It was one of those days. No matter hard I tried, I couldn’t get the kinks out. I finally gave up and sat down and sewed all afternoon. At least I got something done. I had picked up a pizza at the market yesterday, so. it was ten minutes in the oven and supper was ready. I got some knitting done. It was very humid today. Did that have something to do with it?
I got my Stitches stuff in the mail. I have been thinking about leaving here early on Thursday. I could stop downtown, pick up my badge at the registration desk, and attend the Market. It’ll be open from 5PM to 8PM for attendees. That way, I wouldn’t be tempted to shop at lunch. I could go outside, maybe down to the harbor, and get some air and exercise.
Here’s the baby.

So I took him to the vet. He got a shot and an antibiotic to take for a week. His lungs and heart are good. His teeth are not too good which may cause some of his problems, but, at his age, it would be too traumatic to do anything about them. Excuse me while I pet this cat.
OK. Back to Elvis. The vet gave him the same thing he got last year since it did the job. He said to call if he wasn’t 100% better in a few days and he’d give him something else. I like this guy. He’s sensible. I wish more were like him. And that includes human ones.

Here’s my sock. I like this pattern. I think I’d like it in a sweater.

Elvis is so cool. When the weather is pleasant, he goes for a walk. He likes to look around and he’ll check anything that looks different.
Doug was helping Paul get his boat out of the water for winter. Paul got out the trailer and they hooked it up and took off. Linda saw Elvis in her bushes so she was keeping an eye on the trailer. She didn’t want Elvis to get hurt. She should have kept an eye on Elvis. The front door was open and Elvis decided to have a look around in there. Later, Linda thought she saw a big rat in the hall and screamed. Elvis looked at her like she was crazy, but he decided to leave anyway. Her dog was doing a happy dance because he really likes my cats. Elvis, on the other hand, knows that all dogs are idiots and their feet have no attachment to their pea sized brains. He went out through the door to the garage and came home to his deck.

Little Maudie wants to play. And she doesn’t want to hear anything about coming again another day.
I, on the other hand, managed to get a few things accomplished. The quilting is finished and I cut, sewed, and ironed the binding. I still have to sew it down. Some knitting was also accomplished.

So I thought that I would blog now. I have a bunch of other boring crap that must be done, too. We washed and hung everything out since it was so windy. It all smells so good. Darn. I just remembered I didn’t wash any nighties. Well, at least the sheets will be nice.
I have been trying to get my supplies for Stitches. I bought yarn for the purse and some reading material.
Zippo helped with product placement.

“Tell us, Elvis. At the ripe old age of 18, what do you attribute to your longevity?”
“It’s simple. I don’t run and I don’t jump and I get 22 hours of sleep every day.”
I’m too sexy for my body.

I tried to come with something better, but nothing materialized. It’s been good sleeping weather. Elvis is back to sleeping with us and now Zippo has joined him. Maude prefers the dirty clothes basket. She likes my quilt for naps. Speaking of quilts, mine is almost finished. Part six and five are done and were fun to do. I have started on part seven. If I can co-ordinate with Maude, I should finish it a few days.

I worked a long time on my quilt, probably too much. The last lines don’t look good and I may take them out and do something different. I did finish part three and I decided that part four was unnecessary. I started on part five, but I should not have. I was getting tired and it’s messy. Maude, however, does agree that I should have stopped earlier. She would have had more time to sleep.
Mary was out for a while this afternoon.
I knit for a while this evening, but it doesn’t look too good either.

Maude is much happier today. She has been out all day terrorizing the neighborhood which certainly beats terrorizing the inside of my house.
She didn’t even come in to nap. She was a happy girl.
Otherwise, the day was rather uneventful. I went to knitting group this afternoon. I did some quilting this evening. I may have that sucker done in a week or so.

Maude hates rain and getting wet in general. It’s all our fault that she had to stay in today. We let her out on the front porch, but she couldn’t go anywhere. She sat out there and hollered. We didn’t want the neighbors to think that we were cat killers so we let her back in. She got into a lot of trouble inside and was not at all happy.
Zip on the other hand,didn’t mind it at all.
