It’s actually kind of cool. In less than 10 minutes, I saw a licensed physician and had the prescription I needed sent to my local pharmacy. All from the comfort of my own home. Modern medicine is truly something. The best part? The visit fee was waived by my insurance provider.
A sinus infection decided to take hold at an inopportune time. My body was signaling that I’d better get on an antibiotic ASAP or the sinus infection might morph into something worse. This happened a couple of years ago and I have no desire to deal with sinusitis, double ear infections and bronchitis all at the same time again!
Feeling much better thanks to the antibiotic, nasal spray and Mucinex.
January 5th can’t get here fast enough! The incessant barrage of political ads is simply too much. When the campaign higher-ups refer to voters on the other side as “the enemy” – we turned off the TV and radio. We’re all on the same American team the last time I checked.
We’ve recounted the ballots THREE times and yes, Mr. Biden is the winner. It’s past time for some Republicans to move on. I live in Cobb County and voted via mail-in ballot, so I happened to be part of the recent signature verification audit on all mail-in ballots in my county. You’ll be pleased to know that auditors found no evidence of voter fraud with the mail-in ballots.
Hubby thinks the vote will go the same way for both senators while I predict a split vote. We’ll see!
I spent the past week finishing off a VERY important baby quilt for a friend of mine. It includes several prized family textile keepsakes that were incorporated into the quilt. A bit of a mishap with a leaky can of spray baste meant I had to redo some of the blocks as I assembled the quilt as this was not one that was probably going to be laundered before presenting it to my friend. Well, you can guess what’s coming, can’t you?
I missed a spot. There it was in all of its glory just mocking me. I discovered it as I did my final thread check. I was so upset! I tried to blot the quarter-size stain, gently wash it, soak it…ended up scrubbing with a nail brush and Dr. Bonner’s. That got rid of the stain, but caused the fabric to pill and fade. The local quilt shop suggested I use a sweater shaver to get rid of the pilling, dampen with water and allow it to dry.
If the area was more hidden in the quilt that would be a viable solution – but this quilt is too special. Fortunately, I was able to buy some additional background fabric. I figured out the best way to unpick and replace the block. Shouldn’t take more than an hour or two…but still.
Lesson learned. Be more careful when working with spray baste on any quilt that you do not plan to launder before presenting it to the customer.
Update: It actually took closer to six hours to do everything because I had to unpick about twice as much as originally planned and one intersection of the block didn’t want to cooperate. However, you’d never be able to tell where the repair was made unless I told you!
See the faded rub spot below? That’s why I redid everything!
