Busy day today, for me anyhow. I accompanied mum to an appointment at Katoomba hospital. I still can't get comfortable in hospital, regardless of the amount of time I've spent in them, but mum is always happy to be my support with appointments, I thought I should return the favour.
Mercifully the appointment was really quick, so we were out of the depressive place in no time. I love exploring katoomba, I just hate the hill... The Main Street of Katoomba is a really steep hill, not good for someone whose oxygen saturation drops dramatically with any exertion. I did have my trusty oxygen tank, & had many regular pit stops, so I survived, not that I climbed the entire hill. We stopped & had lunch at a little cafe decked out Art Deco style, it was very dark & moody thanks to the dark wood panelling on the walls. As it was raining & miserable & rather chilly, I really felt likes nice homemade soup, the bonus was the daily special was beef & vegetable soup. It was a fantastic choice, that is until mums order came out, waffles with caramel sauce & ice cream, I mean really, thanks mum.
So we wandered into a few stores, including a cheap bookstore. I am determine to locate some japanese sewing books, the ones with clothing patterns. I have seen them on other blogs and really want to try them out. But no luck.
On the way home, I stopped into Blue Mountains Interior, in blackheath, where I splurged on 2 litres of chalk emulsion. I am going to try to transform my kitchen dresser and a table with the paint. They will then be located into my slowing evolving craft room, I can't wait, I bought myself an early christmas present of a brother qc2000 sewing machine, but I won't let myself use it until I finish setting my craft room & it's dedicated space. It is just taking soooo long, especially when I can only have short bursts of activity or risk a major migraine from the ever changing oxygen levels.
Home now, exhausted, my generous hubby made dinner, girl 1 & 2 are bathed & in bed, & I'm honestly trying to convince myself that it's not too early to go to bed.... The debate will continue....
Talk soon
