I actually used to wear black glasses before I had my cataract and eye surgeries. I also died my hair a darker red as I was not so grey. As my hair became snow white it is easier to keep it lighter. I was a blonde red as a child but started going really grey in my early 20's. My students would call me Edna Mode. I was short and always had a needle in my mouth running from costume to costume.
I tore into 4 wedding dresses yesterday. One left this morning, and another has been tried on and will leave tomorrow. I also need to do some more work on one and give them a call for another fitting.
I really want to get to some bridesmaid dresses today, but I am not sure if that is going to happen as we have Kelsa and Schmills. Our daughter and son in law went on a 5-day vacation without kids. Nate's mom is coming down late tomorrow to take over. I just don't know how much I will get done with Kelsa. Plus, Hub's has to work again tonight which leaves me on my own.
I made a large double batch of oatmeal, raisin, Choco chip, walnut cookie dough last night. I have now eaten over a dozen cookie dough cookies. I will bake them when hubs brings Schmills from school. Schmills likes to make cookies.
In the mean time I must get more sewing done. I think Hubs is taking Kelsa for a walk to the park in the stroller and she will fall asleep on the way home. This is to give me time to get things done. He will also take her with to get the Schmills which is an 1.15 minute round trip. Grandma needs alone time with her needle.
Hubs got bad news at the Urologist this morning, his numbers are up, so he is looking at another biopsy and possible surgery for his prostate cancer. We have been dragging our feet for many reasons, but we knew this was in our future. Keep him in your prayers. I worry more about his mental state than his health. I know if it was me, I would be a nervous wreck. Heck, I worry about my mental state dealing with his mental state. So, I am trying to support him any way I can. (Did you know eating cookie dough is good for your mental state, just sayin...) He is very busy right now and will be through June. His biopsy is in July.
Well I am off to get some work done. Will probably eat more cookie dough.
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

Cookie dough will keep up your strength, too. I know if it were me, I would want that biopsy done now, not July. Both of you can eat cookies.
ReplyDeleteI could sew with a baby around because I put a baby gate in the door to the sewing room. Son would throw all his toys into the sewing room when he could not get in. Every fifteen minutes I had to go tend to him since he was lonesome and yelled lots.
Kelsa is content to watch coco melon as I sew. She is really good when she is feeling well.
DeleteI hope the biopsy goes well, and that you both can lean on each other during the waiting.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It is the waiting that kills you!
DeleteDefinitely have your hubs in my prayers. I think cookie dough will help.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam, and you are right the cookie dough is a miracle.
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear that the news from the urologist wasn't what you'd hoped. Sending all kinds of good thoughts to both of you. And, hugs. And, cookie dough + sewing super powers.
ReplyDeleteGreat cookies but I will eat fewer now that they are made. I just really love the dough, nice and cold almost frozen.
DeleteI am so sorry about the test numbers. Cookie dough is a great stress reliever.
ReplyDeleteIt is. His dad and brother, and cousin and uncle all went through this so he has lots of company.
DeleteSorry to hear the urologist report was not good. He will be in my prayers. The cookie dough sounds good...
ReplyDeleteIt (was) is delicious, but now it is cookies. Hubs has no self control so I will probably hide them..
DeleteSending prayers up for you and your husband!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lori. I knew it was coming, just didn't want it to.
DeleteCookie dough soothes the soul. Sending hugs sweet lady!
ReplyDeleteIt does. Soothes soul fattens the hips, what more could you want.
DeleteCookie dough, one of the great comfort foods. Hugs and prayers!
ReplyDeleteThank you and cookie dough is the best!
DeleteToo funny about Edna Mode! Sewing is definitely your super power! You are incredible! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about the urologist report. Hopefully the biopsy won't be any worse. I have known several people with prostate cancer who have done well for many many years.
Sending hugs and prayers.
Well you almost always die from something else. But if it is going to take you out it is the most painful cancer to die from. So we don't want that.
DeleteOh my, I need to get out more. I had to Google Edna Mode! My brother in law had prostate cancer and had the surgery just a few months ago and is doing extremely well. Prayers for both of you as you cope with this and the other medical issues you both deal with. It is amazing how cookie dough can help with so many worries:)
