Update on me:
I went to the doctor this week and found out I have a condition in my feet called Neuropathy. Which basically means my feet burn and tingle all the time. I was given a new medicine that causes drowsiness. Which is funny because I went to him for fatigue and he gave me a B12 shot for energy. Does anyone else see the irony of all this?
I bought an elliptical machine from Walmart, had it shipped to my house and my DH started putting it together. It had a total of 78 parts...and wouldn't you know it that one of the 78 parts didn't work. I had to call them on Monday to let them know and they shipped me a new part. It finally arrived today!
School has been going well. I am not sure if I posted that I am teaching 2 sections of English this semester. It is a little nerve wracking but I do enjoy a challenge.
I have been reading quite a bit as you can tell. I decided to review all my books. If any of you use Goodreads I am on there! My too be read pile is getting bigger and bigger.

beautiful stitching xxx
So sorry to hear about your neuropathy. My MIL suffered with it for years. Hopefully the meds will help.

Great job on your Fairy Tales. It's going to be a beauty!
Fairy Tales is looking good. I hope your feet feel better.
Great progress! Love your new pieces. I have Ghoul School started. I just LOVE the pet ornaments!!
Faery Tales looks great Vickie! Great stash shopping!
Congrats on your progress, Vickie.
Did the doctor say why you've developed neuropathy? My feet hurt all the time... doctor said it was plantar fascitis. I call it getting old! lol
Nice stashing. After I saw your and Dee's post, I went and shopped too. Enablers... the lot of you! ;-)
Fantastic progress and great stash! And so sorry about the neuropathy - both my parents deal with that, I know it's not fun!
Amazing progress Vickie. You got so much done on it. Love your new stash.

Great progress :) Wonderful new stash too! I have nerve damage but in a different part of my body and have been on Neurontin (Gabapentin) for years. It's helped me so much but I do remember it making me very drowsy at first. I take B12 and Iron supplements for energy, although I am sure shots would work better. I will look to see if you are on my Goodreads list.
Beautiful stitching! Great first post too! I don't use Goodreads that often but I am on it. B12 shots are good but sometimes a daily supplement can be better for you. Sorry to hear about the Neuropathy. It is a terrible and painful disease that my mom had suffered with.

Dang you have to have the fastest needles in North America! Congrats.
Hey Vickie -- and where are you on GoodReads? Us stitching readers need to stick together. :)
Lovely progress, a beautiful project.
I hope the medication helps with the pain, neuropathy is no fun, my aunt suffers with that.
I love the stitching Vickie. Ooo I do see thw irony. My Mom takes a lot of meds and some are to simply stop the side effects of others..it is mess fine tuning them all. Hope you see some results
