Christmas you little sneak...

Is it just me or has the Christmas Season been sneaking up on everyone? Not so much sneaking I guess but come barrelling at us like a freight train and me without the wherewithal to figure out if I should feint left, right, or just try to outrun the thing altogether.

I'm ready, but I'm not.
I'm looking forward to it, but then again I'm not.

I don't know what my astrological lunar cycle is right now but it feels wonky and completely off course...and it's driving not only myself nuts but I think D is ready to pull bits of his hair out...




It's a week before Christmas and I know this much;

1. all my gifts for my family in Minnesota have arrived
2. I'm having ham for Christmas Eve (not sure what else with it but there will be ham)
3. D and I are going to make a day of it Friday and do all our Christmas shopping for the Washington Contingent in one fell swoop.

We had our annual Christmas Bash last night and it was just that, a blast. I hope everyone had a good time. I had a good time. It's possible I sang a little Debbie Harry, I know I sang Eye of the Tiger and sadly didn't realize till it was too late that someone had used the video option on my camera to record the performance. Sad, because after my photo shoot of my friend C, her sister C and husband M, we downloaded all the files from my camera onto C's computer including the suspect video...

I'll be suspicious if C suddenly reactivates her FB account...for now I'm erasing my copy of it and hoping it hasn't gone viral from that ones computer.


This is Albert. You all know Albert, lover of all things woolly? He heard a siren in the middle of our photo shoot today and decided to help out with a howl of his own...it was pretty delightful, much like himself...

I know exactly how you feel. I'm ready, but not; most of my gifts are knitted, but one's not done yet -- and I have ends to weave in on others. At least Nathan's gifts are in the house, but still need wrapping and putting together. Gaaah! Less than a week to go.....

Life in the Time of Covid

I have officially been working from home. Staying home.  Self-Isolating.  Safe Distancing.  For three four months.  My last day at my office was March 12.  If I look back and track how this transition has gone it's roller coaster.  But if you really want an accurate accounting of how my time has been spent These pictures sum it all up Thank you Anna Hrochavec for your amazing inspiring patterns Happy End of June. May the odds be ever in our favor for July. Naked Gnome, Tiny Island, Unicorn tiny cat octopus. one of my favorites fried eggs. Seriously how can you not be in love with these guys Ragnar by special request of my husband who is watching Vikings Tiny Parrot.

Sumo still waiting for his opponent Parrot meet Dragon *Drago ...

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...
