Oh Friday...

All week I have been dealing with what appears to be the laziest cold ever. One day I have a sore throat, another day its a dry cough, yesterday evening it was a little stuffy in my sinuses, this morning, well we've kissed my voice goodbye.

I'm used to more of a cold that body slams me with everything at once and takes me down for a day then I'm on the mend the following days.

With all these changing symptoms day to day I'm like a squirrel at a rave trying to figure out which medicine to take for which ailment.

So far it's tylenol for pain, delsym for the cough days, and chewing gum for sore throats. Honestly you know I'm in bad shape if you see me pop a halls cough drop I hate them, I hate everything about them ever since I bought a variety that numbs your throat as you suck on them, I was drooling all over the place, my whole mouth was numb. Peppermint chewing gum is my throat soother and if I'm a bit nauseous the peppermint helps with that as well... just keep my supply well stacked. Before bed it's sliced ginger steeped in hot water and my bucky wrapped microwaved for 8 minutes and doused with eucalyptus oil and lavender laying on my chest. Then airborne all day every day at work.

Needless to say, I haven't knit a stitch all week. I get home, I eat my spicy ramen, and crawl into bed.

Next week we will have a little more structure on the blog as I get back into the swing of it...

I'm not going to lay it out yet but we'll see how it goes week to week. I have a planner and a calendar to use... Friday will be reserved for photos. Hopefully my favorites of the week.

Seeing how I have been a slow train on flu virus express I haven't taken any photos this week so I'll give you this, a picture of me and Mr. Brown last summer. I miss him every day and this picture makes me happy when I see it on my phone.


I'm off to Florida next week for a quick visit with mom to celebrate her birthday! I'm looking forward to soaking up some sun and mom time for a few days.

Have a good weekend

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
