Good morning! How are you?

I am blissfully knitting the second sock this week and loving the project. I snapped this photo yesterday and I am now at the heel flap. 

My knitting has slowed down some (again) because I fell on Sunday in the kitchen doing something un-smart and my left arm and wrist has been aching since. Yesterday after dinner I decided to go to urgent care to make sure everything was okay because I had wrist pain. Luckily for me, my wrist was fine but my elbow has a little fracture in it. Luckily for me, I am in a sling and not a cast and I am allowed to knit. I'm supposed to have a follow up with an ortho doctor in two weeks, scheduling can be a challenge though.

What are you working on this week?

    Oh Karen! Yikes! I hope your wrist is feeling better soon... (and that your elbow is as well!) I love that picture of sweet Frodo next to you... thank you so much for sharing!

    Oh, no! Keep knitting, drink your milk, and make your ortho appt. We have an orthopedic group here that has 14 doctors and it's still tough getting an appt. Good luck!

    Gosh, Karen. I hope you can get in to an Ortho soon and heal fast! Your second day sock is moving along nicely. I am always sad once the heel.is done. That is my favorite part of the sock.

    Oh no!! So sorry to hear about your fall, but so glad you did go to urgent care. Hope your elbow heals quickly and hope your wrist feels better. Happily you can still knit (but take it easy). Pretty sock and such a cute picture of Frodo. Heal quickly!!

    OH MYGoodness! I am glad you aren't hurt worse and that you can still knit. I'm still working on my dish towel. Almost done and looking forward to starting a new hat. I have yarn waiting on me to put it to use! LOL! Frodo looks really comfortable... :)

    Ouch! Prayers for your healthy recovery. The 14 year old son of a woman at church fractured his elbow. I just talked to his mom yesterday and he's out of all fall sports and bummed. No surgery, but he did need a cast.

    Oh no, I am sorry to hear about your mishap. I hope your wrist and elbow heel well and soon. You have a good companion there. Take it easy with the knitting. The sock is sure pretty.

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
