The summer of ‘25 :(

 It’s an understatement that I did not have the best summer. After having some health troubles for at least a year, I got admitted to the hospital 3 times: first an operation that was useful but did not solve my problems, secondly a procedure that had a unforeseen complication and didn’t solve it either and third a totally unexpected admission for a few days that involved a 112 call and an ambulance. ( and I watch those emergency shows on tv: “911 what s your emergency?” and “ is the patient breathing?” Luckily we could have a laugh about that ín the ambulance and we even discussed that show “the Pitt”with the ambulance staff)

Still, nothing is solved and I have more questions now than I had before…

But! Enough about that! Oktober is round the corner and I started walking daily again to regain strength and stamina,

and to get the stress and anxiety out of my mind and body..

And on the bright side:

I  have another bookbinding workshop in the agenda ánd I will go to a craftfair with the grandgirls ( plus my DD) A TikTok star known as “ craftchick” will be there and the girls are all excited by that..

( craftchick? Yes, I feel old)

So fun things ahead to look forward to!

I borrowed my BikerSons old sportwatch to monitor my health and to remind me to exercise. Every so often it buzzes and tells me to get up and move. ( and that doesn’t mean :go to the kitchen and grab some snacks) 

When I was quilting the GossipInTheGarden quilt this afternoon, to my utter surprise, it buzzed to say that I should take a breath and relax because it noticed that my stresslevels were getting a bit high.  Wtf???

Never a dull moment with modern technology….
