Wow.

Okay.

So... I got up at about 5.45 to go to the bathroom and was seized with a back spasm that severely limited my mobility. I managed to get back to bed and my whinings of pain woke up Mr Baldwin who proceeded to try all sorts of things - ice, massage - to no avail. Now I have managed to sit up against a veritable Mt Hood of piilows and as long as I hold still I am fine - although I suspicion that if I just got up and began my day I might recover in a more quick way. I HAVE THINGS TO DO...........

So, my back and I have settled for an armed truce. It has agreed to not spasm on me if I agree to limit my mobility to something along the lines of a slab of wood.

Still, I made it out on errands with Mr Baldwin. I got embroidery floss to tie up quilts with, some thread, and a plethora (okay, like 4 cards, but plethora was more fun to say) of little buttons.

Plans:

1. Finish the Winnie-the-Pooh quilt that I started yesterday. Tied with white embroidery floss. This would be the baby blanket of which my future son will be the lucky recipient. I'm debating whether to embroider his name on it or if that's just asking for trouble.

2. Finish 3 other lap/baby-size quilts in the closet that are all identical to sell on Etsy. (It just occurred to me I may not have enough batting. Cheap batting will be in order, methinks...)

3. I also cut out an XXS baby dress. It may be an Etsy item. Then again, I do intend to make a dress in each size for my future daughter. It depends how attached I get to it whilst making it.

In other news, the future daughter's baby quilt got pulled out this morning while I was in more pain than I currently am and I worked on quilting on that a tad. Oh the joys of just TYING Master Baldwin's quilt. Shoot me if I ever volunteer to quilt anything again.

And I am eating way too many tomato-leek sandwiches on rye (with a little black pepper dashed on) since last night. We watched "A Fistful of Datas". Brilliant indeed. I do enjoy me some Klingons Out West.

Sandwich created by Mr Baldwin, top-notch. Although it had more than tomatoes and leeks on it.

Virgil's Black Cherry Cream Soda, also top notch.

Quilt top, still not finished.

Back, not much better.

Going to see if I can get the quilt top finished. This is my goal for the day.

Pray that my back is better tomorrow. I hate being so incapacitated.
