I was in the area and thought.....

I would drop in.  There's really not much to say.  I've had several bad, bad days in which I had to leave work early and then I've had a few great days.  I wish I knew what causes the bad days......but in all my years, I can't figure it out.  That's the nature of fibro.

I did a lot of knitting and actually knit a sock I called "Rememberin Amy".  The colorway of the yarn is called Amy and it's very bold in pink, red and yellow.  It was a fun, fast knit using slip stitches.  I also knit a sock for SKA called "Grace Note".  The pictures for the pattern were lousy and I almost passed it up.  I'm glad I didn't.  It's gorgeous, enough so that others now want to knit it.  Too bad it doesn't fit me.  I need to find someone with bigger feet and give them a gift.  Who is worthy of my knitting?

This is Susan's cat Josie with my Amy sock.  She had peach and gray long hair and can be very obnoxious!

 And this is Grace Note in Pumpkin.

I am becoming

my fibromyalgia.  I absolutely hate even the thought of it.  But it is starting......well, it has been ruling my life.  The fatigue is the worst.  I had big hopes for getting things done on this holiday (President's Day).  I didn't wake up until 11:30AM and I'm very fatigued today.  I've done nothing today except to knit and talk to Susan on the phone.  How do I change what I am when what I am cannot be changed? 

Busy

I've been busy lately!  That's so unlike me.  I'm usually in a vegetative state.  I did lots of things 2 week-ends ago.....the last week-end in January, I think.  I had knitting group.  I adore going there.  I went to Border's afterward and bought a couple of books and a magazine....knitting, of course.  Then I went to church.  I love church......I wish I could be at Mountain View Christian Church every week-end.  But I do love Vernonia Christian Church, too.  They are polar opposites according to me.  One is small and old-fashioned and the other is very big and always on the move.  I love them both for different reasons. 

I'm slowly feeling a bit better.  It's slow, but I have noticed the difference, especially by Fridays.  On Saturday, Susan, Hennessy and I went to Costco....I was worn out after that.  We ate lunch at Sonic and then went to the grocery store.  I drove home, but it's so different than driving by yourself at night.  Having someone to talk with made the drive so much easier.  I napped for 1½ hours when we got home.  Susan and I scrubbed her bathroom from top to bottom.  And I wasn't even sore the next day.

Susan and Dan had a Super Bowl Party.  There were twice as many children as adults.....maybe even more since Brendyn had a couple of friends over, too.  I got to hold 2 3½ month old babies.....they are so adorable.  I loved their laughs. 

I did fine at work today.  I had a good afternoon in STD clinic.  What a difference it makes to not get slides to read and urines to dip.  All I really did was keep the paperwork straight and pour off the GC/CT urines into their containers.  I even had time to spend on Ravelry....not much, but more than I have in the last month.
