Storm

If you follow the news in Western Washington you know that we got walloped by a wind storm yesterday with 40-45 mph winds and gusts up to 60 mph.

Well, the road to my house looks like a massive evergreen debris field.

As with any storm that involves wind, flooding, and downed trees and branches, we also lost power about 6:40 p.m. last night and it's currently still out at my house.

Thank goodness for candles and headlamps.

The power went out halfway thru the last two rows off this mitten so the light went on and I got it done.

 Otherwise I wouldn't be able to share these awesome photos with you this morning.

Oh, and thinking I pulled it all off and had my sh!t together this morning, I showered in the dark, did my hair in the dark, got dressed in the dark....

I was so close

Till I got in the elevator and realized that I had put my sweater on inside out...

Well I tried.

Thank goodness I didn't attempt my make up in the dark... 

Happy Wednesday

Mr. Brown

these two had no trouble going to sleep at 7:00 last night. Nope. They curled right up and checked out.

That was some storm! Somehow we did not lose power....at home or work! I was hoping my work would, so we could go home early. I hope yours gets restored soon. Kudos to you for being able to knit in the near dark! Your babies look blissfully happy and I think our little girl puppy would have been happy too.

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...
