Monday ramblings

Today started later than planned due to miscommunication between hubby and I. But from then on we did better. Lunch, library, a little work for me,then home. We watched guardians of the galaxy while I finished the body of the shawl. Then we headed out into the blowing snow for pizza. Back home for dessert followed by a bubble bath for me. My 2nd since unwrapping my knee on Saturday. It has been so nice to bend it.

Last pair of socks for 2014

Just off the needles tonight. I don't know if they will be a late Christmas gift for this year or one for next Christmas.

Monday before Christmas

Found me at the wound clinic before coffee. I am so close to being healed. Hopefully by next week it will be closed. Once home, I took a nap to recover. Then I knitted a gift card cardigan.

Extra projects

Knitting on some more boot cuffs, per request for Christmas for a friend.

Back at the office

Today is the last week of work for 2014, so I was thrilled to be able to go back into the office. While I still can drive and have to rely on rides from my family and friends, I am doing much better.

Time to heal

Time to heal means a lot of time sitting in a comfy chair with my feet up and my knitting, if Fergie isn't in my lap demanding pets. Fergie has become my therapist, making sure I don't over do it. It will be hard to go back to work on Monday, but as I am healing and need to be in the office this next week as it will be the last week of work this month. I love that I work for a place that closes for Christmas.

More time in er

This evening found us back at the ER as there was concern regarding my knee. So while waiting to be seen I cast on these socks. On the up side, thew morning antibiotics were done tonight so I don't have to be back to the ER until 3 pm tomorrow (Tuesday). So I can sleep in!

Shopping

I am not a big shopper but I thought I would participate this time the Tuesday topic 

1. Snider Bros Meat - it is a local butcher shop where I get meat for dinner several times a week as they are good and they are right by my work.
2.  The Store - a local grocery shop also right by my office so I usually buy something for lunch or a snack.
3. Blazing Needles - my local yarn shop, I seem to visit this one more often in the last year with my friends that have started knitting.
4. Unraveled Sheep - other local yarn shop that I love to shop at
5. Tea Zaanti - my favorite tea shop that open up by Blazing needles. The photo is from a visit there this fall.
6. Calling all Dogs - it is a wonderful pet food/pet toy store near my work
7. Wool Cabin - another local yarn store
8. otherwise my hubby is the shopper or I find it online.

Paper Tags

At work and At home, paper tags was the name of the game

Since the snow on Saturday

I have finished two more pairs of socks for Texas and only have one left.

It was extremely cold yesterday and although I knew I wouldn't be cold as I have enough lovely handknits to keep me warm, I just wasn't ready for the extreme cold. Luckily today is a lot warmer.

First snow

Today we woke up to snow and worship band rehearsal being moved to tomorrow am due to illness. I guess I will have to stay in bed, drinking hot tea , watch something on Netflix and knit.

Friday unscripted

When you deal with the gluten free world, you have to test things out. Currently it is pumpkin pie for thanksgiving. Photo by Amy J.

Wednesday

Today was a great day. Amy J and Emily stopped by work to help with a computer issue and they brought gluten free pizza. What a great treat. 

 

After work found us keeping warm over at their house as ours warmed up as today's temperature didn't get over 37℉. We enjoyed dinner and I got a little knitting done. Back home a hot cup of tea and a bubble bath ended the day. A little snow is expected tomorrow with a high 41℉.

Fragments of Friday

Today I realized I was several days behind on my blog. But I am staying on task with my Christmas bed socks. Two pairs completed and one sock of the third pair. 

Amy J had a little fender bender in Emily's car this evening so the night is off schedule but after a bubble bath and a wood chuck I will cast on the next sock.

Sunshine lover

Nobody in our house loves the sun like our 13 year old car Fergie. She will do anything to get to this spot everyday in our bedroom.  We don't let the cats in the bedroom while we are sleeping, so they have to wait until we are up and the bed is made.  Both cats believe we control the sun and if it is a rainy or snowy day we should be able to bring the sun for them.  If we don't we hear about it. They will follow us around the house and will "talk/complain" about it.

Maniac Monday

Well the cooler days have come, which brings me joy.  I took the morning to indulge in hot tea, warm bubble bath and knitting time.  A morning walk would have done well also but after an emotional draining weekend having a no hurry morning is just what was needed. I finished my required knitting last night and started on extra knitting today.

 I have some goals both knitting and personal ones for November, so let the fun begin!

Sleepy Sunday

Well it is Sunday evening and with the time change already dark. But I am loving it as it was a rainy cold day, perfect for napping.  I sitting down to finish the last of my required knitting for Christmas, everything after this pair of bedsocks will be extra. 

Not many pictures taken this weekend but that is okay. Maybe I will try my hand at the NaBloPoMo 2014, this month. The picture was this morning at band practice before service.  Boy that coffee was good.
