life and travel

Life has been busy.  We went to my Dad's for doctors appointments.  My eye may be healing.  But a second opinion has been floated for more ideas.  Yes, my ophthalmologist is stumped.  And stem cell transplant has also been mentioned.  We keep hoping the path we are following is working and will stick.  It did not stick last time so I am keeping fingers crossed.

All the boys were with me for this trip.  I took the small dinosaur to the arboretum with me because we were waiting.  We ran and looked at trees.  He sat under a tree and was calm and still.  Not his usual.  During the flights and airport trips he reminded me of a dinosaur more then usual.  It was how he was holding his body.

Then it rained.  We still went to the Japanese Garden.  I love Japanese Gardens and Seattle has a lovely one.

The small boys could have spent hours there except they were soaked from the rain.  Cold fingers and toes.  But lunch that day gave me food poisoning. 

I am still recovering.  I am having difficulty finding balance of how much I can do.  Even balance of finding how much I can eat.  Very small bits are what are settling best.  And yes, I am trying to eat all the probiotic food.  I am on a plane again to see my Dad early next week and I just wish to be well for that.

But life continues.  I took out two sweaters that I decided I wished to be less fitted.  As I told a friend, I no longer work in an office, I do not need anything that fits that close.  I keep thinking about making myself a jeogori (a piece of tradional Korean clothing) because I can sew that and work much like a sweater for me.  Between my shoulder blades is often cold.

I was able to start bread this week.  The small dinosaur boy decided to play with all my quilting squares so I needed to clean that up.  I need to sit at my sewing machine for my sew.  It is just small fingers wish to help.  Hand sewing can fit that need.  I am that point again of finding balace between family, creative, and travel.  One of the things I am working on is taking a hike every weekend.  I will just keep working on it.
