I started a quilt over 10 years ago during the last project that was this stressful. That project was named Everest. I saw the quilt pattern and knew it would be named "Dreaming of Green." This current project made me crazy enough to finish it. I turned it over to the lady who will quilt it. Here are some pictures of it. It doesn't lay very flat on the wall, but I'm hoping it will quilt out well.
I didn't do a very good job of tracking food, it was hard as we didn't have an internet connection to look up things. I did pretty good with my eating and didn't snack much.
The one bad part of the weekend was due of course to work. In one building there was an on/off again internet service and I looked at my phone. BIG mistake. There were several pages/texts from work with an "emergency." Of course I responded to 2 emails, which led to 20 more. Everyone wanted me to dial into a call, but there was no cell service. I refused to leave and find service unless they reimbursed me for the weekend. I was so frustrated as they were threatening to go to VPs on me since I wasn't cooperating. Not that I dealt with this exact issue twice during the week with two other teams.......
Anyway, that did lead to 3 chocolate chip cookies. Nothing like homemade chocolate chip cookies.
I'm very glad that it's over. As I spend most of the time stressed about work after the calls. It was always in the back of my head.
One of the gotcha moments of the weekend was when I was in the bathroom and saw my legs. They are more flabby that I thought. I think I'm going to be a bit more self conscious swimming now. Funny what new/different mirrors will show you.
I'm very glad that tomorrow is Monday and a fresh start for eating, logging, and back to swimming!
Did you have a good weekend? What do you do when work throws you for a loop?
Have a good week!
