Here we are again, Thursday. I am excited to go to the LYS tonight and just think of nothing.
My health update is hopeful. I will begin Synvisc injections on Monday and I have heard they are very effective. My OA has progressed to the point it can now be labeled as severe. I do not like that however, I will just have to overcome it somehow. I managed to clean some carpet today and worked on this @^$#@#**$ router for our computers a bit. I thought I had it whipped and then *POOF* it didn't happen. UGH
I finished my wrap and a diagonal potholder. I am working on a few other projects that need to be finished. I will let you know what they are as soon as I can get them out and choose the next victim...LOL!!!
OK so Gary Coleman was on Good Morning Texas today. So many things need to be said, but I agreed with Brenda that he seems to have no joy in his soul. He & his wife have been married for a few weeks and have not consummated the marriage. He has estranged himself from his family and avoids any discussion of them. His demeanor also changes when they are mentioned. He seemed a bit combative and touchy unless discussing "I can't Believe it's Not Butter". He is the new spokes person and I am not sure he is a good one for them. He also was a bit touchy about his former co-stars from his TV show. I choose to just wish him some happiness in his soul and maybe he could use some therapy.
OK enough opinion, off to get ready to see the ladies!!!
Be well and keep on creating!!!
Last night with the girls was like a fun time at Six Flags. I hurt from all the laughing and giggling I do around those ladies. I think I should gather them all up for a day out to lunch of Pocket Sandwiches.......LOL! *sorry inside joke* *wink*
I finished my wrap today!!!!!!! I sewed on the last pocket, wove in the ends, washed it, dried it and covered up with it earlier. It did not block as well as I prefer, but I usually iron on the kinks in acrylic works.
I will work it out.
I made the prototype of a cell phone pouch. I will be teaching a class on this item and also teaching the basics of crochet. If you see this, & are in the Fort Worth area....you should take my class!
I will try to share the pattern after the class. Pictures will be posted soon. (OK as soon as I find my camera!)
What else is on my mind??? The death of a Dallas Police officer. My deepest sympathies go out to his family. I lost my husband at a young age and I knowhow bad it can be. Your children will need you now but also lean on someone you trust as well. You will need support to stand strong for the kids. My heart goes out to all of the family & police officers.
Elections will be coming up soon (Mar 4th) I still have no idea who to support. I would like to say thank you to Hillary Clinton for her courage to cancel her rallies today in honor of Officer Lozada.
OK I am off to find the perfect yarn to start some mitts. I have some purple I want to use, and maybe it will work.
Be well & prosper!
OK so I am sick of the boxes already. I open one and try to find homes for my things and another box appears in it's place. I suppose I will keep on keeping on until I make it out of the mess.
Today is my Deddy's 75th birthday....HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEDDY!!! What a milestone! I am so proud of him and his life. The accomplishments of his life are endless and I hope to have half of the accolades he has achieved. Thank you for being a great Dad!
I am fast approaching the end of my wrap and cannot wait until I reveal it in all of it's glory. It is taking so long to post a new photo because I am determined to finish some items before I start anything else. OK short & to the point today because I cannot work if I am on the computer...LOL
Be well and prosper!
I am going to the sit & bitch tonight & I am overjoyed! It has been a long time since I was able to join the ladies and I miss them all so much. What am I working on? LOL I have so many things in bags and boxes I have little or no idea. I have the wrap to knit on and a square to crochet. In fact I need to make 2 so I shall be busy. Maybe I can work on those things tonight.
Pain....what a hateful thing to have on you 24/7. People who do not suffer with pain do not understand the limitations it places upon you. For 12 years (as of Feb 28th) (and yes it was a leap year that year too) I will have been suffering the worst pain known to man. From my spinal cord injury all the way to today with my knee joints degenerating as fast as I can think. 2008 will be a year for me to seriously take inventory, not only of my belongings all in boxes now but of my life and my way of life. I must lose weight. It is a burden I can no longer carry. Literally. I would have bariatric surgery and my insurance pays for it but no doctor will do it without a lot of money up front. I live on a fixed and below poverty income so how do I save up that money? OH WELL....for me to solve. I ask that you pray that I very soon can get in the swing of things and get my life cleaned up, cleared up and organized so I can move ahead. Right now, I am just not there. I may not get there soon. Tomorrow is a new opportunity to not only start over, but to start out happy. To build from the ashes of the day before. I say this because I will be hobbling in to the craft group tonight with joy and less frustration because my ladies make me feel good and make me laugh. This makes it the reason I go. I hope you have something like this in your life. I hope you can laugh in the face of adversity. Be brave and just laugh.
Blessings to you all.....Happy Thursday!
Hello folks who may stop in to read my ramblings. It has been a while since my last post due to my move. Today should be the last day of moving and I hope I speak the truth here. I am so tired of not only moving, but figuring out what things I own have a place in my life in the new house. You aquire things based on where you live. That is just the way things are in the world. when you move your old things do not necessarily fit in to the scheme or the space allowed. The latter idea is where I have the most issue. This house is smaller and cramped with all of my things. Now how do I sort through all of this time and life I have accumulated and manage to still have the things I need and want? It isn't easy I assure you.
To top everything off, I blew out my knees while trying to help move. I can barely walk at all and on top of that, I am walking around a mess. I have Osteoarthritis and I am a big girl so that does not make good knees. I am supposed to be resting but how do you get anything done like that? I could be knitting or crocheting, but I hurt too much to do that. I heard a collective sigh from my crafty friends. Yep you know I am bad off when I do not want to craft. ARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!! LOL Ok so today I started a load of laundry and folded some towels and unloaded some dishes from the washer. I put the things away that I could reach and the rest will have to wait.
Now, I will finish up this post and go rest the knees and knit. I am still working on the shawl and I need to be crocheting squares for my partner.
Maybe I can do that while I rest here in a bit. I can get started anyway huh?
What else is on my mind today? Nothing. Sad huh? Nope it is a good thing to be sans stress!
Be well & I will check in again after my doctor's visit on Monday. Until then, I will be laying low and crocheting away.
Best wishes & thanks for the prayers.
