And the verdict is: Pneumonia

Two weeks ago I was sick and moaning about things being dull. Now, I'm realizing how much sicker people can get. Cory got diagnosed today with pneumonia after a chest X-ray revealed a huge bunch of white stuff in the upper lobe of his right lung. He's now on antibiotics and the doctor estimated he's off work until the 25th. The 25th? That's a long time from now, and the thought of not feeling better until then has got Cory a little down.

Also intimidating for a guy that rarely stays still is the thought of being at home unable to get any exercise or ride his bike for three weeks. Ideas for fun things to do while sick are greatly appreciated (he's mobile, and can walk short distances but coughs a lot so being in public isn't a great idea, his head's also a bit fuzzy so we're looking for not-too-challenging things, ie chess isn't going to work). Oh yeah, he's sick of movies and we don't have cable. help!

Giants are playing Everett for Game 5 on friday. Cory wont be able to go, but I'm tempted to go by myself, it's always a great game.

As my patient is starting to recover from his flu, Cory's now feeling worse, we went to a doctor today, but yesterday he was doing a bit better and I took some creative time to do some long needed sewing. A long jean skirt (from 1999) that I loved was too high waisted (either that or my waist has gotten larger) so I chopped off a few inches and created a new and improved waistband from some leftover quilt fabric and the skirt now sits comfortably on my hips and looks better to boot.

And some wool scraps that I bought on Bowen were finally put to use making a cute little purse. All the talk about £100 + handbags on Joanne's site motivated me to make my own similar to the ever popular Nanna Bags sold around here. This one's the first attempt, the strap's a bit long and there's not enough pockets to really satisfy me, but it's a fully lined little shoulderbag with one inside button pocket for credit cards and it's just the right size for a moleskine and a vancouver giants playoff towel. (we won last night).

I really really love my sewing machine!
