I’ve been having problems with the delivery of my posts to my subscribers. I spent some time this morning adjusting and, hopefully, fixing the issue. My test this morning worked and I hope that this post will go out at its normal time.

I had a massage this morning; my neck is still bothering me. The therapist says she thinks the problem stems from the rib cage on one side of my body is out of sync with the rib cage on the other side. She gave me a couple of exercises to try and I’m going back again in a couple of weeks. The rib cage issue had me thinking that I should be carrying my bags on the other shoulder; perhaps the weight of it has pulled one side down and tugged the other one up. I know my bag is often too heavy, but what is a girl to do with all her stuff?

I was barely home before I had a short Cranberry Hall meeting to sort out the agenda for our Thursday meeting and get a cheque signed. Once I had a signed cheque I walked up to 7-Eleven to get it in today’s mail. The rest of my day (so far) has been spent at my computer.

I finished up Pat’s accounting and got it sent off to the accountant; she replied back with her report less than an hour later so I guess my record keeping is good. Then I paid our taxes and applied for our Home Owner Grant. I paid the tax bills for Cranberry Hall and got an agenda out for the next meeting. I’ve sorted through my Cranberry Hall basket and I still have quite a bit of work to be done before the meeting – as well as my usual reports.

I’m glad I spent the last part of my evening getting projects organized for the Tuesday bee. I didn’t get the cards done today that I would have liked so I probably will get them prepped tonight and start with them at the bee.

Pat and I went out for breakfast this morning. It was cloudy and rain was predicted but, other than being cool, the day was fine. When we came home I started working on the first block of the Splendid Sampler 2 series. There were a lot of things I should have been working on but I decided to take a day and do what I wanted to do. Rather than using the blocks in this sampler for cards I’ll be keeping them for myself.

Pat flew to Victoria this afternoon and, after dropping him at the airport, I stopped at the hospital to visit one of our Tuesday quilters. She’s been in hospital for a week but I hadn’t heard about it until Friday. When we were talking she said she had 400 books loaded on her e-reader; she hardly needed the “real” book I took her but she said it would be a nice change to hold a book. She’ll be there awhile so I expect I’ll be visiting again. It was pouring rain by the time I left and the rain is expected to continue tomorrow. I’m not complaining though as we really need it (and it means I can’t be expected to go out weeding!).

When I came home I worked on the second Splendid Sampler 2 block. I still have some hand sewing to do on it but I’ll get that done tonight. I’ll be back to my “have to” list tomorrow but it was a nice change to do something for myself today.
