April 2021 OMG Completion

My OMG goal for April was simple. Stitch almost every day for at least 15 minutes. Very specific, if a bit vague. And I have been stitching at least 15 minutes some days and 3-4 hours most Saturdays when I meet with friends and sisters online. These are the 50th Anniversary Quilt aka Ella blocks I completed this month. Most of them were started already but now they are finished. The final 5 block patterns will be released next month. I wonder what BOM Gay might come up with for her next QAL. She has two on the go right now that are all pieced blocks. I chose to not join those. 

In the meantime, I have been madly working on completing courses for my doctorate. I submitted Blame it on the Brain early in the month. It was a course on learning disabilities in children. I learned far more about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) than I could ever have imagined. I had decided years ago that I had that and it explained why I do things the way I do and don't do things the way I do. Now I am working on completing Christian Counseling I & II. This is mostly a review of counseling and psychology courses I did years ago. Reviews are good. Only 2 more to go. My goal is to have all coursework completed and submitted by June 1st. I can do this, but I have had to drop other activities like blogging, sewing, and housework.  And I realized that I had not replied to the many comments last post. Thank you all who made comments and encouraged me in my endeavors. 

I have had no less than 39 lectures to listen to and outline for the last three courses. Only 30 more to go. All the Action Exercises in one textbook. Two multiple-choice tests and 3 book reports and 4 more summaries. 

We are back in lock-down and the girls are again doing online schooling. Their schedules have been changed to a week here and a week at Mom's. This means that we oversee and hover for a mere 6 hours each day for a whole week then have no children here for a whole week. They probably will not return to in-person school until Sept. 

And in view of the tighter lock-down regulations, we have decided to postpone our 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration in Aug until next year. It was my Sweetie's suggestion. We had our first Moderna jab last week with the second scheduled for late July. 

Blessings,

Chris
