Day 9: Three Pet Peeves

Now that I have to list them of course I can't think of any.

I do have them though.

In spades.

So let's do this fast like ripping off a band-aid.

1. People who can't merge on to the freeway.

Please. Use the whole on ramp, get up to speed and merge. Don't slow up as soon as the solid white line ends and try to find an opening. They give you the whole on ramp for a reason. Please use it. Please.

2. Knots in the middle of my skeins of yarn. I had one so bad once I just gave up and threw it out.

3. Christmas decorations that get put out/up/on display before Thanksgiving. I about lost my mind on Halloween when half the Halloween aisle was being transformed to the 'Christmas' aisle. Life moves fast enough without your help retailers.

Bonus:
4. Vanity plates that I can't figure out. If it's so complicated that no one can figure out WTF you're bragging about, you're just wasting your money. To the car with the vanity plate 'krempuf' I would have kept that between me and my partner, not slapped on the bumper of my caddy...

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
