What a day I had today!  I backed my car into a dumpster trying to get out of a crowded gas station.  I had just visited a funeral home where I was trying to get my Mom's funeral arrangements completed.  I guess my mind was somewhere else.
Mom goes back to the Doctor on Tuesday, but things are not looking so good.  She is loosing a lot of weight and having difficulty eating.  She has made the decision not to have any more chemo or radiation.  It was killing her faster than the cancer.  I just wish I had more support with making all of the arrangements.  Its really hard to be strong sometimes.
  I heard from Martha today.  She is the lovely lady that I am exchanging fabrics with for the Ugly fabric quilt challenge.  The fabrics that she sent me are not all that ugly.  I mixed them with some things from my stash and spend one afternoon creating patterns for my quilt.  I really thought long and hard about what ugly is and I've also decided to incorporate the "What Cancer cannot do" blocks that I bought at the quilt show.  Cancer is UGLY!  I'll see if I can create some beauty around what cancer cannot do.
Its a quiet evening here and I'm about to tuck Linda in and head for my sewing room.  Maybe I can get a few more blocks done and forget about my day for a bit.
For those of you reading this, Linda is not my child, although in some ways she is childlike.  Linda has autism and is 60 years old.  She has been living with me for 17 years.  She is an angel sent to teach me so many lessons!
