So...tonight just about 6.30pm I finished the second (and last for the moment) model stitch for Vicki @ India Grace Designs. I took a 2week(ish) break after having shoulder problems and after Darwin got sick, and only picked it up again on Friday, so I am quite pleased I finished as quickly as I did:)
When it comes to Darwin, he is still with us, but is getting weaker day by day. He is not eating anything, and he is now finding it difficult to jump up on the sofa and bed, so we help him up so he does not have to struggle. We want to let him live out his days at home if we can, so we are taking one day at a time keeping an eye on him for any signs of distress.
He went into the kitchen this afternoon and had a conversation with Sabeel...normally this would mean that he wants food, but now I think it is more habitual than anything else as he just turns his head away when we put food in front of him.
The plan for Christmas was to start packing everything we are not using, so we are prepared for the move, but as Darwin gets very stressed as soon as we move furniture around and bring boxes into the house, I am waiting with packing for the time being.
I have joined a 2012 One Ornament per month challenge, and will try my best to pick out 12 ornament designs I can work on over 2012. I am also going to decide on what I will work on up until the move, and will (when the time is right) pack away everything else so I can keep my focus on moving, finding work and hopefully loosing a bit of weight...
The next 2 months will be stressful...I am glad I have my dear husband at home over Christmas and New Year to take a bit of pressure off and to give us a bit of time together (and taking care of Darwin during his last days/weeks) before the stress REALLY starts...
