Day 5

Pretty much a lost day as far as sewing was concerned. I'll just sum it up in a few words. Spent the day doing the tool biz stuff. This way all the stuff we normally do on Saturday is now done. It makes for a nice relaxing weekend, and the weather is supoosed to be nice as well.

Day 4-part 2

Okay its actually been a productive day. I finshed the room and even got some sewing in. I had to take Wayne to the airport but I ended up sewing from 2-7. I wanted to get a jump on my quilt before Mom gets back from CA. She has been teaching our class and says we need to rewrite some parts for the book. I know we'll be busy Monday.


Phoebe keeps me company in her chair.

Day 4

Okay I've got some catching up to do but the last few days have been a flurry of household stuff.
Day 1: Spent unpacking from our Dallas trip, did LOADS of laundry and spent the entire day giving this house a much needed spring cleaning. Now I don't need to worry about it right? Oh and did I mention caring for a sick husband, men can be such babies.
Day 2: Started to tear apart my sewing room to get it workable afterall I am going to be in there for awhile. There is this huge 100+ lb desk in ther I want out! I am trying to take it apart to take it out in pieces. The damm thing is put together so well. I give up and will try again tomorrow. Dad and I go to purchase a new microwave which we then come back and install. Boy that was a project.
Day 3: Doesn't start out so good I get a call from Brian at 8;30 I have to drive to Fort Lupton because he forgot his computer key. I decide to hit some errands on the way back and end up getting back about 1:30. The day is half gone. I hope this whole sabbatical doesn't go as fast as this first week is! I take another stab at the desk. This time I get some of Brian's tools including a sledge hammer and suceed. Now it is in several pieces out back ready to be hauled off! The room is so much better. I also put up some shelves. I'd like to get some sewing in tomorrow!

30 days of NO work

Yes it's true I am taking a sabbatical of sorts.
For those of you who don't know. I have taken decided to take a 30 day leave of absence from work.
There were several reasons for doing this.
I was feeling burnt out, afterall I have been there doing the same job for 15 years.
I needed the dedicated time to work on the quilt book Mom and I are planning to publish together. It just wasn't happening while I was working full time. I also have a quilt that needs to be done for the book.
And lastly I wanted to celebrate my 10 year anniversary of my breast cancer diagnosis on April 1st!
I want to cherish every moment of my time off!
I will try and post for every day I am off. Already I am behind.
