No quilting this weekend. My dad went back to the emergency room Saturday. This time they kept him. They said it was a flare-up of his congestive heart failure, and his potassium was too high. Why didn't they notice all this the day before? Anyway, he's been doing much better since Sunday, and they are probably sending him home today. I hope they know what they are doing - I know he hates being in the hospital and would rather be home, but it does no good if in a day or two he feels awful again, and ends up back there.
On top of that, Saturday night I began feeling sick, and I felt pretty lousy all day Sunday. After a brief trip to the hospital Sunday morning, and to my dad's to pick up his paper and Saturday's mail, I went home and slept most of the day. So, no quilting this weekend. I probably won't get a chance to get back upstairs now till the weekend.
Although I didn't go to the emergency room this time, while sitting at home waiting for news, I reverted to knitting on the new dishcloth. It's not done yet, but it's going very fast, so if I get back to it this week, it won't take long. Otherwise, I did a bit of work on the log cabin this week, and it is coming along nicely. I'm going to love this blanket when it's done ... it's going to be warm. Too bad it wasn't done now - we've been having this hideously cold weather, temperatures below zero in the morning, only a high of about 7 yesterday, wind chills between -15 and -25. Of course, the log cabin is large enough now that even just working on it, it covers me up nicely, so that's a bonus.
They've closed all the schools in northern Ohio. I wish bosses had the same consideration ... I really don't want to go out in this, and I have to get gas in the truck. Ugh. Well, I'm off to finish cooking Tyler's breakfast, and then to get ready for work.
