best laid plans.......


Are best when the dates on your tickets match the date you've apparently made up in your head....
24-june-2010
5:20 a.m. alarm goes off for the first time and snooze is hit. Repeat 3 more times
5:44 a.m. carmel gets her butt out of bed and stumbles into the shower.
6:20 a.m. carmel done with her shower wakes up mom to get in the shower
7:00 a.m. Mom: "what day is it today?"
               Carmel: "Thursday.......why?"
               Mom: "what's the date?"
               Carmel: "the 24th.....why?"
               Mom: "because our reservation at the hotel isn't until the 25th........."
and so the morning goes.....technically we are to check out of the Bastion Ste. Ann and being checking into a hotel in Paris. Except for the 24th we have no hotel in Paris. Whatever, we'll get the train and we'll find somewhere to sleep for one night in Paris.......perfect, nerve wracking but perfect.......except that it's Thursday the 24th and that is the day that the trains decide to strike in Beaune. Tomorrow no strike, today there is a train strike.....I think they just wanted an extra day off.........the adventure continues....and we are currently back in the Bastion for one more night......we already stripped the beds so we've decided we'll crash on the sofas in the garden room.......hopefully mom remembers to close the window so no lizards crawl all over us!
au revoir mon peeps! if you don't hear from us, don't worry, we're lost in Paris, waiting for Don to come find us!!
Don....please come find us...

that's one way to look at it.......it's nice having a day where we don't have to pack everything in because we've already done that. :)

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...

Life in the Time of Covid

I have officially been working from home. Staying home.  Self-Isolating.  Safe Distancing.  For three four months.  My last day at my office was March 12.  If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster.  But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June. May the odds be ever in our favor for July. Naked Gnome, Tiny Island, Unicorn tiny cat octopus. one of my favorites fried eggs. Seriously how can you not be in love with these guys Ragnar by special request of my husband who is watching Vikings Tiny Parrot.

Sumo still waiting for his opponent Parrot meet Dragon *Drago ...
