nothing much to say......

except.............
1. Gabby lost her ball under the shed, a story many of you have heard already this week but none-the-less was an event unto it's own this week. It resulted in us cancelling our oringal plans and loading Gabby into the car to go to the pet store for a brand new ball and a stop for a cheeseburger on the way home........I won't tell you about the phone call to Lillian and the embarrasment following that.
2. Quintus had a yearly check up today complete with shots and the news that he is now a Senior Dog.....He seems okay with it of course seeing as how he has been trying to climb on top of me all afternoon while I knit and surf the net.
3. My new sister-in-law, Margie, had a birthday this past week, of course I just started working on her present.......sorry :) It'll be there soon.......
4. Next week is the knitting retreat and I'm already trying to figure out what to bring and not over do it.....I think the fact that the suitcase is packed and ready to go is a good sign, the fact that I only packed yarn, books, and patterns not so good.....I'll have to do some rearranging so I can at least bring some clean underwear, and no, I'm not going to knit it...........that it would be a conversation starter is a given however once the wine gets flowing at these retreats the show-and-tell portion of the knit underwear could make some uncomfortable, especially if it's me modeling it........
On that note, in an effort to relieve you from the image of me in knit underwear please take a moment to enjoy a picture of a baby porcupine.....I know it's the most awesome thing ever.......until it pokes out your eye.

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
