Schrodinger Day

 

This week has several 'Schrodinger" days in it.  Right now I am waiting until it is time to head to the hospital and get the injection in my back.  And then - hopefully - tomorrow I might hear about the new drug I have asked to try - even though it is off even the 'off' list of options.  Last year I changed pharmacies, and I'm so glad I did.  It's a smaller owner/operator business and so far I have received excellent 'customer service'.  

The new drug is a 'hail Mary' option and I've been warned that it doesn't help everyone (well NONE of them helped thus far without adverse effects that are just not tenable) and I feel like I have to at least *try* and see if it will help me.

Yesterday I spent what energy I had on pressing (half of the towels ready to be pressed) and then threading.  The threading draft is quite a complex one, made more so because I didn't want to shift heddles on shafts so I split the threading between the front 8 and the back 8 shafts.

After I get the injection everyone tells me I'm to take several days of 'light duty' so I have the rest of the pressing to do, and then the final polish/edit for the current article.  If I can see my way to getting that into the mail today, I can cross that one off the list.

I'm of two minds about that article, but ultimately it will be the editor who will decide if it is appropriate for the magazine.  However, if it is not, I still have time to re-write it.  One of the advantages of not waiting until the last possible second to finish a project!

In the meantime, I have sort of put the next article aside until I can clear my desk off and focus on it.  In the meantime this warp is another option (the previous warp was intended for the article, but I'm not entirely sure if I'll use it).

Yesterday I booked the guild room to do a weavers get together on May 25 at 1 pm.  Hopefully I should have my hard copy of WEFT magazine by then, and I'll bring the two boxes of samples I did for those so that people can see them up close and personal.  :)

But for this morning, I'm trying to distract myself until it is time to leave the hospital in about an hour.  I won't thread because I'm focused on getting the shot and will be too distracted to follow the draft.  It is just better if I sit in this liminal space, waiting to see if the jab will, or will not, work.

Schrodinger.  It is, or is not - until you find out.
