Things have quieted back down here at Chez Nana … which meant that I was able to spend plenty of time spent with needle and thread yesterday. I thought about taking a picture to share my progress on T#3’s quilt, but it’s really not going to look a whole lot different than what I shared a couple of days ago:
No big deal … I enjoy hand quilting, so however long it takes, it won’t be time wasted in my books.
I’m stuck in another early-morning-get-up cycle. I reported on Tuesday that I got up at 3:30 … I slept in Wednesday – all the way to 4:00 … and it was 3:30 again this morning. What’s up with that? There’s a hockey game on TV tonight … maybe I can make myself stay awake to watch at least part of it so I’ll be able to sleep until my usual 5:00-5:30 tomorrow.
You’d think that getting up early would mean that I’d get a jumpstart on my day, but it doesn’t … I’m not sure why. I don’t blatantly waste time when I get up earlier … I have my online time like normal – reading/commenting on blogs, reading/answering emails, checking in on Facebook (family, friends, quilting groups) and I have my quiet time … the same things I do when I sleep in until my usual get-up time. I’m not sure why I am not “up and at ‘em” sooner if I’m up an hour or more earlier. I took a day off from the Y yesterday … when I walked Monday evening and Tuesday morning, I went at a faster pace than Lois and I do when walking together … and I noticed midway through my walk Tuesday morning, that the abdominal pain intensified. The day off really didn’t help the pain as much as I was hoping it would (although it did give my aching legs a bit of a break) … I guess it’ll be time to head back to the doctor if it continues through the weekend. <sigh> The day off was enough to get me out of the mood to exercise … I’m really going to have to kick my own behind to get myself up and to the Y this morning.
I hope that whatever you have planned for today includes a little something that brings you joy ... have a great day!

did the doctor never figure out the abdominal pain then? I am kind of the same in my morning routine - I get my tea and toast ready and sit at the computer and check to see what everyone else is up to and finally get myself going around 8 or 9 it seems. I sleep poorly too
ReplyDeleteSorry you are not getting the sleep you need... Loving your progress so far ... already 6 blocks quilted is GREAT I think :) Hope your abd pain relieves itself over the weekend.. will keep you in my thoughts. Kathi
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that getting up earlier does not accomplish much more. I hope the pain goes away on its own before heading to the doctor.
ReplyDeleteI hope the pain goes away quickly and you won't have to go to the doc! Take care.
ReplyDeleteHope you get some relief... and some rest! I'm praying for your peace of mind, body and spirit. The hand quilting is lovely, by the way!!
ReplyDeleteHope your pain is getting better and you start sleeping better. Take it easy today and get better! I think you should just stitch all day. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteWhat is happening to us? When I did yoga last night, it made my pain crazy intense too!!! we need answers!!!
ReplyDeleteOn no. Hope the side pain goes away. Strained muscle or something else? I agree with Jeanne - just sit and stitch all day =).
ReplyDeleteHopefully your pain will go away by itself. Rest and sewing maybe will help. I often wake up very early and the upshot is that I end up taking an afternoon nap--somehow this makes me sleep better that night--go figure! Your quilting looks so nice! Hang in hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI have been up early the past week too! Last night I fell asleep on the sofa so at 330 this am I awoke. I forced myself to stay in bed till after 5. Maybe If I stay up till 10 30 tonight I can get myself straightened out again. It is so hard to continue to stay in bed once I wake up but I did fall back to sleep. Love you log cabins. I planning a red and white one.
ReplyDeleteFor years I've been an up at 6 a.m. sort, but lately 7 seems to arrive before I know it. I guess we all go through cycles from time to time. If this keeps up I'll have to reset the timer on the coffee maker. I hope you get some relief from you pain quickly. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteHope you get that pain figured out. I HATE when I wake up that early, because once I'm up, I'm up. Makes for a really long day!
ReplyDeleteT3's quilt is coming along nicely!!! Love watching you hand quilt :)
ReplyDeleteNot getting enough sleep is such a pain! I go through spells like that, and my poor husband is away several times through the night most nights. And then he has to go to work - I hate that for him! It sounds like we have similar morning routines. I absolutely HAVE to have a period of quiet time in the morning to drink my tea, plan my day, and talk with the Lord. No ifs, ands, or buts!!! I have been cutting back on computer time in the morning. I found that half my day was spent on the computer if I wasn't careful! Of course, that often means I don't find time to blog or read my favorites. It's hard to find the time to do everything i want to do!
