Weekends



My weekend contained:

-a visit to the local library
-mailing this sweater, yep got the address from my husband this week!
-watching two star trek episodes with my favorite trekkie.  (He knows every episode and he gives a pretty good synopsis of each-quite humorous!)
-getting ready for next weekend's festivities
-the possibility of decreasing my medicines for my rheumatoid arthritis (dr. approved)
-facing unwanted symptoms after only ONE day of decreasing meds......SIGH.
-eating CHOCOLATE (can anyone eat too much?)
-oh and the evil donuts.....
-chatting with both kids and enjoying their slice of life where they are
-sleeping really really good last night!  That hardly ever happens :)


How was your weekend?

    Such a full weekend - and never complete without chocolate. :)
    Sorry to hear about the side effects of decreasing your medication. Glad to hear you caught a good night's sleep. I'm living vicariously through others on that front these days. ;)

    Karen, I didn't know you were an RA suffer. I am sorry the decrease in meds didn't work....eat more chocolate and donuts! :)
    My mother always watched Star Trek[ the original series] when we were growing up, my fav episode is the The Trouble with Trebels.
    I am glad to hear you had a good night sleep, what did you do? I really don't think I remember what that's like!

    Glad you got a good sleep -- doesn't that help a lot?

    You can never eat enough chocolate, IMO. Maybe it'll help with those symptoms.

    so sorry about the decrease in meds not working out.....the blessing is that the meds actually are working, though!

    love the little sweater...so cute!
    must look for the local viewing of the star trek...hubby can talk along with the characters on several episodes. We're fans, too!!!

    No, I don't believe there is such a thing as "too much" chocolate. The dark chocolate with pieces of crystallized ginger from Chocolove is my absolute favorite. :)

    Chocolate and doughnuts can never be evil! ;)

    Sorry to hear your medication reduction had unsavory side effects.. perhaps it is just a temporary setback?

Knitting News

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
