A New Thing

I learned to spin cotton this weekend. I think my spinning will get better when my thumb and pinky heal from the surgery in 6 months or so. But you guys know that I love to push my limits as much as possible.

I also managed to sell the 3rd spinning wheel in the house and am now down to an art wheel and a regular wheel. Everyone is happy.

Life

Still on hold.

Alrhough I can highly reccomend sleeping through a dental cleaning. No drugs involved, just sheer exhaustion.

Ethics

I am wondering if it is ethical to bribe a child that was up until 4 am to take a nap at 7:30 am? My breakfast of oatmeal , tea and chocolate only made me more tired and I need a nap fairly soon. Maybe I should just turn on HBO kids for Eric and just pull his wheelchair up to the couch so that he is in reach and have a nap.

So Done With This

Apparently vacuuming up dust bunnies is very funny according to Eric. It had him laughing for 5 minutes. I honestly don't know how they build up under his bed so fast. His room was vacuumed and mopped on Saturday.  He is starting to feel better, but because of the medicine's side effects and a staffing in service he will be home until Tuesday.

I am at the point where getting out of the house would be super nice. Just some place nice and warm would be nice too. Only 6 more days to go.

Going into Week Three

Eric and I will be ushering out February and bringing in March together at home. Yes, another week at home. So if you need me, I won't be hard to find. At least I had time to get to Trader Joe's today for a few things. I am happy now that I left the cookies at the store, let's see how I feel about that mid week. Tomorrow I will try to get to Fry's to round off my shopping list. 

I will be completing knitting projects for me next week. Hopefully I can finish a few new hand knit items for me. Once those are finished I will randomly pull a new project off the shelf to finish it. I wonder how soon I can clear the shelf's in the craft room? Optimistically it will take a year or three.  It is time to go knit.

E = UW

I am so tired all I want to do is cry. Eric is still sick and started another round of another medicine. At least I can knit again for short periods of time. Some where over the rainbow there is life again.

More 3-D Printing

John’s latest 3-D printing project is designed to make my life easier. John designed and built a custom suctioning station. John the mounted it over Eric’s bed so that I could reach it. So no more running to the other side of Eric’s bed, then pulling Eric into suction machine range. Eric has already tried it out and likes it. If you think that this is cool, please let John know. Now to find some 18 ounce Hefty clear plastic cups so that I can see the water level in the rinse station.

I do expect Eric to be home for the rest of the week and maybe into next week. I do have plenty of knitting, weaving and spinning projects to complete, if I can find the time and energy. Mostly I have been trying to keep up with laundry and dishes, the operative word here is trying. Bits and pieces of house work are getting done in 2 to 3 minute spurts. Since I am not zenning the house it is OK that they are not 5 minute spurts.
