Boring Day..guess that's good

I've come to the conclusion that what appears to be a boring day to others, is really just a peaceful day for me. I like peace. I like quiet. Today I cut out the doll pattern and the pieces for the dolls body.. Marked all the darts etc and tomorrow hopefully I will begin sewing it. Wish I didn't have a bum thumb... would make life a lot easier... but then I suppose I should give thanks that I do have a thumb. Some don't even have hands. Still even though I am thankful, i'd like my thumb to work better. At some point I won't be able to do crafty things. Don't want to think about that.

Raining today.. really raining. Thunder and lightning earlier was pretty loud. Made me remember when we lived in the little house in the alfalfa field where Susie was born on Rd 25... we had a storm one night... lightning hit the transformer outside, travelled along the wires, into the house and broke every lightbulb in the chandelier in the living room. We heard a loud pop, suddenly everything went dark and we heard the bulbs shatter. My mom yelled at us to not move. She was afraid we would get cut on all that glass. Never liked lightning much. Don't like any kind of storms. I like spring when everything seems new again.
