What a week...

Well I did not get everything accomplished that I had hoped this week. I did get my parents room somewhat cleaned out for them but there is still a few more things to move out of there, Like a big TV box. I got the symptoms of a cold Tuesday night along with my pinched nerve aching again. The cold stayed with me all week in fact I still am clogged and sneezing. It is kind of like one hour blowing my nose like crazy the next stuffed up and can't breath. Taking medicines for both and nothing is working. It slowed me down considerably.

Back to work tomorrow and not looking forward to it. I still don't feel good and my pinched nerve is still bothering me. In order to stay home I would have to go to the Dr.s and get a note. No way am I paying a co payment for them to tell me what I all ready know. I hate this new rule about no paid sick days before or after a holiday or vacation. It's aggravating that people that abused the system have made it hard for the rest of us.

I got absolutely no where this week in my knitting. I again am starting the afghan over. My vest did not have a mistake after all so that is the good news. I ahve not had a good knitting week due t omy cold and I got NO WHERE ON IT!

Well there is always next week when I am tired from working and can knit mistakes due to sleeping instead of not feeling well.

The weather this weekend has been Summer like. High 80's. and sunny. Not that I want ot complain but it got too hot too fast. I like Spring and in the 70's for a while and gradually work my way up to the 80's and then 90's. It is suppose to cool down a little bit this week back into the 60's. Where are the 70's?

A week from work

Well it's been a pleasure not going to work this week. I don't miss work at all, just my friends there.

It hasn't been a busy week, actually it has been very relaxing. Other than the dentist appointment but that only took 15 minutes. I have gone to breakfast and lunch and dinner with friends and family. Today am trying anew restaurant that just opened up a month ago. I am meeting 2 of my SIL. I am bringing some knitting that needs to be fixed as one of them has been knitting for a really long time and helps me out a lot with mistakes.

I tried fixing my own mistake this time. On my afghan for the new trailer. It was a row of YO. K2tog, and PSSO. I was fine figuring out how to pick up all of the stitiches except the PSSO and now I am short 4 stitches. UGH!! I am also bringing the vest. That is still giving me problems.

Vacation time

YAHOO! It's vacation week. Not much planned but still to be away from work will be great!

I am have few lunch dates and only one DR. appointment. The dentist! YUCK! I am hoping to pop in and see my old bowling group. I miss bowling so much but work got in the way.

Not much to say but just chceking to see if my time is right now.

Easter Sunday

Had a wonderful Easter. Started in the morning with Kelly meeting us for church. It had been a while since she had joined us. Since she moved she does not come with us as often and I realized today how much I miss her being there with us.

We went to dinner with my aunt, uncle and cousin to a local restaurant. We had a delicious ham dinner with all of the fixings. We had entertainment by the chef, He was a lot of fun. We ended by having dessert at my aunts house. I talked to my parents on the phone a house full down there. I like knowing that they are not celebrating the holidays alone.

Saturday I went out and bought some yarn that hopefully will match my camper in Maine to make an afghan for one of the sofa's. I was thinking of trying to match the lavender that is throughout the camper but we found a green that matched matches ( I hope) the leaf pattern in the sofa. I am excited to get started on that project.

Knitting class starts up again for 10 weeks on the 13th of April. I love going to the class and knowing that it is my time set aside for knitting each week.

Darn it

I mailed off my mother's tote bag with out taking a photograph of it. UGH!! I guess I will have to make another one down the road! I was so excited to have finished it and get it off to her that it was all boxed up and taped when I remembered the picture.

I have put the vest aside. I am apparently doing something wrong because I keep ending up on the reverse side of the vest. I need someone to sit by me and watch to see where I am going wrong. I will start a new project and give that one a rest until I get help. I have so many things lined up to do I will never have nothing to knit.

I found a bag upstairs filled with yarn a friend gave me a while ago. There are needles and a started project from her. In the bag was also a couple of books. One is afghans for knitting the other is a learn to Crochet book. Don't worry for now I have my hands full with trying to learn all there is about knitting.

Finished 2 projects

The tote bag for my mother is finally done. It is all put together and felted. I plan on sending it to her this week. I also finished a dish cloth with the design of a light house in it. It was suppose to be a Christmas gift for an aunt and uncle but it gave me such trouble I had to put it down.

The vest is still challenging me. I am twisting it somehow and the stitches are getting reversed. I will keep plugging along on that project.

I need to figure out how to post sosme pictures here of the things I am talking about. I will tackle that soon.
