Have you ever had one of those days,where nothing goes right? Well, today is my day.I couldn't locate a free standing lace angel, for a friend, she asked me to make.Then finally found it and my thread kept breaking,then my needle broke,then I got the skirt stitched and was ready for the rest and I noticed on one side edge, the threads didn't even connect! It is going in the trash. First,it was asked for a funeral, and the last thing I did for a funeral, was a smocked dress for my grand-daughter.I am not up to doing this emotionally, and second, I .....This afternoon,I have an appointment with a cardiologist, that I have never seen, and don't want to go.When I needed one and was having trouble, had to go to ER.After I came home, I made this appointment for this new cardio dr.Then after the second episode,I had to go back to the ER, because my family dr, his partner AND this cardiologist were ALL out of the office that week,so 2 trips to the ER. Now, that I feel better,I don't want to go, cause they won't find the problem. I don't need them (and more bills) now.My blood pressure is usually low but I bet it won't be today.Just had to rant so I wouldn't cry, not my usual self,sorry.-Toogie

Hang in there Toogie, we all have days like this, seems they are unavoidable at times, but if you can just get through the day, everything will be better tomorrow. Until then you have a good rant and even a cry if it helps, because sometimes we just need to get it all out.
As the song says.... Some days are diamonds, some days are stone, thankfully the diamond days out number the stone days.
Sending hugs n love, Meg

I'm so sorry Toogie, I hope you're feeling better. Some days are better than others. Please take care of your health, and number one. YOU!!
I know this is not related to your smocking project but did you know if you're fan of applique junkie on facebook they have a bunny rabbit smocking design in their free design tab? They are doing other cute smocking designs too on their website, for purchase.
Please take care, rant away, stay well!!! Hugs, sharon

I am glad you feel better, however it is important to get a diagnosis in case it should happen again or if it is a sign of another problem. Best wishes toogie and big hug.

Oh dear...........a good 'rant' always clears the air, even if it does raise your blood pressure.........gets the adrenalin pumping and proves you are still alive. Hang in there..........Ann

I think the whole day sounds like a neglected special hat day. If that is the case you must not do that again. Instead place your hat beside the bed try it on before you go to sleep and make that your first item to wear when you get up. It will put you in the right spirits and give your household a chuckle. Sending angels to watch over the rest of your day and help you get through. Who knows they might need a chuckle also. :P

Oh, Toogie....I'm sending you a big hug and a big prayer. Dennis had a brilliant idea to put your hat on, but DO go ahead and wear it to the doctors office ~ with a straight face. At least they will be able to diagnose that you are fun.

Don't worry it will also pass and things will be better again. Thinking of you and hope you feel better now. It usually does after getting it off your chest. Only South Africans will understand this part but here it is. I had to go to the Department of Home Affairs this morning as I checked my marital status before going to get the new identity card we all have to get now. They made a mistake with mine and did not change it when my husband passed away in 2003 so on their records I am still married. I traveled 32km in peak traffic to get there only to find out that their computers are off line and they cannot help the public. So I visited some friends and went shopping! That made me feel better. Have a nice day and a big hug for you.

Why are you all 'having' to get new identity cards?

Hi Toogie. I was so sorry to read of your troubles today and hope that you feel much brighter by the time you get to read this. I think that it is true to say that we all have days like this at some point or another, although not with the added emotions that you are having to deal with. I am sure that your friend will understand perfectly the need for you to put aside her lace angel for the time being.
I do understand your concerns regarding your appointment today but please do go. This is something that you just cannot let slide by. I know from personal experience that sometimes you just have to start thumping the consultants desk and be very insistant for answers regarding your health.
I know that all your friends here will understand your feelings at this time and will be happy to listen in the knowledge that it may go some way to brighten your days.
Of all else fails............................stand in front of the mirror and put your special hat on. Take care.

Good Luck for later today. Sometimes the thought of something is far worse than when it happens. I relate to the first part of your comments as I put a frame down this morning and the wasn't able to find it when I wanted to put it into the machine...
