wrestling a quilt

I am slowly getting more energy.  There were points today where I was feeling good.  Other points I was exhausted and hurting.  Then there were other points where I was foggy.  Okay, so I hurt most of the time but not feeling exhausted or in a fog is huge!  

I had a friend get me outside for lunch today.  We sat in the shade but it was warm.  That was nice.  Being out of the office and not talking work was lovely.  I also enjoyed the time we spent looking at a small house.  The heat warm all the aches.  They did not go away but they were soothed.

It gave me enough energy to come home and work on my Beloved's sewing machine.  He is using it to make leather knife sheathes.  It needed some adjusting and I have more experience then he does.  

Once I got that working, I started quilting a work in progress that has been in progress much too long!  I need it off my pile.  This quilt actually has an old quilt inside it so I do not need to quilt it as closely as I would my smaller quilts.  It is also going to the mountain to live once it is done.  It does not need to be perfect but it does need to be machine washable, which it is.  It really feels like I am wrestling it right now but it about a quarter done.  

It should be done soon and not a work in progess!
