Rain Rain Rain......

Every time I watch a movie that is based on the Northwest all I see thru the whole movie is buckets and buckets of rain falling and I think to myself...'whatever, it's not like that here'. Most of the time I'm right in that proclimation, except this week apparently. Storm blew in Monday night, and I mean BLEW in and it hasn't stopped raining buckets and buckets since. I was hanging out on the floating house yesterday afternoon with Mom and G trying to figure out a way to just spend the night instead of getting on the road and suffering another white knuckle drive...however, I didn't pack a change of clothes with me so home I went. The upside today is that the wind has stopped. Still pouring buckets and I have nothing but errands to run today.

I'm complaining a lot.
I'll stop that immediately.
The good stuff today?
1. I get to run my errands with my mom and we're going to lunch at a new diner I've been wanting to try...
2. I don't have to work today
3. I get to spend the morning with the dogs by the fire knitting a little bit before I head down to Seattle.
4. Thanksgiving is tomorrow and for that I'm excited.

I was going to snap a picture of the rain but miraculously it has settled back to a typical drizzle....

Now... back to my knitting!

Happy Wednesday
Stay warm
stay dry
Keep Joy in your heart for all you do today!!

p.s.
while I was hanging out at the Floating House (for those who are not familiar they are houses on the water...and their rental is right across lake union from the house used in Sleepless in Seattle) I felt the house move, I mean I knew it was moving because the hanging pots and pans and the hanging light over the table move slightly but this was a full shift and I gotta tell ya, very unsettling and cool at the same time....Can't wait for tomorrow!

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
