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...

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.

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...
