There you have it.

I have to say that sometimes this getting old stuff is over the top annoying.

As I am sure some of will agree.

Had two laser surgeries, as I said last time, and there is still some blob of goop in my eye, 

obscuring my vision.  I go for my recheck on Wednesday.

Can't wait to hear that news.

Back to the laser lab???  Who the hell knows.

My toes are still super painful and I am limping like an old lady.

But then again, lately I feel like one.

My shoulder has been miserable and aching on and off for months.  I finally went to 

ortho, who informed me that, contrary to what I expected, I did not have arthritis in my shoulder.

Worse perhaps.  I  have small tears in my rotator cuff.  Apparently as you age, your tendons 

get weak, and that results in damage to other things.

When I explained what I do every day,  I was informed that to help it to get better, I needed to stop doing what aggravated it.

You know the rest of this story, right????

So I am amusing myself away from the loom.

One of the things that I have come up with is this.  Since I have to slow down my weaving, why not look at it from another angle.

Oh, snap.

Here is my brainstorm.

CRAZY AS A LOOM EGG TOWEL KIT

All the colors you need to make four gorgeous egg towels

16 harness loom required

For the egg draft

Getting them together now

So order early!

I have already started winding cones, and think that this might actually be fun.

I am thinking about how sometimes change can really throw you for a loop.

But other times, change allows you to step back, and see other doors, ones you may not even have thought of.

Back in 2012-13, when I had my head rearranged and my neck fused, I had to make changes. I went from a full tilt rug weaving business, to weaving fine threads, clothing, dish towels, linens, textiles for the home. I didn't know if I could do it. But I also didn't have any choice.

And here I am, all these years later, and I have loved what my weaving studio has turned into, and how it has sustained me.

So now, as I get older, and my body decides not to be the body I used to have, I have to adjust, once again.

Should I just throw in the towel, or should I stand back, and see what appears.

I think you know what I'll do.

and so do I.
