Four Purple Blocks this Week for July's RSC Challenge

It's purple month at RSC and these are the first four of my purple blocks.  

I don't have many purples and the ones I do have seem pretty boring to me.  Maybe it's because I'm not a big fan of purple that I have the ones I do.  I have three more blocks ready to sew which I hope I can finish this coming week.  They are of different fabrics than these, ones I found when I dug a little deeper.  (I'm already looking forward to whatever the next color will be!).  For anyone who is curious about these blocks, I'm hoping to make a quilt similar to this one.

I'm wondering what I did this week, since I haven't done much sewing and I haven't posted for a few weeks (except the quote a few days ago).  Not much, actually.  A little cutting and pinning of fabric, and a lot of sleeping/trying to sleep/trying to wake up/napping.  I'm giving up on the most recent medication the doctor prescribed to try to get rid of this New Daily Persistent Headache.  It persists through the drug and makes me so sleepy that I'm awake for about eight hours a day.  Enough is enough of this medication.

My husband fell twice last week, once at the doctor's office and then at home.  He's a big guy.  He fell in the kitchen and asked me to help him up.  I suggested we call the squad but he didn't want to.  He told me to let him get into a good position and then he said, "Now lift me up."  And I thought, Well, I'm strong, I can do this, and I'll just lift with my knees bent.  We tried three times and he couldn't get up.  I called the squad and they lifted him in a minute.  His blood sugar was much too high and he's been losing ground for the past few months.  So I've been doing the things he used to do, plus taking care of him and his needs, and not keep up very well with the things I would generally be doing..

Life's a little slow right now.  It'll change again in coming months, I'm sure.

I hope you are healthy, happy, and doing things you love!

P.S.  I would link this post to Angela's blog, So Scrappy, but it looks like she didn't post this Saturday but you can still see plenty of purple blocks on her other July posts.
