I have finally made enough space in my room to allow me to work on that one *in addition* to my piece work on one quilt and repair/rehabilitation of another one.😜

AM- awakened at 5am (PDT) by Canoodles barfing in the hall outside our bedroom. After cleaning that up, I tried to go back to sleep, but of course, could not. So, started the day at 5:30am after 7ish hours of sleep🥱🛌💤
Outside is dark since the sunrise is getting later, (6:46am today),of course, since we’ve passed the Equinox, which was Monday.
At least it’s clear outside: 47 (F)degrees feels like 45 with LOW pollen☀️🌻🤧. I haven’t used antihistamine eye drops for the last couple days due to pretty severe eye dryness in the daytime. Have had to to stick with the Systane like I use at night to lube them up. A couple days this week, I had to use some old post-op prednisolone (steroid)drops, as my right eye was super annoyed at being dry👁️🌵

AM- awake at nearly 7am (PDT) after a rugged night. Canoe had woken me up at 11:40 pm pawing at me, but after lots of petting, he went back to bed. However, it took me an hour to get back to sleep myself.🥱 Husb had arrived back home last night before dinner, so “life” was different again. I wound up with less than 8 hours of sleep, i think…🛌💤🥴🥱🥱🥱
Outside is hazy, sunny, 40 (F)degrees with LOW pollen🔥☀️🤧….wonder what the “mold count” is, tho….? My face is swollen every morning😕
