[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 4155623, member: 45551"] Lol you are a mess! 😂 That's good your dad has you. I bet you enjoy the time with him, too. God works in mysterious ways, my friend. This is time you get to spend with him that life wouldn't "let" you otherwise. I hope the treatments are doing what they are supposed to do. I am beat. Right before I got hurt I had bought some heavy-duty shelving (because fabric weighs more than most people think) at Sam's and Grumpy was supposed to help me put them together so I could organize my sewing room. Yeah ... About that ... Lol It has taken me a couple of months but I FINALLY got everything moved around so we could put the last set of shelves up and I can start sorting thru some things ... AND I can see my sewing machine again! 😁😂😂😂 I dunno who was happier -- me or Dawg. (He has a bed under the table. We turn on smooth jazz on YouTube Music or Pandora and he snores while I cut huge pieces of fabric into little tiny pieces so I can sew it back into huge pieces of fabric again. 🤷) It takes me WAY longer to move stuff around now. Grumpy was joking with me that I USED to be able to move a tote that weighed 75 pounds once. Now I move it one piece of fabric at a time. Lol And he was afraid to ask but did I actually know what I bought ANY of it for. I picked up a piece of cotton and said "This is for a **rattled off the name of a quilt pattern**quilt and this one is for a **rattled off the name of another quilt pattern**quilt ... Rinse, repeat. It took me about a dozen pieces of fabric before he rolled his eyes and said "Okay, okay, you win!!" and muttered under his breath something about me being a smartass?? I think?? I asked but he said that was DEFINITELY NOT what he said. 🤔🙊🤷😂😂😂 Honestly, I'm just happy that I finally feel good enough that I can sit and sew again. I only last about 15-20 minutes. But it's a start. I think when I was working I was just expecting too much outta myself. I mean I could manage getting thru a shift, sure, but I wasn't functioning at home at all. I was popping pain pills and trying to recuperate good enough to go back and do it again the next weekend. It took me a while to realize that I just can't do it ALL anymore. And honestly, I'm way better than anybody thought I'd be (I mean I AM still here ... 🤷 And I'm not paralyzed ... Or worse ... 🤷) so I'm good with whatever I can manage to do that is fun for me. 😋 I bet I don't post in the night owls thread tonight. Lol I'm nodding off just typing this mess out. Y'all have a good evening. I think me and my menagerie are about to call it an evening. 😘😘 [/QUOTE]
