I started this blog in 2009 to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for 16 years…sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. 6/16/24 Woody took his final breath in his long health battle. I have blogged for so long that it is part of my daily routine…so I guess I will continue with posts from me about how I cope with this new stage in my life…widowhood.

Over Halfway Through February
Tonight's photo is not a reflection on the current weather conditions! This is from a trip out after it snowed a while back. Today has been another low-key day. I stayed inside all day. This morning I had a Zoom Cottey College Alum bookclub. Today one of the Cottey professors joined us and we discussed the book that all the Cottey students read at the beginning of the year. This book dealt with climate change and was written by a young Ugandan woman. In the afternoon I was pretty lazy...stitching and napping. My "task" of the day has been to reorganize my cross stitch books before I put them back in the drawer. I'm still debating on how I want to do it. At the moment I have many stacks of these booklets all over the floor in the family room. I keep changing my mind about how I want them arranged...not that it makes a great deal of difference in the grand scheme of things...but at the moment it is wha I have chosen to do! I have in the past organized them by categories...thinking about doing them by designer or design company...again not a crucial decision and I can always change my strategy the next time I decide to organize them. I think that this organizing "thing" in my mind may have something to do with me having a librarian mindset! I alphabetize my spices...I was told once at a library conference that doing that was something that librarians often do. I can tell you one thing...that once I decide what I want in each stack...then they will be alphabetized within each stack and then those stacks will be alphabetized before they go back in the drawer...that's just me! (perhaps isert an eye roll here?!?) I have gotten some more done on the sampler that I posted a photo of last night...getting pretty close to dinishing that first graph page of 16! Once I get that area done on the sampler, I will probably put it down and work on another of my projects...I have about five that I have been in a rotation with for the last month or so. I have had cross stitch programming on in the background on YouTube on the TV...being kept company by like-minded folk. Interesting to hear what others are enjoying stitching...plus it makes me feel less guilty about all the on-going projects and future projects that I have, when others have so MANY more!!! I am treating this weekend from yesterday through tomorrow as a holiday weekend...after all...it statted with Valentine's Day and ends with Presidents' Day...I guess I can really extend that weekend through Monday...right!? I have told myself that I can just do whatever I feel like doing...which is pretty much what I do every day, anyway! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
