What did we do? We spent a few hours looking at fabric... and patterns and fabric. My sister is a dressmaker and got enough material to make 7 items for $70. She showed me how to use the overlocker I was given and I finished a couple of bed poncho's I'd started for the grandchildren. I tried on all my new-prior cancer clothes and we made alterations as they are all a bit big! Yay. I bought some fabric $4 metre to make myself a skirt. I haven't made clothes since 1987 but I'm sure I can do it!
And we walked and walked around car yard after car yard. What a nerve racking job it is looking for a car. I want a Toyota, preferably hatchback and has to be 4 doors! I think I've found one tonight, so I'll send it off to AA tomorrow and hopefully it'll pass the test okay. It's my price if I don't have it groomed or painted and it's just what I've been looking for. So fingers crossed everything works out.
As for weight loss.. another .8 gone over weekend but I have been crook again. Found a few more things I can't eat with IBS including cooked tomato's. This is no fun, I can't eat many of the good diet foods not even lettuce. But when I do eat I look like I'm ten months pregnant and feel it too!
Work was excellent again. My appointments are up to 101% and another 5 months till end of year. I love being busy.
Stress levels - I'm hanging in there. It's getting easier to give myself the right messages. I need lots of sleep and little stress. And it's been really good having my sister here because she listens and understands. Little sis couldn't make it over the weekend, she wasn't feeling well, but there'll be another time.
Off now - more sewing - boring huh? Fingers crossed this car will be okay.
Take care.
