what i really want to say is...
I went to bed really early last night - at 7. Slept till 4 and then moved into the bed in my studio cause I didn't want to wake Dave up with my tossing and turning. Then in my lone bed I slept till 6. Did the animal chores and made Rossy breakfast before school and then went back to bed at 8 and slept till just now (9:45). That's a lot of sleep. It's raining. Maybe that's part of the tiredness.
Yesterday Nancy and I had lunch (Chinese) at the mall and walked the length of it checking out what is there now, reminiscing about what used to be there. I got a tofurky at God's Little Garden (health foods) that I plan to serve to the vegans on Thanksgiving. I'll eat it too. Thanksgiving dinner (lunch) is going to be very simple as far as I'm concerned. I'll make the tofurky roast, mashed potatoes, vegan stuffing and 3 bean salad, plus mushroom gravy. Dave will make a real turkey for the meat eaters. If someone else brings pies - fine. If not, that's okay too. I'm doing good at watching what I eat right now and don't want to have all those sweets around to tempt me.
Yesterday afternoon I took David Z and his dog Halley to the vet's. She is 15 and a 1/2 years old now and not in very good shape. She is mostly blind and can hardly use her back legs - falls a lot. She has a UTI that has gone on for many months - can't seem to beat it. The vet was suggesting it was time to let go of her but David couldn't do it. He got some more antibiotics for her and I took them home. I can't get them out of my mind. A sad situation. I imagine it will be just a matter of time till he decides he'll finally be able to let go of her.
I'm getting excited again about the crochet octagon blanket. Now I'm thinking I will make it bigger - it will need to be 7 octagons by 6 octagons in order to fully cover the queen bed. It will make a good summer blanket. I had originally designed the color scheme to be all the colors of the rainbow with no color dominating but now I think I will skew it towards yellow a bit. I do like yellow. That is 42 octagons I will need to make, compared to the 30 I thought I was needing to make for it before. But I'm wondering if I should take a break from it and make some cotton dish clothes for xmas gifts instead for a while. That needs to be started soon.
This morning's art-a-day made from a random blob line.
