So, this is 4 weeks.
It really went pretty fast, especially lately once I started sewing and Zooming.
Today I had my first ever Tele-med from home. I've had a video appointment with specialist while at the clinic before, but never from the comfort of my living room.
I loved it! I was seeing my General Practitioner / Family Practice doctor. I had my list ready of things to talk about, as she gave me advice, I wrote it down. I left the appointment feeling like I had accomplished everything I had wanted in the appointment.
And since I loved it so much, I get to do it again tomorrow with my Cardiologist. This will be interesting too as I am wondering about wearing a halter monitor for a few days to see what my heart is up to. Occasionally I feel something different going on in my chest. I know he will want me to be on anticoagulant, I'm going to hold off until I see the results of the monitor before deciding on that. I'm quite adverse to starting that, and am so far on a low dose aspirin. But I also don't want to have a stroke that could be avoided.
Okay, enough about medical stuff. So, borrriiinnnngggg.
Ran across my very first, original cheat sheet for Bridge. I am thinking this dates back to the mid 1970s when I first learned Bridge. It still works for me.
Today I got a nice note from a friend who lives in Arizona now.
I knew her from Bridge here in Rice Lake.
This was very unusual.
A screen printed muslin pouch.
Inside the pouch was a hand printed card.
Both pouch and card were original creations, what a lovely way to get a letter.
Reading the Rice Lake Chronicle today, I noticed this article about Compost. While the main theme of the article was how to make your own compost, the author also mentions using a truckload of Cowsmo Compost from Waumandee, WI. This compost comes from the dairy farm of my other family, The Rosenows. The World is Small.
I got back to working on my quilt today.
String piecing the stacks of precuts.
I keep thinking Easter Eggs when I look at this fabric.
Then pressing each section.
I added a felt pressing pad to my gadgets this year, and do I love it!
It really presses so nice and flat.
I highly recommend adding this to your quilting supplies.
It gets hard to get much done when I have a helper who MUST lay on the ironing board.
I also learned how to listen to my Audible book via Alexa smart speaker.
So, now I am listening to a book while I sew.
I am currently listening to Tiny Habits, by FJ Fogg, PHD
His theory about starting a new habit, start very small, tiny.
Choose an anchor, like brushing your teeth.
Choose a behavior, like do 2 knee bends
Choose a celebration, this can be anything. Pat on the back, whatever. Just be happy that you did it.
If you add more than 2 knee bends, then give yourself extra kudos.
ABC, Anchor, Behavior, Celebration.
Once the behavior becomes habit, it will be easier to increase reps or difficulty.
Interesting.
Life is Good.
