I spent the rest of the day resting. I hope to kick this bug soon because I am not a sit on the couch for days type of gal. I did not even have energy to knit or do laundry today. Tomorrow will be better.
A blog about my life, my fiber arts and pictures of my finished work. I will also throw in the very occasional recipe or shopping tip.

The Flu Morphed
The flu bug morphed. I tried to get into my doctors office today, the earliest appointment was Friday. So I headed to urgent care. I also managed to lock my keys in the van. Not only that but dropped them under the seat where my hands could not reach. John came to my rescue, he not only brought the spare keys, but was able to reach under the seat to get the keys. He then went to pick up my medicine so I could go home and eat some lunch so that I could take the medicine when he got home.

Teri Time
Teri time is almost over. Teri and I had a great weekend. I will pack before bed tonight; have breakfast with Teri; and then head to the airport. I still have some knitting to do on the flights and while I wait for my planes. I will get home in time to tuck Eric into bed. It looks like the guys did great on their own. : )

Time to Tink
Sometimes when I find a projected buried at the back of the closet there is a very good reason for it.... In this case I was not fond of the pattern and could not see me wearing it. Between the price of the yarn and the time it was taking to make it would be too expensive for me to sell. It is also not a charity scarf. So while Eric is doing his breathing treatment I will frog this scarf and make something more useful. Rip-it rip-it rip-it.
Addendum: As I was tinking the project the yarn just started breaking. I gave up after the 7th break in less then 1/4 of the skein. So Now the yarn and scarf are in the dog pillow stuffing box. I am not going to waste any more time on it.

We survived
Eric and I are both feeling better. Just maybe he will go to program on Thursday. I also picked out one of my knitting projects for the weekend. Just maybe I can get a few things for me done. Well it's time to call it a night. Eric will still be home tomorrow.

My Name is Toast
I picked up the bug du jour last week, which started with a 4 day headache and then moved down. I have spent the last 2 days sleeping hoping that it will help me get over this bug. I was hoping for another solid day of sleeping tomorrow. Eric had other plans, he just started throwing up. I gently suggested to him that tomorrow would be a day of sleep and he just glared at me. Lisa suggested that he take care of himself and he shoot that dagger glare. I have decided that I will be over this by Thursday, I sure hope that my body listens to me.
If you want to join the party here tomorrow just bring Pedilyte and Lemonade. Also I declare tomorrow will be another laundry is like fine wine day. No laundry shall be folded before its time. Even though it's after 8 pm I expect to get 2 loads of laundry washed tonight.
Wish me luck for tomorrow.

Catching Up
Eric has been keeping us very busy with tummie troubles. He has missed almost a week of program. The hours have been long and the stress hit my back with vengence. I have been to stressed out to eat at times, which lead to odd meal times when I was relaxed enough to eat. Eric is feeling better and we will try a half day at program tomorrow. Lisa has been a godsend coming over to sit with Eric while I went to PT.
I am behind on all things crafty. I just cast off my new shawl pattern now I just have to do the finishing work and polish the pattern. I am wondering how Amber is doing on her test shawl. I am also behind on finishing the belt made with the new weaving sticks at Grandma's Spinning Wheel. I just started it tonight and am already 25% of the way through the project after just 1 hour. I am having fun with this project. I hope to have it done tomorrow. Now it's time to go back to weaving.
