Well I Was Going Too

 Well I was going to show you the picture below and say this was the highlight of my day and I did not cry.  They were delighted to receive the box of arts and craft supplies, snacks and other goodies. Yes the art supplies included yarn.  



I was going to tell you about the lovely lunch we had downtown at Cup Cafe in the Hotel Congress named after the street it is on. For crime buffs this is where John Dillinger and his gang were arrested. The hallway to the bathrooms is lined with everything you need to know about this piece of Tucson history. 

Speaking of the hallway to the restrooms. There is a high step that you really need to look out for.  I tripped on that very step today and did a knee plant. Nothing is broken one toe looks wonky but I can bend it so it is not broken.  I have a few bumps. I expect to be a little more sore tomorrow. This is also the day I became an old geezer. I was suddenly surrounded by people checking on me.  I took a minute to pull my self together and let other people help me up.  Thank goodness I was wearing an ankle length dress so nothing showed. After getting up I headed to my original destination.  A young girl was very concerned about me and opened all the doors for me.  Sadly I don’t know her name , but to her mom and dad you are doing a wonderful job. She also walked me down the hall to make sure that I did not fall again.

I then found John in the Cup Cafe outdoor dining area. Told him about my adventure. We ordered lunch. It was very good. Then a stroll around downtown. Then a little sightseeing. Yes, Downtown has changed that much.  We did make the mistake of trying to take Broadway out of downtown, that turns into a parking lot because of the Broadway repaying project. It really looks like they are doing a sub par job at best.  I wonder what has happened to the work ethic of days gone by.  Yup even talking like an old geezer.

One Blanket Down

 I finally finished knitting one blanket. It will get washed and blocked tomorrow.  I am a third of the way through the next blanket in the basket. I have 2 inches to finish knitting on the first strip. Then I will start the next strip. This is the first of two blankets with 3 different size 8 inch blocks.  Yes, I have another one of those too. We as knitters either have to standardize what an 8 inch block actually is or all use the same rulers. My take on an 8 inch block is 8 inches wide by 8 inches in length. On the next 2 blankets I have six different sized  8 inch blocks.  So I will be knitting a lot of strips. Sewing them together.  Then adding Crocheted boarders.  

I also started spring cleaning today.  I started in the kitchen.  I cleaned for 1 1/2 hours and napped for 3 hours.  I am sincerely hoping that this is still the surgery recovery process. If it’s not I might have to admit that I am not 30 anymore.  

I need to get a good nights sleep.  Tomorrow we will be hunting down tree killing mistletoe and removing it.  Since we have a dumpster bag we will also get some junk out of the garage. The word of the day tomorrow is Zenning.

Not 30

I am not 30 anymore.  I can feel it after 4 very bad nights with Eric. Besides being tired my hands feel numb and my skin hurts.  It has some very big downsides not being 30. So tonight I hope Eric sleeps.  Goodnight all.
