Welcome to the Link-Up for BOMs Away Mondays!
We'd love to see the BOM you're working on lately.
This week's link-up is at the bottom of the post.
Oh! I'm sorry I didn't get this posted last night, everybody. I've been really distracted the last few days - I found out I have cancer, and we're in the middle of diagnostics to find out to what extent and try to identify the specific type. It seems I have to be unique (or rebellious, take your pick!) even in this - not only did I get a non-Hodgkins lymphoma in the skin, but it's one they've never seen. The pathology lab in Washington, D.C. even thanked the regional lab from out here for sending such an interesting specimen and expressed gratitude for sharing future findings. . . ::sigh:: Hopefully, it's in the family of lymphomas that responds super well to treatment! I have a bilateral bone marrow biopsy on Thursday, and then a full-body PET scan on Monday when whatever they put in me Thursday has had a chance to get cleared out Make that: Tomorrow is my scan, now, because Tricare got blasted by 5 different doctors, 3 nurses, a hospital admin, and 3 different offices' desk jockeys for dragging their feet on authorizing my care. (Military people may be able to relate to the insanity of getting things authorized sometimes!)
There's a gentleman at our Taekwondo dojang who's just finished treatment for throat cancer (successfully, as it shows so far!!), and he's my new personal mentor. I find that the Taekwondo community is every bit as sharing and supportive as quilters and church congregations can be, so I'm very fortunate in both the social and physical benefits of having started that activity almost a year ago! Thank goodness for the extra level of baseline health from which to kick cancer out!

Back to BOMs Away :)
Being First Sunday, yesterday I pulled out Kelly's "Strolling the Block."
I got all the orange peel work put in for one row's sashing and quilted one of the blocks before I got a call from Katie to see if I could come pick up the Taekwondo trailer from a city event so she and the men that had been working could go to Superbowl parties. LOL!!! I didn't mind, as they knew I wouldn't. I don't do football, and my clueless gaping outside of class when they talk of such things was a no-brainer. ;D

Did you enjoy Superbowl Sunday? And have you worked on any of your BOMs lately?
