Still fighting the flu

I don't think I am ever going to get better!! Of course, I don't really think that, but it sure feels like a never ending slog here with the sore throat, congestion and productive cough. Sleep is fleeting and fatigue has taken hold. I'm really sick!! Lots of fluids, plenty of rest and chicken soup have been the norm, and the few hours of 'normalcy' are thanks to DayQuil, Theraflu and Robitussin. If I don't turn the corner to health soon, I will have to go see the doctor. As a nurse, I know there really isn't anything she can do for me since flu is a virus, but if I have a bacterial infection on top of it, I want to fight that! We'll see.
Meanwhile, I did another row of background fill on the Hawaiian quilt yesterday while the computerized APQS chugged along on a king sized batik quilt. I did finish that one, but haven't taken it off yet. I'll do that as soon as I get to the studio.

I'll do the last row today, and then, I'll just have the borders and motifs themselves to quilt over the weekend. Yippee!

Millie chugging along on the last row of this huge quilt. Wait until you see it!
It was 107 x 107, yet perfectly flat and square!! I am so in awe of this quilter's mad skills. Wow.
Mr Wazoo spent his day quilting the smaller parts of the ensemble from this quilter. He did the valances and loaded the pillow shams. The whole shebang will be a stunning addition to any bedroom.

Pillow shams ready for quilting

Thanks to Miss Molly, I am able to keep going. She is my constant companion, coming to the studio when I do, and laying down with me when I nap. She is sure a faithful little thing. 

"What's next, Mom?"

"Another nap!! Okay..."
We're supposed to have a cold snap here later today, with the possibility of either freezing rain or snow. Time to replenish the chicken soup!! Have a good day, readers, and stay warm!
