Day Off: I do not think this word means what you think it means...

Day off's in the middle of the week are not like a weekend. It's not even really luxurious unless it's a Monday or Friday.
I slept till 8:30 after a 6:00 a.m. phone call from mom.
That was pretty sweet.
but now...
I have a slew of stuff to do that can only be done during the week because of business hours.

All I want to do is lunch with my dad, knit Beans sweater, and make a ridiculous amount of pompoms

Oh and maybe find the pattern for my Shaken or Stirred Sweater for the KAL I'm running. It had all my increase notes on it and I'm not sure where it's landed in the yarn pile...


In the mean time, mom is getting ready to head back to the Minneapolis Burbs for the summer and I'm dreaming of our planned visit at the end of summer... but first mom and I are meeting up in San Francisco in 3 weeks and I can't wait!

peace out.
I should probably shower for the day but it's in protest.

Ha! Hope you find that pattern--Oh, and can I crash your party at that lake house? That looks sublime.
I have Fridays off and am sorry you had to settle for a Thursday...I think mentally it would not feel like a day off to me.

that pictured is just the boat house, the actually house is up on the hill. You can see part of it's roofline in the photo. It's a beautiful place in Minnesota. I can't wait to get home for a week.

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
