time dripping slowly onto the page

patience is a virtue, this i know... and often i don't have enough of it! 

for quilts in progress, still in wait mode -- one more week for the big one, three for the little one

for surgery, still in wait mode -- two more weeks.  once the decision was made to do surgery, i would have preferred to be able to just "get it done"... but i don't always get what i want. That's probably a good thing, since indulgence tends to turn people into spoiled brats...  but time to think about upcoming discomfort is not ideal... think it makes me MORE anxious than i might otherwise be.

i have been distracting myself in random ways:

• read a lot, 
• work when i can, 
• actively look for things to look forward to (like smile at my crazy pile of hair)
• went to a movie this weekend (can't remember the last one i went to, so expect this was first of the year!) 
• agreed to two new quilts [baby for work colleague, flannel wedding quilt for friends to wed next summer]

i hope you'll laugh with me when it's over and done and i think "how on earth did that sneak up on me SO FAST!!!"
