Dental Work Today

I am down for the count this weekend. I had dental work that went well today.  However, I am sore and cranky.  I am also on a soft diet until the stitches come out.  I am hoping to feel well enough tomorrow to get a loaf  or 2 of challah from Beyond Bread tomorrow.

I have to rest for the next few days, so no housework or bending over.  I am all ready bored. And it’s only been 5 hours.

Right now I am too out of it to do anything with fiber.  This does not sound like me at all.  So it’s either TV or books on tape.  Remember, “This to shall pass.”  

Three Port Keys Opened Today

Ok, my title of this blog does not make much sense to those who don’t play Harry Potter Wizards Unite by Niantic. She who will not be named got me hooked on the game with the very basic information. None of my local friends play, so that left a lot for me to figure out. I had a lot of fun along the way.  I must say that I really like the game.  I even played at home when I was sick by finding lost items.  Although I have to leave the house to find green houses, inns and fortresses.

You have to walk between 2 km and 10 km per port key.  I was almost finished with the 1st port key last night and walked 5 km to get the next 2.  There is a daily bonus for walking .25 km. So if you want to have fun while walking, please join me in playing this delightful game.  For those of you who are curious, I am on level 21.

A big thank you goes out to the programmers, lawyers, W.B. Games, and of course J.K. Rowling’s for making this possible.

Contest Winner

The contest winner is Faith K.  Not only did John draw Faith’s name but he added more yarn to the box, he also found a bigger box so I could send Faith more yarn.  He also said to send more stitch markers in a nice bag. Plus there is a pattern of Faiths choice from my Raverly Store. So I will email Faith to get the shipping information.

Hopeful

I am hopeful that I have beat this cold.  I have my fingers crossed that the fever has finally broken.

I spent another day sleeping and not doing much. I managed to finish 2 UFO’s, this means that  hats 6 and 7 for the year are finished and hat number 8 was cast on.  If I am feeling better tomorrow I will cast on some fingerless mittens for me.  I was also able to consolidate  yarn from 2 project bags devoted to hats into 1 project bag.  Small step progress.

Right now it is time to try for more sleep.

Still Sick

I am still battling the head cold when the  arthritis decided to make things interesting by flaring up late last night.  So I walked 3/4’s of a mile while waiting for the aspirin to kick in.  In between naps today I cleaned out most of the pantry and dumped the expired food. I did not do much cooking in Eric’s last months.  It seems that food expiration dates are getting shorter. Either that or we did way too much take out during that time frame.

I spent a lot of the day napping and did not make my step goal again. Sigh. I did more sleeping than knitting too.  I hope I sleep well tonight and feel better tomorrow.

Home Sick

I have a head cold. So I spent the day sleeping,doing laundry and knitting in no particular order. I missed my step goal by 1,500 steps.  That ok.  There is always tomorrow.

My First Random Project

This is my first random project.  The pattern Preposterous by Natalie Selles, which is available on Raverly.  The yarn is a special club edition of MCS Sock called “For the last time Charlie Brown, will you please water “that poor tree”” from Indigodragonfly in Canada.. since this kit is from 2011,  I have a hunch that the yarn is no longer available.  I do love the yarn from Indigodragonfly, it is wonderful.  So do check out Kim’s lovely yarns. Kim’s clubs are awesome too. The Indigodragonfly shop.
