SLIGHT RE-ARRANGE OF CRABBY QUARTERS

 

This morning I intend re-arranging my sewing space just a little.  Like...  keeping up my tradition of moving shit eh?  lol

I got some more of the foam panels from Steve last night, and in order to put them up on the wall, I need to take some shit down, and move a few things so I can access the walls easier.

So, last night I made a small start, by sweeping and washing the work area, and moving my sewing desk.

ABOVE: Those are the two large foam panels.

ABOVE:  I will cut one down to fit on that part of the wall.

ABOVE: So the first thing I need to do is take that old wooden hook/board down.  It was there when we bought this home.  I have never liked it anyway.

Then I will cut down the foam panel, ready for Stew to put up next week.

The other foam panel is going by the back door, where I have smaller strips hanging on curtain wires.  If I put the foam panel up there, I will have heaps more room for strips.

My sewing space is slowly coming together, and soon it will be perfect.

Though, knowing me, I will still 'tweak' my sewing area for a few more YEARS.   😂😅😖  We all know it's just what I do.

The other thing that 'came to me' last night... was to paint the garage floor.  I'm sure it would make my sewing space look nicer?  What do you think?  I could do it in sections, so it's not utter chaos, and I might just do the sewing work area, not the storage end.  ???

Like a lot of working people, Stew finishes work this afternoon.

Then he has literally an entire month off work!

I don't think he has EVER taken that much time off work in his life (except for sickness once, 35 odd years ago)... so it will be interesting to see how that goes.

I'm hoping he doesn't drive me mental!

It will be a good 'test' for when he's home in March, recovering from his knee replacement surgery eh?  

Tomorrow we have our final market for 2025, at Tamahere.  We will have done 7 markets over 7 weekends... so it will be nice to take a break from them as well.

Right, I'm off to start me day.

10.52 am.  I've been out and about.  I picked up Stew's necklace.   Then I took all the Christmas presents over to Steve 'n' Bexs.  I don't want them in this home while we are away, even though the security here is excellent, still a bit twitchy about leaving it all here.

Then I got one foam panel up on the wall, just nailed on temporarily.

And then I crashed.

I have the shakes really bad, and feel like throwing up.

WHOOPS!  I forgot you really should eat something before taking strong painkillers.  My bad.

I am now paying the price.  I'll have a break and something to eat and hopefully I'll be OK soon.

3.07 pm. I had a 2 hour nap, woke up and thought yeah, feeling better.

I started working in the garage again... then.... vomited. I fucking hate vomiting...  I've no idea why I'm feeling so ill. I'm used to the painkillers, and have had some crackers. Grrrr. It's slowing me down. 

I've had to stop working.  Every time I get a bit hot I vomit.  Not fun. Clearly I'm not going to get my room sorted out today, nor am I going to finish that next runner.  😖😕  Hopefully this passes quick, cos we have to load the car tonight, and have Tamahere Market tomorrow.  I can't afford to be sick.

Pffffft... what a waste of perfectly good Diet Coke!  It's all coming up again.  Ikkkk.

RHONDA:  I don't think how I've been feeling today had anything to do with my diabetes.  I thought it was painkillers on an empty stomach, but as I've been ill all day, now I think it's a bug.

But thanks for the 'care'.

ABOVE:  I managed to finish this runner on the baby machine, but I'm never using that goddam machine again!  It was a bloody nightmare to use, it didn't like the extra thickness of the fabric and batting.  I literally had to PULL the fabric through, as the feed dogs didn't cope.  *sigh*

I am feeling a little bit better right now, but not fantastic.  I hope like hell I feel better in the morning, cos setting up the stall while being sick won't be fun otherwise.  AND Yes, I will still be doing the market, I ain't no quitter.

And on that note, I'm outta here.  I'm absolutely done in and am going to bed.
