One Rainy Saturday...........

That's what it was this past Saturday........rain rain rain and more rain.......but that didn't stop the car races. It shortened them but it didn't stop them. I of course woke up with a throat on fire and sniffly and sneezy....Not a good start to opening day for the Mini-Stock's and certainly not a good start for the Nissan's return to Evergreen Speedway for the whole season......I brought stuff to knit, I brought drugs for the cold, food for the drivers, and D even dug out the propane heater that we've had forever, sadly my cold won and I had to leave before D was on the track......Here is what I know, I did see him take second in his heat race, and after the recap he gave me yesterday morning I know he finished third! I'll pay better attention next race since a. I won't be sick, and b. will most likely be on the radios so I'll for sure see the race.

this is the view I had pretty much all of yesterday, laying in bed, watching movies, and letting Quintus break the rules to snuggle with me.........Oh and I made a delicious beef stew for dinner but it was in the crock-pot so it was like zero work.....
Happy Monday
Also, I want to send out congratulations to my childhood friend Deena and her family on the birth of Mr. Oliver, he arrived yesterday and I have to agree with Deena's post, he is perfect!! Welcome Mr. Oliver to your beautiful family!

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
