Finished the second drape panel. Hard to believe it could take me nearly two hours to sew together two layers of fabric into a square. Still an improvement over yesterday, if slight.
The rods will have to wait until tomorrow.
I will be doing more sewing in the future, so I'm sure to get better at it with practice. I know most people aren't very good at sewing without practice. (Hey, I can rationalize, can't I?)
I think they look decent but haven't seen them hanging up yet. Crossing my fingers.
Something I forgot to mention the other day is that my daughter really likes her new owl blanket. On Sunday, she made the bed in her room very nicely and spread the owl blanket on top so the owl image is proudly displayed. It actually looks really good!
Her room is ultimately coming together. I feel rather ashamed it has taken me so long. Next spring, I need to get a window air conditioner for her room. I had hoped to finish her set of drawers this week but wasn't able to. Get them finished next week. If that goes smoothly enough, get some more finishing touches done to the paint. It looks good but needs a bit more.
Once daughter's room, insulation and solarium are done, I can get back to working on the bathroom and my bedroom. Though I'm not planning on those until after the beginning of the year just yet. I may be able to get the bathroom done before Christmas. Depends mostly on my energy level. I have most of the supplies on hand for current plans.
My health has continued to improve. There have been many times I have forgotten to take my supplements and had no rebound effects because of it. Not such a good idea to skip them in the long term, though. That is what has enabled the improvement. It takes time for all the damage to heal because the damage from an autoimmune disorder is not just gastric. It affects the gastric system, vascular system, central and peripheral nervous system and the respiratory system. It has the potential to affect the muscular and skeletal systems as well but I seem to have been spared that, for the most part. Not entirely but somewhat. It has caused some muscle decline because of the metabolic inhibition of protein and various vitamins. Being a vitamin junky probably has saved me on some level. Being a coffee junky has also helped.
The job and being sedentary has been both a blessing and a curse. Less emotional and physical stress has given me time to heal. Once again, strange it came about at a crucial time when I did not yet realize the extent of my illness. However, lack of activity takes a toll. So, as my health improves and weather cools, I really have to make a routine of getting some exercise. Slowly at first and then gradually accelerate.
And keep a routine of getting enough sleep.
