Friday was about the pre-admission testing, and Gary gave me a ride, figuring even though the hospital's just down the road, I'd be worn out. Which I was, and so happy not to have to drive home. Also he was right at the door, no need for me to hobble across the parking lot.
All the tests over two hours(!) showed I'm fine, good to know.
While I was there, Mike the contractor texted to say he wanted to do a test drive of the risers he created for the sofa. It has huge fat legs, nothing on the market would fit.
So when I got home he tried them out, and had me test for height, much better, and will do the finish work then install them.
So I had a pot of tea and some choc cherries, this is why I ordered them, pre-planning. And I'm so grateful I have a team.
And today I made this lovely discovery which I recommend you check out, if you love textiles, embroidery, protest, international collaboration, and determination.
It's the Red Dress Project, brought to us by Marion of Marion's World.
Some details of the stitching, from hundreds of stitchers of many nations, as it traveled the world to be worked on. Kirstie got funding to pay the stitchers, as well as the other expenses of shipping and travel -- courier shipped.
This is a great story of art and initiative and cooperation. If you go to Marion's YouTube channel you'll also see links to the Red Dress website and Kirstie's website.
It's worth following, so valuable. It's made me remember my own embroidery on hold because of Helen, and I think I'm getting back the mojo to continue.
Happy day everyone, find your mojo if it's hiding under the bed.
And today's resistance, always resisting, no matter what, was a letter to the billionaire Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick.
I demanded that he walk back his recent assertion that his 90+ year old mother wouldn't worry if her social security didn't arrive. He claimed anyone who did must be operating a fraud. I pointed out that I wouldn't worry either if my son were a billionaire!
Anyway it landed and got an acknowledgement of sorts
