Nerves...

The Susan G. Komen 3-Day is only two days away.
Two days I'll be picking up my teammates at 4:30 a.m. and heading to the start line.
6:30 a.m. we'll begin our walk thru downtown Seattle and make our way to the eastside.

I'm getting nervous.
I'm excited also.
I'm excited to spend the weekend with my friends.
Big crowd gatherings make me nervous.
The chaos of them make me nervous.
Once we are on our way I'll be fine.
I'll settle down and have fun, but right now my nerves are making me nauseous.

Day One is the longest day of walking.
Day Two is long but not as long as Day One.
Day Three is the shortest.

I'm getting my gear together.
Hoping I don't forget something important.
Hoping I pack some fun stuff as well.

I found my rain ponchos from the last time I did the walk.
I didn't need them then, I will need them this time. It's supposed to rain all weekend long.

My camera is charged.
My blister kit is packed (this is very important as no matter how tough my feet are and trust me they are tough, I am prone to blistering)

I'm rambling.
I'm thinking about packing some knitting for in camp. But what does one pack to knit for a walk?
Something pink of course.
Something mindless because I'll be mentally exhausted.
I'll have to dig thru the stash and find something... I have some hot pink yarn. I can whip up a cowl maybe.
Who am I kidding, I won't be knitting. Once I settle in the tent I'll pass out.

nerves.
They make me ramble!

Two Days till the 3-Day!
OMG
Happy Wednesday

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
