I used to work for a Bank call centre from noon to 8 supporting branch staff only. Let's just say I used to explain my job as being paid to surf the net, IE boring. We were not allowed to surf social media sites but blogs were fine. 1 PM was always my let's see what Barbs up to today, so thanks for the consistent daily posting. I'm retired now, at 47, (good planning, or extreme luck, in finding a hard working life partner) and find myself often looking at the clock thinking how did I get stuff done while I was still working? -- Sorry about the nose diagnosis but your friend is a gem! I have such a friend named Marilyn who will send me funny stuff in the mail addressed to Tequila Tammy. I often wonder what my postman thinks. Will close by saying Espolon reprisado is my tequilla of choice when I'm not lucky enough to have Cassimigos. All booze is expensive in Canada :-( Stephanie https://www.blogger.com/profile/15522976343358415669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-74078319596772369532020-10-31T21:41:01.217-07:002020-10-31T21:41:01.217-07:00Hope all goes well with your procedure.

He has had many of these surgeries on his face and ears and some in Vancouver,(BC) and some in Mesa, AZ... and now a little closer to home in New Westminster (BC). I don't like being the nurse for these surgeries but after one particularly ugly surgery on his ear which involved skin grafts, I actually got a good report card when the surgeon saw him on a follow up visit. The beauty of the Mohs is that when you leave the room after surgery, you know it is gone.. vanished from your skin and body. And, after all the ugly healing, in the case of my husband, you would never know that they dug out a lump of flesh. Their stitching skills are perfection. So, hang in there... and I hope Mike is a good nurse who can deal with applying bandages that stay stuck in place. I also think that vacuuming, dusting, cooking, grocery shopping and cleaning toilets are tasks that you cannot perform while recovering... give Mike a head's up about that!

What I thought would be just a small incision (after all,it was only a tiny spot) turned into a 3 incher down my cheek. But, no scar. Sending good thoughts and prayers.

First, the elderly thing -- you are only creeping up, you are definitely not yet there. I know this because, when I turned 70, I realized, smack in the gut, that I had finally crossed that border. Now, at the end of next month, I will have to adjust to being officially OVER 70. So trust me, you are just a wannabee so simmer down, little one. And yes, encroaching age coupled with Covid has helped by having thoughts of death battle with thoughts of election possibilities, so it is something of an ugly blessing that way. But that was also the inspiration for getting those christmas quilts done and wrapped early, so silver lining.<br /><br />Your quilt is going to be amazing, as they all tend to be, and you have once again amazed me with your foray into quilters' math. I would have ditched the pattern and just come up with a simple square and stip border. (Brushes hands.) Done.<br /><br />Still love love loving that hobo quilt. <br /><br />Oh Moh! (I knew you would appreciate that, with your inclination toward terrible puns.) I am sorry you have to go through this again.<br /><br />So I am not jealous of that. And, old news, of course I am jealous of your skill. But I am also deeply, painfully, (almost but not quite bitterly) jealous of Sue. She is the BEST friend. I want her, or one just like her. She will have to show up, ready made, without any effort on my part, and I would appreciate it if that could be arranged quickly. I hope the Universe is listening, for once.gpchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054854655973836794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-36398740014809445792020-10-30T10:14:01.561-07:002020-10-30T10:14:01.561-07:00I hear you about COVID socializing.

If I'm feeling the least bit isolated all I have to do is hang out on my driveway for a few minutes and someone will be along. We all keep our distance and I (being an old Girl Scout) am always checking to make sure I am upwind!<br /><br />As for "elderly"? That term really grinds me, too! I keep forgetting (intentionally?) that I'm going to be 68 next month. I explain to anyone willing to listen that the brain is 30 years younger than the body it's trapped in!Cathy Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16151435698277555521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-4820357955947178642020-10-30T10:00:58.862-07:002020-10-30T10:00:58.862-07:00[Darn it all]Life really can throw things at you f...[Darn it all]Life really can throw things at you fast--my hubs had <br />"Mohs on his nose" (poetry?? ) last year.
