Wednesday
Not much happened. Kasey and I returned home from Mom's, I went to the library to get more books to read, and to dialysis for my treatment in the afternoon. I went straight to the grocery store after dialysis to meet up with Sarah and the kids so we could do our shopping together. Caleb and Anna both wanted to know why Kasey wasn't with me, but there was no time to pick her up. I came home to watch television and read email after getting all the groceries put away.

Thursday
After playing another addictive FaceBook game all night, I slept until 2:00pm so it was too late to go to stitching group. Instead, I picked up Anna and took her to the library branch in Hillsmere. Anna thought it was great that the library is straight down the street from her house. She was very excited to visit a different library than the one we usually frequent. I took her back home after about an hour and then helped Sarah do more cleaning at the apartment. We also rearranged Anna's room. I cooked dinner for everyone while Sarah took her friend home. I returned home around 9pm, totally exhausted. It was a good exhausted, as I really need to start getting out and doing more things to get my strength back.

Friday
Ugh! I did not feel well! I went to dialysis anyway but only did a 90-minute treatment. My stomach was really acting up and I couldn't last any longer than that. I came home and left my computer off, trying to force myself to stitch.

It worked! I stitched on Lavenderblue Celtic Knot Quilt and almost completed the twisty bands that have taken so much time. I can't wait until they're done and I can start on all the fill-in.

Saturday
Once again I woke up not feeling great. It wasn't anything I could put my finger on, just an overall tiredness and discomfort. I really wanted to go to Pennsylvania to The Mannings' Spinning Seminar to see all the demonstrations that were being put on today. The weather didn't look like it was going to cooperate, anyway, so it's just as well I stayed home.

I also didn't go to Quiet Waters Park for World Wide Knit in Public Day. All I felt like doing was sitting in my recliner so I did more work on LCKQ. Those pesky twisted bands are done! Now I have to do the fill-in and complete two more bands around the entire piece. I love the look of it. I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do with it when it's complete, though. I think it will eventually get framed and hung on the wall.
