So I wrote out a long post on my iPad and now I find where on there it tells me it is loading the post, here on my desktop, it shows nothing,

This has been my life on the computer lately.

To be frank, I worked myself into being sick.  Not helped by the fact that everyone around me has something that takes weeks to get over according to Dr’s.  Right now, I am having massive sinus issues, so much they are causing other issues, but nowhere as bad as my mom, who has inhalers and those awful 6 a day then 5 a day and so on pills.  And a nasty cough that sounds so bad.  I have massive irritation causing other issues, not able to breathe, headaches from hell, and being all over yucky. My mom and her boss have the same thing and heard that it will take weeks to get over this.

I also spent all Thursday working to get my computer where I can use it.  I went through 8 Microsoft techs, and was up after 2:30 in the morning, but I am slowly loading things onto the computer.  Today I am going to work on the banners.

Yes, the banners for the contest.  I am sorry, but my life became a train wreck that I could not seem t control at the end.  I was trying to finish quilts, thinking I had mailed out things like Christmas cards on another day and then going OH SHIT!! I need to make cookies! to it being Christmas the following weekend.  Only after all that, on Christmas Eve did I fall completely ill, sleeping the entire way home from my Brother’s.  I got up to open presents and then later to make dinner which thankfully was just lasagna.   And since then I have been sleeping and trying to get better.

It was only after Christmas that my mom and M was cleaning up and found Royal Ember’s shirt I made for her as well as some other things that I thought were done that I realized that Christmas cards didn’t go out nor other things I thought (Christmas Contest) were not done, and M had to calm me down from a minor Panic Attack.  Minor only because I had no energy for a major one.

After that was when we realized how bad my desktop was and led us to what happened Thursday.  Right now I am taking it easy.  The contest entries are freaking awesome.  I laughed and enjoyed them as I read them as I was bed bound.  Right now, I am up for awhile, and plan to work on them.  As Connor tries to give me some stuff he finds who knows where.  I am gaining a pile of paper right now…

Also, I found out that Teavana is going away!!!!  I am trying to find Spice of Life tea, which is my absolute favorite.  And I was told to go to David’s tea for my loose leaf selection.  Has anyone been there?  They are in the northern parts of US and in Canada. I have no idea anything about them, so I am turning to you, my readers, to find out if they are any good.  Tea is not to be taken lightly!

I wanted to let you guys know what is going on.  The good news, is that I am taking a break from quilting for a month to start working here.  Then it will be quilting on the weekends or whenever I hit a wall to help out.  I needed something else to do to other than being on the computer 24/7.  I will be starting a quilt page for this site, so showcase what I am doing.  I am NOT perfect, but I am learning.  As I was told at the International Quilt Show, there are no Quilt Police.  Just work and do the best I can.

Maybe I need to think that way on writing and stop worrying myself to so much work?  ::snorts:: As if it won’t sink in for quilts…..
