Ring Ring Ring: Calling mom's home number.......
VoiceMail: Hello you've reached Patricia........*hang up*
Me: Crap
Ring Ring Ring: Calling mom's cell which is a bit like playing roullette, I should get 100 bucks if she answers...
Cell Phone: The person you are attempting to reach is.....*hang up*
Me: Crap, well I probably said something more colorful than crap but we'll go wtih that for now....while I try the cell phone again......
Ring Ring Ring
Me: (before the phone is answered): Come on, Answer the %$&#ing Phone
Mom: Hello
Me: Hey Mom, are you at the aiport
Mom: Yeah.....
Me: did you remember your passport?
Mom: Why?
Me: so we can get into Canada?
Mom: Crap
Me (silently to myself): #$@! I have non-changeable tickets......

It's like Paris all over again............
Thankfully my brother is currently overnighting the passport and I was able to change the departure to later in the day.
So we will make it to Canada, thank goodness D is coming up on Sunday, there is no telling if we would make it back......

FYI for those of you traveling from the U.S. to Canada a U.S. Passport is required to cross the border.

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.
