It seems I need to "Catch UP" again!

 After a long day stitching along on ZOOM with the Chookshed Stitchers, including the amazing Chooky, last Friday I haven't taken a stitch!

First, On Saturday I drove to Columbia (MO about 2 Hours east of me) to visit my youngest son and his family.  I never know what we'll get up to while I'm there!  This time we were off to watch Ryan(age 7) play Soccer! Number 52 is quite serious about soccer-I think he and his cousin Kolby(age 13) will have fun together.

His team won and he scored a goal!

There was some sort of traffic mess on I-70 and both westbound lanes were at a dead stop.  I decided that there were other ways for me to get home so I took the nearest exit, well the highway patrol was pretty much insisting I get off but I had planned to anyway.  I got out the GPS function on my phone and had a lovely backroads trip between I-70 and 50 hwy.  I love back roads!  Everything is lovely , so lush and green - much rain and not enough heat to bake everything!  It might have added 15 minutes to the trip but it was so worth it-I might take that trip again!

Usually, the day after one of those trips I am pretty tired and this time was no different.  I'm getting old.  I've been sucked into the YouTube universe and I can't get out!  Strangely enough I like watching Chinese TV programs- thank goodness for subtitles.  I do think they need help saying exactly what they mean so the translations must be fairly literal.  Anyway, they are fun-who can resist watching a show called "My Girlfriend is an Alien?" Not me.

I have been trying really hard to get my veggies in the past week but there have been glitches.

Rain, for one. 

Asthma attacks for another.

I can't do anything about the rain but with medications and a face mask I CAN manage to breathe well enough to work a couple of hours or so every day.  Then, in the afternoon I just sleep.  Everything is just exhausting-even grocery shopping. This is not normal for me and I can't say that I am liking  it.  If it gets worse I will call the doctor, I'm pretty sure I can't get in to see her so if it gets really bad I'll be heading to the Emergency Room.

Today, I'm trying to get caught up a bit with housework-cause it rained last night!

Tomorrow is to be dry and Monday until evening so perhaps I can get some flowers planted.  I've found the kitchen at least! Hopefully, I can run the vacuum later.

Maybe, I'll even take some stitches later.
