I'm just going to do a quick post today as I haven't really done anything, nor has anything happened to me.
I do want to reply to Nancy's comment; she mentioned that the QVC site references the weight of the elliptical being 28 lbs. That is probably about right. It feels heavier when trying to lift the box, and I wouldn't call it lightweight, but it's manageable, or it will be when assembled. I lift a 32# bar at the gym, but wouldn't be able to lift that box over my head - at least I don't think I could.
Yesterday I mentioned that my doctors would like to see me get off HRT, and that I wrote the ob-gyn about half doses for a month to see how I feel. She replied and said I could do that, so I used my pill cutter to halve today's pill. If I start sounding like a crazy woman you will know why!
I have several blocks of fabric that I want to arrange in pieces for a mini quilt. I still think I can do a runner for the top of a dresser - that is, longer than wide. I have been wracking my brain over how and what size I should cut the pieces, and today played around drawing the layout on paper. I finally found something I think will work, and cut out a template from a manila file folder, stiff but easy to cut. It wasn't easy to come up with a design only using squares, but triangles and other shapes are more difficult to work with and get the corners crisp. I'm not totally happy with the fabrics now that I have the design, but I'll work with them or else go buy another 1 or 2 swatches.
So there you are - not exactly what I would call a quick post, in retrospect. That's my Gemini (ascendant astrological sign) working!
