Tension Goes and Tension Comes

I’m doing somewhat better in the spasm department. Still sore and I don’t have full range of motion in my neck – but it’s better for sure. Before I aggravate it again I’m going to take another Soma and head to bed…

I actually talked to a friend on the phone for a couple of hours today and did a lot of venting and it was almost like I could feel it lifting away… was amazing. Just too much stress lately I guess. I've been giving others too much power over my actions and letting them rule my thoughts with their poison. It's good to vent the toxic stuff out.

I did a good thing today... but in a bad way. It's like one of those I Love Lucy episodes where Lucy tells Ricky "I saved $300 today!" because she found a good sale - but the reality is she shouldn't have spent the money at all... Well I got a hot tip on a sale going on at Pottery Barn online from two different groups. It was just too good to pass up - and even though I still don't know where I'll hang it, I bought a 30 x 40 inch slat wall shelving system and four shelves all for about $50. I wish I could do my whole scrapbook room in it - but alas, that would be a lot of splainin' to do...

I’ll be working on my rolodex swap cards more tomorrow, I hope. I’m kinda stuck until I get my sewing machine tension just right… the tension on the sewing machine has always been my bane... why can't it just stay the SAME all the time??? I only found out last summer that there was actually a bobbin tension adjustment too... Now I've got THAT to worry about as well! Used to be - if the tension got messed up I'd just have to buy another machine. Well I spent a little more for this one - a hundred bucks - which for a Singer isn't much at all really - but when you consider that I ONLY use it for scrapbooking, it's an expensive tool... (not as much as a WishBlade though :0)

I got the book out… looked at the pictures and read the directions in three different languages - but I still can't get it to adjust right. I'm afraid it may be a lost cause though - I don't see the little cymbal looking things moving at all... Methinks a four-year-old may have adjusted it for me... and now I need to call in the pros... I'll keep you posted.
