The Haps

I worked last night and this morning on my new quilt. But then my new quilt hit a snag and now it's in pieces over on my sewing table. I sewed together and took apart one panel about four times and then I just decided that I needed a break from working on the quilt. So I sat down to look over the kanji review that I do each day and I missed six of the first eight kanji so I decided that I needed a break from reviewing kanji. There's always the internet that needs to be looked at. The internet doesn't ask anything of me. That's about what my brain can handle right now, I think.

Dave has gone off to visit his mother, as he does every Sunday. His father and sister (and her partner) were here last week and stayed at his mother's house, so he also spent some extra time over there so he could visit with them. That meant that I had a lot of free time here, which was fine. What did I do with it? More internetting, of course.

I'm still dipping into the Hemingway. It's hilarious and sad and wonderful and awful. Pure Hemingway. The way he writes about Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas is pure comedy. They were apparently friends for years while they were all living in Paris. I wonder how that ended.

It's a wonderful day, wonderful weather, but very dry. The sinuses on the right side of my face have been a mess from being dried out. It doesn't seem like that would be a problem, but sometimes when they get irritated from drying out, the nerves go crazy and it feels like the teeth on that side of my face are all rotten. The nerves from the four or five teeth on that side just keep sending raw pain signals to my brain. Then whatever is going on in my sinuses rights itself and the pain goes away.

The first couple of times it happened, I went to the dentist and had my teeth looked over and they could find nothing wrong. More joy of getting older, I guess.

Okay. That's it for me today. Hope everyone is having a great Sunday.
