It's a bust...

This week has been a bust! Tuesday night my stomach started hurting. Wednesday my stomach was in my throat all day. Thursday and Friday involved many trips to the bathroom and unhappy stomach cramps. Today has involved stomach cramps still but I'm feeling a bit better. At least three other people have been out at work so maybe it's just a bug that's going around. Whatever it is, I want it gone.

Needless to say, I have gotten very little done today except making mom a new rice bag for her shoulders. I intended to make myself one but don't have, or didn't readily find, a big enough scrap for the second one. I made a square one for my eyes instead but still want to make the shoulder one. Mom heats and uses hers multiple times a day and finds it very helpful.

The last one I made her suffered a fatal accident on Friday when dad pulled on it, not realizing he was laying on it, and tore it almost in half. The fabric was dingy and weak so it was time for a new one anyway. I love this fabric. I wish I had enough to make a dress out of it but this is all I have.
