I got enough time to rest last night, but not a lot of sleep. I'm having a bit of nasty stuff, and it's not fun. I was up a couple times during the night, and it took me a bit of time to get back to sleep, so I'm short on sleep. It's going to be interesting tonight at work, assuming I can wake up enough to be safe to drive myself in. Hubby is taking the truck and letting me drive myself, because if I get sicker at work or whatever, I can drive myself straight home instead of having to sit at the plant and wait on him to get done with work. Or worse, me try to drive that big truck home myself and feel up to going back in with the car to pick him up after work. When one of us doesn't feel totally great, it makes much more sense to use the extra gas and both vehicles, just in case.
On the other hand, I did get a bunch of free patterns, mostly crochet, downloaded from a torrent last night, and got a lot done on putting the back together for Mom's lap quilt. Since I haven't got a sewing machine right now, I'm having to do even THAT by hand, and my finger I use to push the needle through is a bit sore, despite using a thimble. I did discover one thing odd though. I'm using my lighted magnifier to make sure I have enough light to see what I'm doing easily, and my stitches look huge under the magnification. In actuality, the stitches are darn near machine stitch size. Yeah, I'm just that good. The majority of the sewing to piece the back together is done, so there's just that to finish and then I can assemble, baste and quilt the thing. I love it, but it's one project I will be glad to have done.
