Favorite Photo(s) this week...

After returning from Pacific Grove Saturday the 13th (I want to return immediately)
I feel as though my week has rocket launched.

We boated all day Sunday.

Had a wee bit of dog drama Monday that carried into Tuesday and has gotten much better... Think Quentin Terentino and a bloody dog toenail and why I'll be scrubbing rugs this weekend.

side note: Senior dogs are not for the faint of heart. They test the hearts strength and resiliance every single day.

Wednesday was a birthday party with friends followed by most of them going kart racing

Thursday was Happy Hour with D's cousin (super fun) excellent food, wine, and company.

Today is Friday and honestly I can't wait to get home and slap my pajama-pants on and just veg the f out.

So here are a few shots from my last day on the Monterey Penninsula followed by a few of day of boating...

Seeing this furry little guy excited me more than I can explain. You should've have heard him rip the muscle off the pier and then crunch it...


Mt. Rainier hiding back there...

Special doggles for cold laser therapy on Gabby

remember that dog drama I mentioned above... I had to break out the first aid kit.

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...

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?

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

CarmelKnits, etc.
