I give thanks for being buzzy and busy yesterday evening - an effect of my EPO shot I assume - as I got a few things done, though I wasn't quite so grateful when it kept me awake late into the night. Most of what I've been busy with is making a skirt from this pretty batik fabric. It's a very simple garment but has put up quite a considerable amount of resistance so I'm grateful I'm getting there. Even more so as, unlike any clothing I've acquired or altered for many a month, it's not for going to dialysis but for going to a wedding, or for a summer mini jaunt I have in mind so a symbol of hope and expectation as well as useful and comfortable thing to wear.
I give thanks for resting my hands and knees (for some reason I do a lot of dressmaking on the carpet!) by going on a bus to pick up some tester pots of paint and a few other odds and ends. I give thanks for feeling up to this on an in between school day - that's not happened for a while either! For even making it to the top deck to enjoy the wonderful views. What a beautiful county I live in - and what a convenient flat!
I give thanks for giving the Iceland near where I got off the bus the benefit of the doubt and finding they have a vegan and vegetarian section there and even pesto among the ketchup and stuff! It's not long ago I went to another one not far away and found none of that at all.
I give thanks for being philosophical on realising I'd left my phone behind on this outing. Who needs a phone anyway? Ah - me. I needed it for my Wilko order. I give thanks for the kind and helpful man searching for it in the store room by name instead.
I give thanks for the warmth of the sun and the freshness of the breeze. For easy peasy stuff for tea and I am now a mite fatigued.
