What a day!!

It is late Saturday night.  I am going to post a short bit about my day.  I ate breakfast with my parents and then headed to Columbia.  I had a very nice visit with my folks.  I sure do miss them.

I arrived in Columbia around 12 and picked up Shawn.  We went to Koleen's fabric store.  Holy cow!  It is a wonderful store.  You would not believe the wide variety of fabrics they have.  I could have spent the whole day there and practically did.  I got several pieces of fabric.  I can't tell you about them because some of them are for Christmas presents.  I did pick up some material for a couple of table runners for me.  I'll post pictures when I am done with them.  They will not be completed soon, but I will get them done after my Christmas quilt and the presents.  After Koleen got off work, we went to supper at a Mexican restaurant that was downtown.   It was good and filling.  After that, we went to Walmart and picked up a few things.  We went home and started sewing on a project.  I brought my machine, cutters and iron.  We had a great time.  About halfway through the project, we got a call from Koleen's friend, Dot.  She had her wisdom teeth pulled Friday.  She was very sick from the medicine.  She had been throwing up since Friday afternoon.  We went over to her house.  She was in terrible shape.  We tried to get a hold of her dentist, but he did not return our messages we left at the emergency number.  We finally had to take her to the emergency room;  we really had no choice.  Once we were at the hospital, they gave her shots of pain medicine, nausea medicine, and IV liquids.  She looked better after about 15 minutes on the IV.  Beth, Dot's roommate, arrived and took over for us.  We came home. We did get our project finished and I retired to bed.  It is now about 12:00 midnight.  This is really late for me.

I am not sure how much sleep I will get.  I forget how noisy an apartment full of college students can be.  Koleen also has a kitten, Xavier.  He has a little bel on his collar and is dinging all around the place.  He has jumped on the computer at least 5 times since I started to post.  Koleen warned me that he might want to sleep right by my face.  I have never had an animal sleep by my face, so we will have to see how this works out.  Tomorrow, we might go bike riding.  If it is cold, we will probably not do that.  No sense in risking getting sick or catching a cold.  I will probably head home around noon or so.  It is not a bad drive back, but it is a little boring.  I have somethings to accomplish at home if I am not tired when I get there.  We shall see.
