June 13/18

So, there has not been much stitching taking place around here because life has kind of taken over. My hometown and much of the surrounding area in New Brunswick just went through a record spring flooding where so many roads were closed that school was cancelled for three days in my town because the detours alone were 1-2 hours. Then, between various family and work issues, I found myself battling anxiety while almost doubling my usual work hours per week. The fella' went away for 4 days to see his daughter graduate from university so I found myself eating supper late at night after feeding, watering and walking the critters.

I have done some stitching and I will eventually find the energy to take a photo or two. I did buy myself this little beauty:

which has come in handy to keep the fella' happy with a constant supply of chocolate chip and chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. 

I also had to replace my favourite sneakers because our puppy decided that they should be slip ons:

Also, as part of a lifelong battle with depression and anxiety, I have recently been working on my friendships by dropping a line or two to a friend every day. As a result, I met one friend's three new kittens and I had a leisurely lunch with another friend yesterday in Halifax. Feeling more connected to people helped me nip the most recent bout in the bud.

Anyhow, that's what is up with me. What's up with you?
