Getting Out of My Rut.

Summer is flying by so fast. The children go back to school in a month. I need to get my but in gear. I have not hit the treadmill or anything else since July 4th. I have been so obsessed with sewing moved working out way down on the list of things I need to do. It is right above laundry. I am still counting my points though and staying on track with my eating and getting in my good health guidelines.


I had to go to the E.R. Monday night. I was sewing. (surprise!) What I was working on got stuck in the feeding teeth and I was trying to work it free without any damage to the fabric and D.D. was talking to me and I must have put my hand in the way of the needle while the presser foot was down and the needle went right through the top of my finger nail and broke off. I had the needle poking out right below the tip and the thread sticking out of the my finger nail.It was not too painful. We were going to pull it out with pliers ourselves but thought better of it being as we were not sure if it was broken in pieces inside my finger and I needed a Tetanus shot. We arrived at the E.R. at 10:30 P.M. and left at 4:45 A.M. I was not surprised at how long I was there. I was surprised when the Doctor gave me a pain pill instead of Novocain. His words were "why give a needle to remove a needle?" I am sure that would have been fine had I not been waiting long and my finger was swelling a bit plus scabbing over.The needle was not budging and he was pulling on it pretty hard.  Lets face it if that was all he was going to do I could have stayed home Had a little rum and Made D.H. pull it. I had to ask for demand Novocain. I am still sewing. I think I might want to open an Etsy shop.
