so I was able to congratulate the new President and Treasurer today. I’m hoping it is a trend that will continue – I finished up all the projects I took with me to work on. Well finish isn’t exactly true but I finished what I planned to do.

There were the usual errands to run after the bee. A stop at the Hall to check the mail and then a deposit to make at the bank. From there I went to Walmart to pick up some ribbon I need for a project and to the grocery store for items I need for the Watermelon Salad I’m taking to the Guild Pot Luck on Thursday.

Our fabric store is definitely closing and Deb has a big sale on so I stopped in this afternoon. I didn’t have any upcoming projects that I was desperate to find fabric for but I stocked up on threads at 30% off. I may go through some of my patterns again before she closes the door but I’m more in the mood to finish things than I am to start them.

I have a table runner and a small quilt to hand stitch the binding on tonight; I’ll be able to use a new sharp needle from one of the packages I bought today.
