This is what today looked like on the only day for the medical team to drive 150 miles. Treacherous drive over mountain passes. Here’s what it looked like here:
Here’s the crazy orange moon close to the horizon giving a street light competition.

Thankfully, Chris came out okay. The doctor said it was an anomaly and said just watch him and take it easy for a couple days. She asked if there was anything else we needed. I was feeling silly and gasped for coffee. This sweet doctor went to the doctor’s lounge and picked up two cups for us. She knew leaving for Christmas Valley at 1:00 would put sleepy people out driving at a dangerous time on scary roads. I could’ve kissed her! It was strong and hot!! It was so cold outside. It even snowed on the way home. It didn’t stick but I was excited. Don’t you love watching snow aiming for the windshield in the dark? It’s amazing! Like a spaceship in warp drive.
I’m grateful my husband is fine. That we got home safely. And I’m grateful for a day to sleep in and off.
I’m grateful that my brother and husband can fix the shower.
Meanwhile, it is getting cold at night. We have a 15 degree night coming up this week. Ugh! Give me snow!!!
I’m grateful for friends and family and the love shown to us for Chris’s sake.
I just found out that my author friend, Gita V. Reddy, has posted her books on YouTube. Here is the one about the Knitted Animals:
I’m grateful for my new laptop but have to admit my frustrations of starting over. All my writing in yWriter7 and WriteItNow and Scrivener are stuck in RTF form and tons of work awaits to bring them back to life. So that’s my time lately in a nutshell.
Sadly I have to report I didn’t get but half my word count goal this month. But I had a marvelous time with family and friends, so not really complaining. Just reporting.
While my brother and husband did the vet run. My son and I cleaned. He worked on the out of control mud room. I shampooed the carpets. It was nice not to have furballs in the way. We were successful in our ventures. Now I need to finish cleaning out the shampooer. Yuck!
My friend had to go home today. I hate goodbyes, don’t you?
We had a lot of fun despite the 90+ heat. It was nicer inside, thanks to my daughter and her fiance, who sent us an air conditioner. It keeps it cool in our home. Sometimes it’s cold.
Anyway, we binged on The Umbrella Academy while knitting or diamond painting.
My friend finished her moon on side one. I finished the heart side one. Sorry I didn’t take a picture of her project but here’s mine.
Here’s here knitting project to donate to charity.
So I started the slippers on the Flexee fine-gauge loom with 40 pegs. I used the following cast-on using the cuff-down rather than my usual toe-up.
After a couple weeks away I finally got the chance to DP. Here’s the progress.
The animals reclaimed the sofa.
I have company still, who also enjoys diamond painting and loom-knitting so we are having fun watch shows, chatting, and hobbying. Two weeks of fun!
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โbagged.โ Use it any way youโd like. Enjoy!
How is it that Bagged seems a happy, positive thing. Yet sacked can bring you down?
We are finally done with my travels. My friend brought me home. Everything I’d bagged is now put away, or at least near the desired home.
Tomorrow we plan to bag more food and water and take a little trip to take a hike and enjoy nature’s beauty. Fun is in the bag.
Gone are the days when a day enjoying yourself could result in being sacked. See what I mean?
I hope you have a great weekend! Here’s another way to be bagged:
I brought my little kit with me. My friend and I sat and DPed while watching The Umbrella Academy.
It’s been in the 100s so sitting around in the cool house made for quieter fun.
Here’s what I got done so far.
Back side finished today. I still have a couple more forms to work on. This kit is portable and easy to do in small bits.
I’ve got a pair of socks going, too.
We took a little trip to see our friend. It was good to see her healthy. We laughed and enjoyed each other’s company at a park. Starting the visit with a COVID test to make sure the exposure she had from a previous meeting was negative is a weird way to start a visit. But we are rather in that vulnerable population so we have to be careful. She was negative. So we celebrated life.
I’m having a blast this week. Friends and my adult children on long visits are building my memory banks with love.
I got to road trip then spend time with my son and daughter. And SO daughter. We had a lot of fun. It was HOT so we couldn’t do much and stay COVID safe but we managed.
Now I get to visit friends.
Why do I turn into a crybaby when I have to leave?
