Feeling Down
I have been feeling quite sad the last couple of days. I don’t know if it is cause the whole BC experience this year has hit me or it’s this time last week we were supposed to go on our holiday and we...

How lovely and thoughtful of you to send positive and warm thoughts. I found last week quite difficult. Could not understand it - after all it has been a year. And that's just it. It was a year ago when I had so much to my life. A holiday to look forward to, sewing which I enjoyed and made a little extra from. Then life bit me on the bum. Having to travel to Perth for the first 12 month scan bought back all the memories of that traumatic time.
And to add to the stress of the memories the scans showed up 2 areas of concern. I was fortunate that the clinic did all follow up tests while we were still on Perth and the good news is that the areas of change are to be monitored with a follow up ultrasound in December and like you I am cautiously optimistic that at this stage all is well. I am pleased to be home in our beloved Kimberley but at the back of my mind........
Anyway I wear size 10 RM Williams boots and they are the best for kicking this bitch of a disease right in the bum!
I loved sewing the coffin pillows. They had to be perfect. (That's because I am a nit picking perfectionist)! The funeral director said to "just sew them up- no one is going to see the stitching". Could not do it. Corners had to be perfectly turned, lace stitched straight, thread matching.
My sewing room is along side my husband's wood turning room. Every so often I hear a "thunk"as a piece of wood has spun off the lathe and hit the wall with a swear word being even more audible.
Losing the NZ holiday was sad especially as we were married in the Christchurch Registery Office in November 2015. ( We had been together 21 years and finally got around to getting married!) We chose New Zealand because family and friends were getting too involved! We eloped!!!! Will always have fond memories of Christchurch.
My husband wants to know if you have ever made rhubarb wine. And if so did you have a hangover from it? A friend of his was from Russia and his rhubarb wine was pretty close to 100% proof!
I will keep you in my thoughts for Thursday and pray that your results are good.
Take care
Annie
