It's been a week

I am feeling a little better today. The initial shock of the happenings from last week have become a tad smoother at the edges, so they don't feel so sharp. That daughter came by today to pick up her other truck. I guess it's getting a little expensive to drive the big ol' cool truck to work and back. There's one step in a good direction. I told her she would have to get her own insurance, as I was not going to be helping her with that anymore. She actually paid for the insurance, but the companies always want their money directly out of a checking account, so they were taking her payments out of my account. As in, I am really no longer responsible for her actions. I hope she learns something before the lessons get too harsh. Okay, enough, this is getting to me.
I have had so much support from all of you out there. I really, really appreciate your love and hugs.
I dove back into the mega quilt yesterday and today. I (luckily) remembered through my funkyfog, that it is easy to get out of those feelings by doing for someone else. So, I went in my room, cleared off my sewing machine table and got to sewing on the quilt of the century. When I got done with some of the squares, I started checking out books for a quilt pattern to make a baby quilt for one of my bosses, whose wife will be delivering their first child in February. I found some cute ones. I also got out some 18 ct aida to check out the possibility for making a gift for a friend. I will post pictures of the quilt(s) when I have enough progress to show. The gift, not until the friend has the gift, as I know she reads my blog.
So, thank you all again.
I was gonna send a picture of this cute little Santa thing my friend from work gave me, but the cord to my camera is somewhere in my bedroom. This is not a good thing, cause it may take me weeks or even months to find it...AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Ahhh, Claudia...REALLY HAPPY to read this post! But here's one just to be sure: (((HUG TO CLAUDIA))). I hope you can find the thingy so we can see your quilts; I LOVE quilts! My sister-in-law quilts and does some beautiful work! I especially love the baby ones. Maybe cause I'm a big baby...HAHAHA! It all sounds like good therapy to me.

And just I because I'm sure this news will make all the difference to you today...while cleaning a closet yesterday, I unearthed a REALLY CUTE pair of navy blue shoes that I bought at the end of winter last year and completely forgot about. Merry Christmas to me! There will not be a need for any spray painting of the shoes!!! But, I do appreciate the suggestion and your willingness to help :).

So, so glad Claudia that you're "back"--and know how much I admire your courage in doing the thing that must be done, even when it's the last thing you want to do, and the hardest thing to do.
