Health Update

So I had the big appointment yesterday... what have I learned? Well I have learned that it is not as serious as we were concerned about. I have an official migraine headache diagnosis (which is not surprising) and that the vertigo and tingling fingers is not MS as we had been warned about (and feared about) but probably much simpler. And I must tell you I feel kinda dumb writing this... but they think it's anxiety attacks. I had no idea you could have these types of attacks and have no clue that you were having anxiety. So we are going to look into some meditation and such. I'm a non-drug kinda person so I will not take drugs until I absolutely have to, so I'm going to try some herbal and relaxation techniques first.
Mostly it's just a relief that it's not anything crazy serious, still a problem but now one we can manage.

Alright, enough of that depressing stuff!
Stitching! I stitched on Judgement last night, forgive me I have no picture as the B/F was feeding our snakes and we had no time. But I will try to get one up next week for sure I made some good progress.

This weekend we are hopefully going to get out to my LNS where they have Circle of Friends from Mirabilia on hold for me and the Christmas preview magazine of Just Cross Stitch. I may also get some material for one of my HAED storykeeps. So pictures will follow if we get there (the store is out of the city so we have to drive a bit to get there).

Coming up: Judgement picture update, and I *WILL* do a giveaway next week of a Lavender and Lace pattern. Watch for it! :)

Judgement Update

Well... to update you first on information from the last post... the B/F's brother has been released from the hospital after three days and is on the mend. We tried to see him last night, but he chose not to show for whatever reason (kinda choked that he wasn't home when he said he would be, but we got over it). So while I haven't seen him since he was released. We are told he is ok, alot of recovering to still do, but ok.

So back to stitching we go. I haven't gotten alot done on anything lately... but have stitched a bit on Judgement. This is (sadly) about 9 hours of work into Judgement (on page 3, just that section in the corner). It does seem like this piece will take the next millenium. As it is for my uncle by request I don't want it to take 10 years, so I'm going to try and stitch it more often and let my Papillion SAL probably fall to the wayside.

Here is the latest picture update:


Coming up: More progress on Judgement and the Ducky. I should be able to get a good Judgement night in tonight I think. I also want to do another giveaway next week... more details to follow soon on that.

Thanks for visiting and for all your lovely comments!

Not the weekend we planned...

So I wish I had a stitching update for you all today... sadly I barely stitched any stitches this weekend as Friday night after dinner as my B/F and I were sitting down to enjoy a quiet evening (and me stitching) we got a phone call that my B/F's brother had been in a motorcycle wreck and was at emergency. So we went down to see him... he is banged up and bruised, has a puncture in his lung and a broken collarbone. But he is alive, his helmet probably saved his life.
So we have spent most of our weekend getting little sleep friday night, visiting the hospital (trying to catch up on sleep on sunday a bit) and just being where we need to be for family and such.
It's been an exhausting two days.
He is *hopefully* being released today from the hospital, though we are still waiting to hear what is happening.
So I apologize that I have no stitching updates... but sometimes life just gets in the way.
Here's hoping we have a slightly calmer week (which is unlikely as I have an appt. on thursday with the neurologist that we have been waiting for for months about my vertigo *fingers crossed*).

Coming up: Any stitching at all at this point would make me happy. As soon as I have photos I'll post them.
