Hello everyone!  Sorry I haven't posted in a week.  The internet modem "fried" and didn't get replaced until today.  What a nuisance!

Had a very busy week, all things considered.  Had the pleasure of going to the doctor to get all kinds of fun new meds for my Lupus with a stern admonition that I had better return in two months.  (I'm kind of naughty about avoiding doctors visits.)

I went shopping earlier in the week and found some wonderful prices on material at the local WalMart. I don't buy too much material there because what I've bought there before has underwhelmed me.  I couldn't pass up $1 a yard though.  I bought like 10 yards for the steampunk convention in Salt Lake City that is coming up in July.  I got another six yards or so for a housedress and maybe a shirt and apron, and then about four yards for a shirt.

I've still got to thread the "dreaded serger."  Threading these things is a bugger, but they are so worth having, especially on cheaper fabrics.

I have to go to work today.  Oh.  Joy.  I've found when we get super slow and are getting just one day or so a week it's harder to go to work than if you've worked the last six days in a row.

I got a vehicle going again!  Yay!  I also got a new battery set for the scooter my Mother gave me before she passed away.  I don't need it for day-to-day getting around, but I will be the first to admit that having it for longer distances and for when my Lupus is acting up.  Now I can dash down to the library without getting on a bus!  I know, I could just drive the mile or so down there, but I want to keep gas costs down and try to extend the vehicle life.  Walking is fine...to get there.  It's a steep hill coming back and it's just too hard.  So, we shall see.

Now that I'm back online, I'll try to check in again soon!

Hugs
