I wish there was a button on my body I could push when my hair is at an exact length and style I really like, and it would stop growing until I got tired if it. That would have been a few days ago.

The sun is streaming so gloriously in the window. I've had to kill three of those tiny jumping spiders it woke up. How the heck do they get in here anyway?

I started a new quilt today. I'm doing it in stages, the cutting, marking, sewing, block trimming. This is how far I got today. It's going together so quickly it's almost scary! This one is part of my quest to USE MY STASH!!!

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

The third of three crumb quilt tops is done. See those blue strips in the middle? I meant to do that. It's not that I didn't measure and ran out of the red/pink because I just started cutting and sewing. No way. Who would do that? Not me.

Today for the first time, I could not see the needle on my sewing machine well enough to thread it. What is happening to me???

I 100%hate November. Will it snow, will it not? Can I throw out grass seed, can I not? Am I wasting $180 on snow clearing? November is the worst month, except for maybe March. Or April.

Big sports day today! Football at 1:00, hockey at 2:00, baseball at 7:00. The trifecta of TV. I should be able to get a lot of hand stitching done on the binding of my quilt today. 😉 Go Bombers, Jets and Bluejays!

Whose idea was it to have a World Series game on Hallowe'en? Has to be a bunch of men with no concept of community or family culture. How rude!

Shadow has stage 2 kidney failure and requires special $$$ food. Also has diabetes and requires twice daily insulin injections but that's another story.... but it's all okay now because the lids to the super small ridiculously expensive cans come with little cat ears. So worth it.

So many horror movies could simply be avoided if people would just stay out of the basement.

Finished binding this scrappy Dots and Dashes quilt. I love the pattern but it was harder to get the large blocks to fit together than I thought it would be. Still love the two inch squares, tho. I've made a few quilts featuring the small squares now with more to come!

Finished the green quilt for my sister and had it quilted and machine bound for sturdiness. It looks great and I hope she can use it. It is scary thinking of her living away from home in longterm care without her things and her people. I do know she is well taken care of.

Our boy Shadow was diagnosed with stage 2 kidney failure a few weeks ago. Got that sorted with special food but now he also has diabetes and will need insulin shots twice a day. Poor baby. And poor cat mommy and cat daddy, having to learn to give shots to the poor baby.

I can tell I'm not used to wearing jeans because I keep forgetting to zip them up when I come out of the bathroom.

Watching the news conference with Trump and Carney and then the media trying to make sense of the insane ramblings of the demented freak that is the current president of the United States. How did the world come to this point?
