No See Ums

No sooner did I get my finger working again when my eyes went wonky. Allergy season is migraine season for me. I used to be an itchy, sneezy mess when I was a kid but after puberty it was ocular migraines every spring. I had my latest block in progress laid out yesterday but I never did get around to stitching it. Napping is a critical activity once the eyes start to go. 



Before I hit the couch I laid out the blocks I have finished to see how the whole thing is progressing. So far so good but getting those little pieces appliqued on where the bigger blocks meet is going to be a challenge. The Mister is going to have to share the puzzle/dining table again, I fear. It's getting big.




And....speaking of The Mister, we did indeed finish putting up all the drywall yesterday. The installer guy did call us back yesterday morning at 7 am to give us some ideas on how to deal with those gaps that were driving The Mister literally to drink the day before. For those of you keeping count-he did indeed go get another bottle. That's three so far for one little bathroom-and we've still got a very long way to go.

  1. Good luck with your eyes, the pollen count, little applique pieces, and that d*** bathroom!

  2. Well, if you must keep your eyes closed, at least you don't have to look at that dadgum drywall!

  3. The blocks look stunning. I hope you feel better soon.

  4. I hear (or perhaps see!) you on the ocular migraines. The only thing to do is sleep it off. I don't know that mine are seasonal, but I have been having a lot since open-heart surgery six months ago. Hopefully they settle soon, as they are indeed very unpleasant.

    1. I'm sorry to hear you are a fellow sufferer. They really are the worst, especially when they catch you off guard away from home. I've had to have people pick me up because I couldn't see to drive home.
