Here is the progress on Halo Medallion. It looks okay, lots of ruler work, but the best part is the above stew of thoughts seem to settle down when I work on it. Might be that concentration is required, but nothing else does it, for me anyway.
I've had nosebleeds again. Started on the weekend. Had to miss church. Woke up at 4 am bleeding until 6 am. I did all the doctors said. Finally slept at 7 until 10 am and then it started again as soon as I gently touched my face. Remembered an old trick that I heard from a doctor -- slapped the bottom of the foot on the opposite side of the bleeding nostril -- really hard, a couple of times. The bleeding stopped instantly and has been okay since then. It is now 2:30. I want to sleep, but think that is a false signal. I need to quilt... I miss my sister.

Quilting is marvelous therapy. How interesting that the foot slapping had such a positive effect. Please be gentle with yourself - sleep when you need to and quilt when you can. One day at a time.
Weird solution to nose bleeds, but if it works, go for it. Yes, I understand needing to sleep while in grief. I am talking and talking and talking ... my poor friends! Yesterday I did something "right" and afterwards, felt a page turn. Hope you find the helpful solution to sadness.
Thinking of you, missing your dear sister. So hard to concentrate, follow thru, get anything done, etc. However, some days you WILL be able. Good and Bad. And I am hoping your own medical issues have been resolved.
Thank you Elsie, for your recent comment. I remember well, your sister passed, and how sad YOU were/are. Some days I just want to sit and cry and enjoy the pain, and then other days I am functioning well. We all miss our loved ones, don't we?
