ianukSo this whole month has been nuts with appointments for mom. She had radiation on her hip to help with the pain. She had and full head MRI and a full PET scan. Plus all of her normal appts. This has been tough on me and her. She's in pain, having to get transported a lot. Hard on me cause its a constant shuffle of work etc. She's seeming very weak to me and just not normal weak. She's also just been a bit more not cognizant on things. Which is concerning. Thursday (7/21) was a stellar day of finding out her brain has more tumors and then her PET scan on Friday showed that she has larger tumors in her lungs, sternum and pelvic bones. They are going to try doubling her chemo med and see what happens but I'm not sure what will happen yet. I figured the drugs wouldn't be working in about 5 months from now, not now. But I don't seem to get what I want lately, not sure why I'm surprised. I've got a call into the Doc about the plan for the additional radiation they want to do. I got the test results before he did. Which is a fun thing now...sighs.
To add insult to injury, we had a incident at work Thursday at the plant that does my hardware. Everyone is safe but they had an accidental turn on of a battery when it shouldn't have been able to be turned on. Folks got evacuated and for the weekend and now things are moving on a failure review. So that was a fun. Still fun. We are shut down and this sucks. But time and the review board will figure it out. I'm part of the team so yeah so much work and my brain is sideways at times.
So I spent the weekend in a daze in a way. I wanted to badly just get blind drunk and pass the eff out. But I didn't...I did have a few drinks but nothing crazy, not even buzzed. Friday night I had dinner with Ari and Thyra...it was good to chat and not be with my mom or in my house. Saturday AM I slept way in...past when I wanted to get up for the KWHSS...but classes I could attend started at 6am my time. oof. But I got up, played stardew and then went to a facial. It was with Brook versus Marci and I really don't like Brook. I will wait until Marci comes back from leave. I just don't vibe with her at all and she doesn't really dig into the extractions as much I think she should. She didn't touch my nose at all....like I know I got gunk there...wth? I did not tip well but it was a good self care for me. Then I got cat food from the vet and home to get dressed and spent a few hours as my sCA self and attended classes. It was nice, I chatted with folks until 7pm and then I was peopled out. Mel and Benton were playing games so I took myself to the bedroom to lay down and watch things on my phone. I was too tired to think of grabbing my ipad which has a bigger screen. I was up later reading. The Twilight Watch got interesting and then that part ended and I'm now at the 3 portion of the last book and yeah. So weird still. I hope to finish it this week as it will be Book 24 of the year.
What was nice was that during the last class I finished off the shawl I had started a few days before coming home from SD. I got it washed and blocked yesterday. Today I will sew in the 4 ends of the yarn. I also managed to purge my bathroom of old makeup and stuff I don't need. Its way cleaner under the sink (I had had to remove everything due to Mel installing a shiny new faucet the previous weekend). Plus I washed all of my makeup brushes which they really, really needed. So I'm all set if I want to do makeup lol. But it felt good to get rid of 5 shopping bags full of crap. And now my tiny countertop and the top of the toilet are clean/organized.
On the project front I have been slowly sketching the scroll for the apprentice. I need to finish that up soon so I can start the next part. I'm going to rip out a sock I started for Mel cause the pattern isn't the right number of stitches. I had just finished the cuff so its not too hard to fix. I have a baby blanket set to start just need to figure out the color progression. So lots of things to start and I still have 1 shawl on the needles that is in time out, 2 other baby projects as well that I started and havne't made much progress on and some of those kids are years old now. So I'm not sure what to do there. I should just finish them and have an FO and send them off and not worry about it.
So what do you do with old FO? do you just finish them or let them sit some more? I also have to think of a new outfit for my apprentice getting her laurel....I can't look like ass and wear something old yanno. She's my first graduate so its important. Sighs...too much todo. Well back to work.

WOO cleaning makeup brushes WOO! And even MORE woo on clearing out stuff from under the sink and culling crap.

Date: 2022-07-28 04:36 pm (UTC)Yes, the cleaning really helps with the brain weasels. Plus I have space under my sink which I haven't had in a while. I need to purge things a bit in other places but the craft area....is so hard to purge...I might need this *at some point*!
But yes any little bit helps. Seriously.
