*******************************

I was on the road to Charlotte by 7:20 AM Friday morning (2/4). Now, we used to go into Charlotte once a month or so, for plays and such. Obviously that hasn’t been happening for 2 years, so why do I still get caught, on the ONE day I am driving in….in the dark….in the RAIN?!?!? I had an appointment with my hip replacement doctor. I’ve been having some issues over the past month where suddenly I am in agonizing pain and my leg doesn’t seem to want to move/work and only sitting down makes it feel better (I had one such attack when Arizona Mary was here for a visit ~(. There doesn’t seem to be a specific trigger for it happening. Of course, just like your car won’t make that weird noise (that you've been hearing for months) when you take it into the garage, I felt perfectly fine this morning and passed all of the motion and strength tests with flying colors. My doctor prescribed an anti-inflammatory as he feels I may have an inflamed tendon….I’m to take them for 2 weeks…..so I guess we’ll see. I got home in time to head across the street for a massage. Usually my massage therapist stretches out my hips….but I asked the doctor when I was there and he specifically said no stretching….so I just had a wonderfully relaxing massage. I was home around 2 PM and was just wiped out. I slept really rough last night, so laid down for a nap until 3 PM. I finally joined my honey in the basement to get through my emails and get out a blog entry. I was finally done just after 4 PM, and decided I’d better get my customer quilt basted, to hopefully complete over the weekend:

I took a picture of my fabric from Corinne's:

I already have a quilt pattern that this will look great in!

And, I keep forgetting to show you this sweet card Michael drew to cheer someone up:

We had fish sandwiches from ARBY’s for dinner (yum!) and watched the opening ceremonies from the Olympics in the evening…spectacular!

*** I can't get the cork off of my dinner. ***

*** As I get older and remember all of the people I've lost along the way, I think to myself...

maybe a career as a tour guide wasn't for me. ***
