Covid Good, Covid Bad

My 10 bowl covers are all done...so pleased!  Lined with Rip-stop, ready to be gifted.

Here they are in their new place...pix taken and noted in my phone in case I  forget where I put them.

My physical was Friday. I had been feeling down in the mouth and yucky.

Once home, I found Lynsey and her daddy playing canasta...My son asked for the doctor's verdict.

Without looking up from her cards, Lynsey said...."It's Covid Brain"....How do you know that Lynsey??

"Just looking at you", she said...in her wise 11 year old voice..OMG

Well....our Lynsey was right...My doctor said to get out of the  house with mask and hands washed and distancing,  If I stay home  isolated, I will die of something else..

So motivated today after my outing to my friend's driveway yesterday. that

I checked out another UFO..

Jeni Baker Drawstring bag tutorial 

Finding a box where some were cut out already, I finished all the cutting and did some sewing.

Even at my age, I am still quite silly.  I LOVE this turquoise and white polka dot.

I did not want to cut into it....I wanted to save it....save it for the trailer hitch on the hearse.???But, I got brave....I am making these bags partway ...so when I come back to them, it will be so easy and fulfilling to finish them up..I have eight ready in the box for another day. 

Very relaxing to do a project half way...no pressure at all to finish...

Now an update on my son's broken wrist.

He wants to be independent and not have  his mother  use him as an example of our lousy healthcare system on her blog.....Ok...I get it...He is 35.. He has now been gifted the co-pay for his visit.

However, he chooses to wait for his appointment to determine his sliding fee at the clinic...  He was told by that clinic, that if he chose to have his wrist repaired before this appointment in SEPTEMBER!!,They would consider it a PRE-EXISTING condition and not cover it at all.

Just sayin'

Ok...I am getting fired up again....For those of you (none of my friends, of course) who believe with all your heart that healthcare is not a human right, that you have to work for it....My son is working as usual, fixing friends and neighbor cars....and no they do not give him health insurance

When I took these pictures, he told me that it was a bit hard getting the alternator out of this car using only one arm, taking so much longer

Here we have this state of affairs at the O'Quilt's household while my boy has his broken wrist.Really, I do  not care.  Covid has given me clearer insight.into what is important and what is not.

Below...friends to the rescue...a salad all made and ready...Thank you Linda....sooo good.

And so it goes...Son off to Autozone again tonight for another part for this job.  I swear he likes auto stores, just like I love fabric stores.No pictures of dear Aoife today.. Sad, but true.

More grueling PT for me tomorrow.

Did I mention how I dislike this new blogger which will not let me single space.and changes color on me without my permission...distorts the formatting, etc...And, my pictures are so big.
