the top turret it was a father s day we ll all remember no comments thursday june 19 2008 uh oh two days in to my 18th round of 30 30 and i went to my regular doctor today about my sprained wrist turns out it s a sprained thumb and i m not to use it at all we re looking at probably three more weeks of healing time of course it s my left hand and i m left handed anything grippy writing combing girls long hair cooking knitting and a thousand other things i do daily is painful difficult and not to be attempted luckily i ve always used the computer mouse with my right hand so that s okay typing isn t great but i m thinking i can probably handle a few lines of poetry a day don t tell the doc though housework is out no crying there so is yard work i rarely do that anyway painting masterpiece landscapes it could happen and playing the piano that one really does make me sad the splint is on the ibuprofen is ready and i can t imagine what i m going to do with idle hands for the next three weeks 2 comments sunday june 15 2008 not knitting or rollerblading either whoops no comments wednesday june 11 2008 disappointment disappointment is not an emotion i expected to feel today it s the last day of preschool for kate who moves on to kindergarten next fall while i think the whole graduation from preschool thing is pretty goofy there s no denying that it s a big milestone and i was looking forward to seeing her stand up there with all her friends for one last time singing songs and celebrating the end of her first school experience then there would be cake and cookies and lots of hugs for the teachers who ve been part of her life for two years now i expected to feel proud excited and maybe even a little wistful but we re not having any of that kate has strep throat forget the celebration we ve got a sick little girl stuck on the couch watching cartoons and feeling horrible the truth is she doesn t seem to mind missing graduation much i think to her it s just another weird event for me it s an ending that will never come again the last time i ll have a preschooler and instead of marking the moment with ceremony and photos it s just sort of slipping away so even though i do feel all those swirling emotions when i think about it mostly i feel disappointed 3 comments saturday june 07 2008 groovin i really can t help myself i get such a kick out of knitting up little outfits for the groovy girls this one was entirely improvised from start to finish first i picked the stitch pattern for the skirt and started knitting then i thought about how the dress would fit what type of closure it would have and whether it would have sleeves this bright orange and yellow seemed so summery that i decided to make it a strapless sundress the ribbon lacing was a brainstorm i had just as i finished knitting and i think it worked out really well finally after all the schizophrenic weather we ve had around here this spring sunny and hot one day then grey cold and raining the next i thought maybe a little shrug was called for i m so pleased with the result since it was entirely made up as i went along and i had no idea whether it would actually work or not another groovy outfit has just come off the needles and is only awaiting a velcro fastener before making its debut and no neither of these is the project that i m sick and tired of but it will be appearing here soon i promise 4 comments thursday june 05 2008 i ve had it with lit mags that vanish into thin air and never let anyone know especially submitters with kidney stones with the incessant sound of leaf blowers moving stuff from one place to another without cleaning anything up with the neighborhood cat that keeps trying to catch birds at my feeder with my current knitting project but i ll finish it anyway and then post photos with the rain with phone calls from politicians with this funk i ve been in what are you fed up with 5 comments newer posts older posts home subscribe to posts
