Today Will Be A Busy, Busy Day - A Quilt Catastrophe

My old quilt is self-destructing - the fabric is ripping up in the back third of the blanket from old age, I suspect. That's a shame because it is a hand-quilted piece that has some serious age - a family thing. However, I'm not one to wallow in tradition. It's dying and it needs replacement ASAP. Time to hit Amazon for an inexpensive replacement. I'll also check Kohl's since they're local and close and tolerable for white goods. I can limp along with a blanket until I get a new quilt, but I really prefer a quilt for sleeping. 

I'm thinking about ordering this quilt from JC Pennys. It's 
a great color that would work in well with the living 
room, and I rather like it. I'll think about it for the day. 

So, I'm rushing this post. It's a swimming day and I'm running slightly late because I slept until my alarm went off. It's also a trash day - the buckets for trash and recycling need to be curbside before I leave for my daily errands today. Usually I put them out as I'm heading for the gym. I expect today to be no exception to that schedule. 

I'd really like to meet a few of my long-time 
on-line friends some day. With the reunion 
being held so close to Shirebound, I was 
hoping to swing by her place for a quick 
visit and then continue on to see another 
long-tine friend in Pennsylvania. GRRR - this 
whole family reunion snafu has me quite upset. 

Thanks to Shirebound for a lovely, wintery holiday card. *Hugs* of course go out to both you and Pippin, the Wonder Dog. With this snafu that is turning into the family reunion, and the time schedule that seems to be pushing on me for it, we might not get to meet later this year. That would be a tragedy for me, but you moved from one coast to the other, and I'm here, in the midsection of the country. It's rather like getting from Scandinavia to Italy for an easy visit between friends. *sigh* I'm still going to try and get out and see you at some point. It's a necessary thing! 

Today is going to be a very busy day. I'd better 
start going right now! 

So, with a load of laundry already in the wash and a million things to do today, I'm logging off and starting my day. It's going to be a crazy one, guaranteed, and my head's a bit in a swirl trying to figure out the best schedule that will allow me to get everything done. The only thing I guarantee is that I need gasoline, and that's FIRST on my agenda. In fact, I may even buy it before I return home after my swim. Have an excellent Wednesday and I'll be back, hopefully a bit less rushed, tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
