MRI Results

Yesterday was a mixture of happiness, healing, fun, and WORRY! After morning chores, I drove into Sonoma to spend the day with Sarah. We drove down to Sonoma Quilt, the new quilting store. It is fantastic. If you haven't been there, not only do they have loads of quilting supplies and patterns, but there is a huge selection of the most beautiful fabrics I have seen in a long time. I will surely be back when I feel I can take on a new craft.

I could say that Dr. Elboim saved me from spending money, but then I would have rather been shopping than to receive his call to share that my tumors (there are 3 for sure) are considerably larger than the mammogram or ultrasounds determined. Today's appointment with the oncologist will give me the opportunity to share more news in that regard.

After that call, Sarah and I walked into the Plaza for a lovely lunch at Basque Boulangerie where we talked and relaxed. Then Sarah and I browsed and shopped at Readers Books and returned to her house to knit for a bit before I returned home.

It was a very melancholy day.

In a Funk

This too will pass...

Today was a difficult day.

I was in a funk all day. Awoke with vertigo from sinus issues, kind of recovered and made a nice breakfast and started some beans cooking. Then it was just weird.

I finished plying some lovely handspun I’ve been working on since August when I attended Golden Gate Fiber Institute. I spun 2 oz. on my spindle, and 2 oz. on my Matchless wheel. The spindling is what took so long. But it is a very lovely turquoise and green variegated merino/silk blend. Those are MY COLORS! And I am anxious to create something beautiful. So I searched and searched for something of 368 yards or less, in a fingering/lace weight yarn. Something pretty, but intermediate. Maybe a lace type shawl or scarf, or something. But I’m having no luck. I’m open to ideas and suggestions, so don’t hesitate to offer them to me.

I read a bunch more in my “breast” books. Learned that the breast MRI should not be too difficult tomorrow. But I’m just feeling crappy. And I suppose that is to be expected.

The sun’ll come out tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow....

Well that helped a bit. :-)
