Pinroll finish

 Added a few scatters to fill the empty spaces.

Used Colour & Cotton (Garland & Marsh) for the bird.  

Relapsing today before I even test negative.

The reason I want the vaccine is to not feel as vulnerable to severe illness.  I know people are still susceptible and many of our vaxed friends have had it multiple times.  Cases as mild as a sniffle, and next time hospitalized.  One friend was hanging on to life two weeks after a booster.  A local young woman had a mild case until the sixth day when it struck with a vengeance, she died two days later.  This evil released to the world is so unpredictable. 

Enjoy your weekend folks.

Be safe, be well.

Pinroll

 Hiya.  How's everyone?  To those of you who received the vaccine, I'm envious.  

But I am up and about, I ate yesterday, and although not near proper (never was, never will be) I am so much better.  The Paxlovid meds are staying down thanks to Zofran.  Fever has left the building.

This is the little pinroll from the same BBD book that I plan to stitch titled The Budding Twigs (no idea why that name).  I will be finished with heart racing jittery dizzies from meds tomorrow and will pick up my needle then.  Using the same fabric as the Spring Green finish, the bird will be blues and browns and maybe a thread I find on the floor.

 This goes with the sewing box design, Her Fair Works, but easily adapted to any of the other great pieces in this book by using the same linen and thread colors.

Then again, I am up!  Maybe I will browse a little and find another small instead.  I've only purchased two BBD books since samplers and Christmas related are what I prefer, and very glad I did.  I've already completed four from Ooh la la.

Enjoy your day, be safe, be well.

Finish.

 Doing OK.  Weak and unsteady, probably the meds, but got this done before the shaky hands started.  

 

I like the abbreviated finish, changed bird to blue, less  background scatter, added grass, no initial.

Would like a mini pom edge in the gingerbread-ish color.

I plan to do the pinroll in this book next, when steady hands return.

Have a good one.

Be safe!

Linda Blair and I

 Dammit.

I cut the Paxlovid, used mouth gel, and vitamin water.  As soon as they hit my stomach, I can outdo Linda Blair (the Exorcist).  No warning, full force.  WTH?  So the only option I have to fight this covid is not going to work.  Great.  I'll try Tylenol for my raging fever and joints, and hope for the best.

****************

Wow

 Can't believe how quickly I am worsening.  Muscles, joints, chest, terrible chills, weak, can barely speak or swallow with the throat pain, what the hell???  Got the Paxlovid, will start with the evening dose at 5.  Between the fear of choking again (from way back when), my very small gullet, and water not being as slippery as saliva to get it down, I need to cut or crush any and all pills except for tiny.  Paxlovid is not to be cut, there are three pills to take at once twice a day, but I have no choice.

Fingers crossed this progression stops with the medication.  New rheumatologist end of March, but after three other opinions, I expect her to agree, no vaccine for me.

Take care!

*********************

Again

 covid

A few changes (of course) and I plan to remove the bottom leaf and end this design short.  I do not like words (spring green) unless on a sampler.  Adding some grass to that area and ending there, mistakenly added another row to the house height. 

I will ask for Paxlovid tomorrow, the monoclonals helped greatly last time but they are no longer offered to those like myself that are unable to get the vaccine.  Last time, no respiratory involvement, but this time all lungs and throat.  

Have a good day folks.
