Still Here

It has been a bit crazy around here lately. If you have not been to the house in a while you will not recognize the interior of the house. The house no longer looks like a fiber artist has taken over the house completely. I am beginning to adjust to that, now I just have to remember where I put everything and I will be fine. I still find it a bit disconcerting to have to go to the garage to pull out stash yarn and fiber to work with. I know once my stash is a manageable size, it will all be in the house. Now don't you all hold your breath. It might take another year or 2 to get to that point.

Eric shared his cold with me and I spent all of yesterday sleeping while John was in charge of Eric. Except for a little post viral asthma for Eric all seems to be better today. I am also feeling better but still on the tired side.

Eric even let me spin in his room today. I finished 2 spinning projects today and both are off the spindles. I am still on a hat streak and knitting 3 to 4 hats a week. I will either get tired of knitting them or the scrap basket will get to low to make really awesome hats and I will have to move on to other things.

Well I think I will call it quits for tonight and tuck Eric in.

Dental Work

I have had more dental work done this week. I am dealing with the soreness by taking naps when I get to sore or tired.  I still am managing to get some cleaning and organazing done.

I am still In my hat phase and started on today.  I even got some spinning done while waiting for our slow stream of trick or treaters tonight. Well it seems like it has been a very long day, so I am calling it an early night and hope that Eric sleeps through the night tonight.

Not Really a Day Off

Today was my version of a day off   I did the laundry, errands, a dental appointment,paperwork, cleaning, knitting, a car wash and gas agter i picked eric up from day program   I also think I came up with a safe way to deal with road rage and tail haters. I simply let them pass and slow down as needed. Wave them in front of me and resume my trip with our tension.

Well it is going to be very busy again tomorrow so it's time to call it a night.  Those in Sandy's path please be safe and find some high ground.

Busy but Slow

This weekend seemed very busy. Yet at the same time went very slowly. Most of my chores got done. I still have a few carry overs until Monday. I have been averaging a finished knitted object every other day.  Now to just make the time to weave in the ends.

I have come to the sad conclusion that my kids are just not that into sports. After a Special Olympics event for Eric on Saturday, I had to promise him that there would be no more sporting competitions in his future in order to get him to go to sleep.

I am waiting to see when he goes to sleep so I can too. I hope you have a fun and busy week ahead.

Hats

I seem to be stuck on hats lately.  In the last 2 weeks I have finished 6 and put another one one The  needles today. I also took the unusual step of adding more yarn to the hat basket. Normally I get it as empty as possible and then tuck it in a corner waiting for odds and ends to be added.  This might just be the month of the hat.  So of you have been promised hand knits for charity events it will proably involve hats this year.

On the house cleaning side of things the pantry is 95% finished.  It was like an archeological dig. With 10-05 being the oldest date. How this item slipped through so many times I do not know. John was very gracious in bring the barrel out to The curb for trash night. Did I mention he also brought home dinner and did one of my errands for me too?

Well it has been a long day with a trip to the dentist thrown in for fun. I am very tired so I will keep this blog very short tonight.

Hump Day, Better Know as Wednesday

Today I got a lot of things done around the house.  I managed to rearrange 2 shelfs of the pantry. Clear a large chunk of the kitchen counter. I also took Eric grocery shopping with me after his day program.  We do make a very long train in the store.

I made it to the Arthritis expo at the JCC this morning and heard some great talks. Won a cool green t-shirt for Eric.  I also managed to knit 3/4 of a hat while I was there too.

On the long term todo list I found a grown up doctor for Eric.  Well I have a busy day lined up for tomorrow. So good night all.

More Cleaning

I spent the entire day cleaning. Good progress was made. The only thing I could not find was the pattern to my June yarn club called Baldersquash.

Well since I fell asleep during the debate, I think it's  time to call it a night.
