Surgery Week
Saturday, October 5, 2013
Big Week
This week has been a busy little one! I have been on a mission to make binky clips for my new nephew that came Saturday and the one due in January. I made my first Apple pie for my father-in-law's birthday that is at the beginning of next week. And I'm just seeing up plans for next week... Got an interview with the school district to become a substitute teacher, Zoey needs her booster shots, I have to get an ultrasound of my boobs, and visit Quest Diagnostics for blood work in preparation for my surgery to fix the aneurysm at the end of the month. Plus I have to figure out a costume for Halloween since apparently I will be working the Halloween Drawing at work.

Update
So today is my second wedding anniversary. I have been married to an amazing husband for a whole two years! It's amazing! Unfortunately, we did not get to celebrate today because we both had to work. The best part was that my husband surprised me with a very special and sweet card which made me cry first thing. I cried mostly because it truly sweet that after working so hard for so many hours he actually went to the store and found the most perfect card.
I also had to visit the neurologist today regarding the episodes which I have been having. Apparently I am not that good at controlling my stress level. He says that the episodes are migraines. I have no pain so I am not sure how that is but he says you could also call them stressed induced episodes. Which to me means that I am doing this to myself. I don't care for that to much. It is no wonder considering everything I've been through in the last year. First, my father-in-law had the stroke a year ago. Then just after Easter I had the miscarriage. Finally, the diagnosis of the aneurysm and the subsequent surgeries. It truly is a wonder I haven't been put in the nut house. So the plan is to now take some time off. I am going to work on reducing stress, saying no to things I can't do, and refocusing my efforts on my husband, our family and my crafts. Hopefully that will stop these episodes and life can return to some level of normal.

Today's project- Stitch Markers
So today I thought I would work up some quick stitch markers for knitting and crocheting! I love making these because they can go together quickly and be so cute! It's really all about choosing the right charms and attaching the correct hardware.

My future brother-in-law requested a quilted mat that he could use to rest his elbows while shooting his rifle. This is the mat that I made. It was easier than I thought and I even added straps so that he can roll it up and take it with him easily! |
Introduction to myself at this moment.
I decided that the next thing to do would be to start a blog for all to see about my endeavor. I am not too sure how well this is going to go as I already have a full schedule. I attend college to be an elementary school teacher, on top of that I work full time, as if that were not enough I was recently diagnosed with an anterior communicating artery aneurysm.
The good news is that I listened to what my body was telling me and they found the aneurysm in time to fix the problem. The bad thing is that I still have to go through two more surgeries to fix it. I am trying to look at the positive side which is that I will have some time off from work to at least crochet since I will not be able to walk much after the surgery.
