when enough is enough


Enough is enough #1:  Remember this?  It’s why I haven’t been blogging. This project from the winter of 2017-2018 has kept me busy.  And I have given up on it once again.  I gave it my all for a couple of weeks and now it is back in a plastic bin waiting for 2025.  I hope to be more patient next year and finish sewing together the second half, thus completing the actual quilt top.

Enough is enough #2:  After six weeks of dealing with a diagnosis of “iron deficiency anemia” and four medical professionals having four different opinions on the severity and the source, I am done with worrying about it aside from taking an iron supplement.  Talk amongst yourselves, people, and get back to me if you figure it out.

Enough is enough #3:  The oversized closet in the main bathroom was so crammed full of stuff and so awful that I wouldn’t take a “before” picture.  I’ve wanted to tackle that project for several years, but time and energy and motivation were low.  But yesterday I waded in, hauling out mops, brooms, and a huge assortment of out-of-date “stuff”.  I even found an empty gallon of paint and the bucket that belonged to it.  Where on earth did that come from and how long had it been in there???

Enough is enough #4:  Again, no photo, but the beautiful navy and cream Oriental rug I loved in my bathroom has gone to the dump.  It shed.  I mean, it never stopped shedding.  I couldn’t take the mess any more, so Banjo Man has taken my pretty runner to the dump and I will no longer deal with blue lint and blue dust.

Next up?  I don’t know.  I’m going to roam around the house looking for things that annoy me.

Don’t worry, Banjo Man is safe.

    Iron deficiency anemia has not diminished your sense of humor nor writing skills. Keep it up!

    We/I are/am trying to clean stuff out too. We have spent many hours looking at our 3,000 slides and have thrown a lot of them away. Some are being digitized, thanks to Tom. Others were made into DVD’s earlier for our kids. What a process!

    Luckily Banjo Man is safe… he doesn’t shed much.
