It is exactly four weeks until we leave for Vancouver. The trip will be extended with several necessary things happening.
Probably the most important is the steroid injection which should relieve the pain I deal with daily, and which will allow me to record the two classes for SOS without the fog of pain/chemicals. I'm hoping to get more information about what the future holds in terms of options for continuing care. Given the state of health care, I'm also hoping to just book my next appointment now so that I don't have the long wait between jabs.
In the meantime I keep plugging along. Right now I'm waiting for feedback from SOS on the filming schedule and if I can get into the recording studio to set everything up on the 'free' days between the jab and the actual recording. But of course that will depend on if there is another class being recorded the week prior to mine.
Given I'll be in Vancouver for a couple of 'extra' days we are going to try and visit a couple of people, plus I will offer to sign the books Sweet Georgia Yarns has in stock. So, if you want a signed copy of my book, stay tuned!
(Pretty sure they would be amenable to selling a copy and holding it for me to sign, because the staff are really super helpful.)
Today I have a bunch of errands to run. Given I tend to isolate as much as possible (because Covid) the things that I need to do myself tend to pile up and then I wind up running all afternoon to get everything done before I crawl back into my burrow. Until the next errand day.
Tomorrow the local guild executive will meet (in my carport, where we have a nice big table to sit at and there will be home made refreshments) to discuss the coming year. What we can do, given covid, and how we can provide more services to our membership. We've basically been staying active in very basic ways but we've had a few people ask about weaving/spinning/felting lessons and it would be good to grow our membership again. Be nice to have more younger people participate, as well.
Over the past few years we have done our best to make the room more comfortable. We bought a small room a/c which helps to cool the room down when we get hot days, and last year we bought a room HEPA filter. The room windows open, and if we are aware and careful, we are hoping to begin offering small groups lessons on a more regular basis.
But it all takes some thought and lots of planning so the meeting tomorrow night to start working on the future.
Just like weaving. Or life for that matter.
In the meantime, I keep weaving with a goal of two towels per day. Yesterday I beamed the next warp and began threading. I doubt I'll get it finished today, but hopefully can get another repeat or two done so that I can finish tomorrow. Plus I wet finished the towels from the warp that was cut off on Sunday. So there are an assortment of things that need to be done. I'll try to push them forward a little today so there is less to do tomorrow.
