The Blog...

I just realized it's been since February 13th since I've posted.
Crazy.
I know I've been busy.
I also know that I have felt like I don't have much to say, or maybe I'm saying it somewhere else and by the time I get here I'm at a loss.

Well, lets see where this takes me...

I just spent a glorious week with my younger brothers family.
Family I see maybe once or twice a year. So it really sucks when the visits are over.
They left today and it makes me sad to say goodbye.
I loved every minute I had with Bump and Baby G.
We all met up in Florida at mom's winter house and had a blast.
We spent the day at the beach
We played in mom's pool
We went to the zoo and fed the giraffes.
Covered a lot of territory in 3 days.
D and I fly home tomorrow.

Mom caught a bit of a virus so she's laying low,
D is driving my stepfather to pick something up so I sit here alone.
Sad that my nephews are on their way home and not riding up and down granny's elevator with me,
it's possible that i've poured myself a large & fabulous glass of white wine from mom's wine fridge... Day drinking is what makes vacations feel real. :)

I have a lot of knits to catch you up on and I think I'll do that tomorrow between here and Seattle... We have a lengthy layover in Houston so I know I'll have some time...

I"m going to go pour myself some more wine and soak up some sun before heading back to reality...

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

The countdown...

The Elbow has taken things a little to far. After three cortisone shots, icing, and squeezing exercises, it's just not behaving... Tuesday I went into the MRI tube do the Doc H. Could get a good look at what's going on...wear and tear is what's going on and it's only getting worse.. I can keep getting shots of cortisone but eventually they'll stop being as effective. Surgery will be the best option. That's right. SURGERY Wanna know the worst part? Recovery can take up to five months Five Months 5 FIVE months of no knitting... . . . I'll give you a second to get up off the floor... . . . You read that again didn't you? . . . my friend MzKimba has graciously offered to take care of my stash. However I think I'll just pack it all up and store it somewhere safe till I get the all clear from Doc H. Now all this being said, I have projects that need to be completed, so I'm going to try and schedule the surgery for som
