As part of settling into a new area, you find new doctors, someone new to cut your hair, a new place for a mani-pedi, a massage. You keep up with the usual maintenance things, like mammograms.
Today I got the results of my mammogram: the letter you don't like to get–the one that says we saw something, please come back.
I've been through this before; it's always been nothing, but still I worry a little. Keep your fingers crossed or say a little prayer for me, OK?

Long Story Short
Almost four weeks ago, I crashed and burned, health-wise, and every time I thought I was improving, I crashed even harder and found myself further away from feeling better.
As a result, in the last month, everything stopped.
I received four more beautiful birthday blocks and hurt too much to take photos and thank the block makers.
I made NO progress on birthday blocks I am making for others or any other quilting, sewing, crafting or anything.
All work on the Walking in This World exercises stopped after my last artist date, a couple hours spent at a local quilt show. Photos were taken, but never labeled or shared.
Just about my only progress in life these last four weeks is measured in doctor appointments and lab tests.
I must be some kind of crazy optimist, because I've joined Kate's little quilt swap . . . believing I will feel well enough soon enough for long enough to make a little quilt for this swap.
And I'm optimistic that I'll feel well enough to catch-up on blogging soon, too.

Drink Your Vegetables
Lately, this has replaced my morning latté–it's tastes like ginger lemonade, but is full of the goodness of all that green stuff. It's Green Lemonade from The Raw Food Detox Diet, by Natalie Rose. The bright green color is a little shocking, but the taste is seriously yum. Who needs coffee?
The recipe is easy. Juice a head of Romaine, a bunch of kale, a couple inches of ginger, half a lemon and an apple.
If, like me, you don't eat as many leafy greens as you know you should . . . consider drinking your vegetables.
