(no subject)
feeling lethargic and uninspired today. i want to work on sewing projects, but can't think of anything good and can't finish current project until the webbing for my collaged racing stripe purse comes in. that project isn't going as planned, anyway. it actually looks kind of stupid. bah.
i want to make some plushies out of this super cheap faux suede that i got for a different project (which ended horribly), but decided that i'm not really the plushie type. i like more functional pieces. had an idea for a skirt, but don't feel like making a skirt. i'll never wear it anyway.
in other news, my dad (only 48 years old), went to the hospital for some chest tightness and they discovered that his heart was out of rhythm. moved him to ICU to be put on a drip of something or other so that it would go back into rhythm and while he was on the drip he had another spell of chest weirdness, so they flew him to peoria to see a cardiologist. after doing an angiogram, discovered that he had 5 arteries that were blocked 70 - 95%. luckily, the docs decided that they didn't have to bypass any of them, but they put four stents in, which is pretty serious business. totally scary. i hope he starts eating healthier. he used to be a football player and such and was in really great shape physically. i asked him if he wanted to train for a 5K with me in the fall and i think he might! which would just be awesome. i need to get back to running regularly anyway; i've been lazy and such. and eating crap all the time, which isn't really typical of me. at least he's okay.
so, he's still being monitored at the heart place in peoria and hopefully can come home tomorrow. i'm babysitting the doggie, which is cool because i like going on walks with her. she totally follows me around everywhere, though, which is less than desired, especially when it means she's in my face when i'm trying to sew (still using the floor adn a big piece of cardboard w/ a cutting mat over it as a cutting "table" because i keep forgetting to have my mom order the one i want (birthday present).
i guess that's all. school starts moneday which i'm actually really looking forward to. i have to go into work tomorrow to get stuff ready, though, because i missed all day yesterday being in peoria for dad's surgery.
i need some inpiration!
