Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

A few new things
- It's raining again. And holding the temperature in the 60s, so there's an upside. All the rain we've seen during the last few weeks has made me contemplate buying a pair or galoshes. Last year's snow created similar urges for high-quality boots, which I still haven't purchased.
- I feel like I'm getting back into the swing of things, craft-wise. After two great classes at Ink About It with Dave Brethauer and a little shopping, I came home to participate in a Virtual Meeting of the A Muse Addicts (VMAA). I wanted to use my newly learned watercolor techniques on every challenge, but limited myself to *most* of the challenges. I have a few card ideas bouncing around in my head that I should try to transform into actual cards tonight. And I can't wait to break into the new goodies I brought home, including some new Memory Box stamps.
- Not only am I back into the swing of things, but I'm lucky too. They drew two names in each class to win a pack of Memory Box paper and I was lucky enough to get picked. I scored a pack of summery, 6x6 papers perfect for card-making. The I got a call yesterday from Lori that I won the larger Memory Box drawing to celebrate the latest release. I'm dying to know what I won, but I don't think I'll be able to make it to the store until at least tomorrow evening. Since Jon will be at the Pats pre-season game, I think I can justify the trip.
- In less lucky news, the bloodwork I had done last week came back with lower than normal TSH levels, which means my thyroid is back to it's overactive ways. I need to have more blood drawn before next week's appointment with my endocrinologist. Sadly, I'm going to have to ask him for references for other endocrinologists because he doesn't accept the new health insurance I'm switching to next month. Which really just means I'll have to go through my history and paperwork with yet another doctor and hope that we don't waste too much time in the process.
