Well, it's been exciting so far...
Spent a hunk of yesterday in the ER--acquired a urinary tract infection on Friday, thought I had it under control but unintentionally exacerbated it with soda on Sunday, and had intermittent but really severe abdominal cramps from Monday on. The advice nurse suggested the ER on Tuesday morning, so I went. They gave me Cipro for the infection and AZO for the pain, tested me for pregnancy (yeah, we were amused too, but apparently the urinalysis was ambiguous), and I went home and took a nap.
Then I got up, went to Mela’s and work and JoAnn’s and weight class. The stuff for the pain worked a treat.
Weight: 3.8 pounds this week (missed a few meals with being sick), for a total of 59.1 and 18.2 to go. Seems like a very small number. Took grief about my jeans (they’re not falling off, but I can pull them off and put them on without unfastening them), and I’ve been saying one more week for about the last three, so I went out during lunch today and bought two new pair-the 12 petites fit just fine, which was even better than I was expecting. Have decided to combine my exercising and Clean Keep goals and shoot for 1 hour of cleaning five times a week-did okay with that last night.
Sewing: Searched the fabric boxes in the garage again, met with Mela on Friday, and put together an acceptable group of fabrics for the 12th Night dress. I said I’d do the sleeves, so took home fabric and piping for that, and a strip of silk for the sash. Intended to dig out some taffeta for interlining, but couldn’t find it-between that and the illness, got nothing done till last night, when I gave up and bought taffeta at JoAnn’s, cut a sleeve muslin and drafted the pieces for the cuff mounting. Shooting for more progress tonight.
House: Haven’t finished the painting, but I’m trying to make inroads inside. Progress seems glacial: unearthed sewing machine so I can start sewing again. Moved boxes, projects and books to garage; have stuff from garage in back of car to go to storage space; started a box of books to be stored; eliminated two boxes of stuff permanently. V. responsibly took down all Christmas decorations, repacked them and returned them to garage. Does not yet look like that much progress.
SCA: Missed council meeting, behind on 12th Night. About usual for this time of year.
