    I have had 3 enquiries so far.
    So fingers crossed that I find the right person.
    I have had to bring work home to do as I am much slower while my hands are playing me up.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    So I am back from Oxford, Dgd is in school and I am waiting for my blood tests. Then on to work. I am determined to get my health back on track so that I can make the business work better.
    I need to get my accounts double checked as I seem to have different figures on my online package then in my bank account and I can't seem to see where the difference is.
    I am concerned that I am not able to sew as fast as usual and that it is already impacting on my cash flow.
    I am aware that I have a long way to go before I feel safe in the business cash flow and be comfortable with my situation.
    Time to get ready to go.
    I need a little positivity today. I seem to have lost it at the moment.

    Cooking dinner but it's not going to be ready for dgd before brownies so she's snacking:(
    I have had to bring work home to do as after staff left I didn't get any peace to finish anything.
    So I am going to try and work while dgd is at brownies.
    I have a lovely stranger blocking my car in yet again so getting out may be fun if they don't move soon.
    I am cold today despite wearing a knitted dress and cardigan and winter tights! Heating up too!
    Today I did my blood test before work, tomorrow I finish early as I start my dental work. Eek. - and I have some 30 odd jobs in to do before Friday is over!
    So late nights every night of the week as my evening course starts this week too.

    Well I think I shall have a glass of wine. I have just finished sewing for the evening. Two items I couldn't finish because I don't seem to have a zip foot at home. But the rest of the Trousers finished anyway, and a sash made for a bridesmaid dress.
    Broadchurch possibly!

    Sitting up in bed, SAD lamp on. Kettle on, and horoscope read. Apparently I am too wait and let events settle. Mmm.
    I am sum what nervous today as I have the dentist at 3pm. 1 1/2 hours of it, as I start to get the first of my implant treatment and I am scared to the core.
    I have decided that I better walk and not drive the car today incase I am too groggy to drive home. But that does mean carrying a heavy bag of work through the town first thing.
    While watching Broadchurch I started to up cycle a top that I had been given. It had a polo neck on it and I can't wear anything tight on my neck, ever since I was attacked as a teenager. So I unpicked it, turned over the edges and stitched itvand the armholes with a decorative stitch. Then I decided I wanted a reverse appliqu! and added a fabric hear in the chest. Certainly looking very different now!
    I sat playing with the fabric from the neck, and practiced slashing and weaving it. Getting some texture into the fabric. Not sure if I will use it for anything other than the experiment but who knows.
    I think I needed to keep my mind busy and off of the dentist at the time. I stayed up quite late, it was about 11.30 before I went to bed. I was trying to get really tired so I would sleep. Which worked until 6.05 today!
    I tried getting back to sleep but gave up at 6.30
    I am hoping to achieve a better work day today and to get as many of the old jobs finished as possible. I have had some since 27th Feb so slipped past a week turn around. I don't like doing that, but I have had so many urgent things that have jumped the que. so I am going to have to start well today and achieve as much as possible before the dentist. I don't think I will feel like sewing afterwards.

    I am back from the dentist and boy I feel like I have had 10 rounds with a boxer. As the numbness is slowly going and the aches are taking its place.
    I think I will be going to bed early tonight.

    Just got up to my bedroom to get ready for bed and dgd shouts help. She slipped on her stool in the kitchen and grabbed the door. One broken kitchen cupboard then!!
    Did I say anything? Did I threaten to murder her? Nope! I just took the rest of the doors screws out, put it in the gap by the fridge and said don't go in the kitchen again today and came back to bed. I have no energy to get mad. I will just need to get a replacement cupboard as the wood is all splintered, although I may try a little polyfilla first!
    Dgd is now in her room watching tv!
