I can't believe that Sunday is coming around again. This week has flown by, for no reason in particular. I spent 5 days this week working on the Ella Maria Deacon quilt blocks. I finally got the star block done, by EPP it. I was really glad to get that done! I don't think I will use a glue stick next time. I had a heck of a time getting the papers loose. All except the broderie perse one were done by hand.
While I stayed in this week, and didn't have the shopping hassles, we had other issues. I was finally able to get 2 weeks of my lupus medication. Apparently this is one of the ones they are trying on Coronavirus patients so my supply has been limited from my standard 3 month supply to 2 weeks.
Thursday night my heat pump went off again. I woke up at 3 am on Friday with a migraine, and was cold and noticed it was off again. The repairman came out promptly and replaced the fuse again, about the 5th time in two months. It is a low voltage fuse apparently. So we had heat for most of the day yesterday. But I had the migraine all day, so wasn't able to sew.
Then this morning, woke up at 3 am again and it was off again. I talked to my husband and we are going to get an electrician out here on Monday or so and see if he can figure out why this keeps blowing fuses. There is obviously a problem. That last fuse didn't even last 24 hours. So Saturday I was not able to sew on my machine either, we are heating the room with a space heater my husband stays in and the rest of the house is cold, too cold for my arthritis to handle.
We did get a visit from our younger daughter this afternoon. She has been working from home and trying to get her children 9 and 6 to do their assignments. Next week is Spring Break so she won't have to worry about it. But she praised me on being able to work from home (I was a medical transcriptionist for 35 years) when her and her sister were young!
So for my Slow Sunday Stitching, I will be working on my Father Christmas. The last two days, with my migraine, and today I read all day, I haven't gotten much to show.
I got the big tree stitched down, now I can start working on Santa. I will be linking up with Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts. Head on over and see what everyone is working on.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and Stay Safe!
UFDA, what a week for you! I do hope the electrician can sort things quickly and you don't suffer anymore headaches. Some warmer weather would be nice too, to help with the aches!
ReplyDeleteOh poor you, it sounds like a horrible week., take care and fingers crossed you get your heating sorted out.
ReplyDeleteI had read that about the lupus medicine, and so glad to hear you were able to get some. Hope your heat pump issues can be resolved, too. Your EMD blocks are so pretty! Enjoy your stitching today!
ReplyDeleteOh no! What a week you have had. I hope they are able to secure your needed medicine. It seems there are a few people in blog land having issues getting their standard medicines. Let's hope the electrician is able to resolve the fuse issue and the migranes go away quickly and stay away. You did a great job on your EMD blocks. I'm ready to go prep mine... and I'll just start with EPP on that diamond one - thanks.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a better week.
Despite having a bad week, you were able to accomplish and enjoy some sewing. Maybe that is why the time flew by.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that you have been having so much trouble with your fuses and suffering from migraines. I hope the electrician can fix the problem. I understand the medicine problems. One of mine needs a component made in China, so there is a huge shortage. The pharmacy is giving me one last 90 day supply. Thankfully they messed up a couple of years ago and started renewing my RX a month early. I never corrected it, so I will actually have a 4 month supply. Counting my blessings. I look forward to seeing Father Christmas. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteKarrin, you have had a horrible week...so, so sorry♥ Hoping the electrician can sort out what is the problem with your heat pump and that you can get your much needed medication. I do think your Ella Maria Deacon quilt blocks are lovely. So glad you were able to enjoy some pretty sewing despite all the difficulties. Keep being wonderful you, Karrin. Take care.
