After I came back from Texada the last time I had trouble doing anything productive, unless you consider making puzzles and playing games on my iPad productive. I decided I was probably depressed, gave myself “the talk” and got on with it. Friday was another bad day. I waited all day for the garbage pickup so that I could catch the ferry to Texada. No luck for the noon ferry, no luck for the afternoon ferry, but finally at six I was able to go across. That night I was a mess and went to bed almost as soon as I got to the studio. Again I realized that unless I keep busy I have too much time to think and, apparently, that is not a good thing.

After I got over my Friday night blues I had a good weekend. I caught up on both my Peppermint Purple project and my Botanical Garden. I finished my book and made some progress on my Diamond Dots. I didn’t think we would be coming home until today but I had forgotten about Pat’s guitar lesson at ten this morning. We had our turkey dinner as a late lunch on Sunday and caught the late afternoon ferry back home.

True to my word I’ve kept busy all day. I have the Hall’s filing cabinet ready to be taken away. The cabinet is empty and I put all the file folders into a couple of boxes as I thought it would be easier to get the cabinet downstairs and up into the attic at the Hall if they didn’t have to worry about papers shifting. In the empty space where the cabinet used to be I was able to move in a small cabinet full of sewing supplies. That cabinet came out from under my cutting table and in that space I have stacked my scrap bins so they will be more accessible.

For the rest of the afternoon I’ve been working on Pat’s accounting; I’ll keep at it for a bit longer.
