Started off the day replacing six damaged needles. Yes I got the kimono back finished last night. Tonight I steam blocked it and rehung it on the needles and joined the shoulders and bound off the neck. I have everything blocked and the sleeves are ready to be joined to the body. So yes I made my 11.
However the best part of the day has to be the almost four hour lunch that Marjory and I spent at the Olive Garden. Barb begged off pleading sick and not wanting to share, and she did sound awful. So we decided that soup and salad were the way to go. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and spent the time catching up on life in general, family and old acquaintances.
We both decided that we really hadn't been in the mood to deal with Christmas this year, if not for her husband there would have been no decorations or a tree at her house. I countered with a Norfolk Island pine with a handful of German paper stars as my tree, the presents that didn't get wrapped and that there were no cookies despite having laid in a large supply of butter, eggs, sugar and flour. She was in the same boat with the cookies. Our best guess is that it's simply been too dark and gloomy, hello solstice and the wettest year on record, for either one of us to get in the holiday spirit.
We agreed that we both needed to exercise more and I suggested that we look into finding an after work program that we could both tolerate and try doing it together. I know from experience that I'm much more likely to stick with it, if I have someone else to feed off of. Hopefully we can find something reasonable somewhere between Grandview and Grove City.
I spent what remained of the day paying bills and running errands, still no movement on the part of the insurance company. I did talk to the doctors office and passed on the information I received last night. I think my next stop is HR.
All in all not a bad day off.
