Oh ... I have paid for and reserved a week at a quilt retreat on the Oregon coastline the last week of April/first days of May with a dear friend who moved to Oregon a year ago. She called today. She is having terrifying health problems and probably can't make it to the retreat. The fee is non-refundable. The room is a double and I really can't afford to pick up her part, and I don't want to go alone. The whole point was to spend time with a good friend and sew, sew, sew. My sewing buddies here are either already planning travel or ... I know how awful this sounds, but I don't think I could spend a week in close quarters with most of them. (does this make me a bad person?)
I just found out and I'm sort of reeling.
