The day after

Yesterday was my birthday.  I can't believe I feel this old.  It's not possible.....but, yeah, it is.  It was an ordinary day.....I got some "Happy Birthday"s at work and a phone call from the grandkids.  Now that was special.

I came home from work today because of....well....it's an awkward subject here, but certainly not at work.  Let's just say I probably have a gut virus.  I was worried about getting home on the Max....but I made it.  Napped a short time. 

I'm designing a new pattern for Kim who is retiring soon.  I need to go play around with it and see if I need to make any changes.  I'm also doing the Mystery Sock on Ravelry.  I find I can easily knit it on the Max so I'm saving it for that.  The next clue doesn't come out until 9PM Sunday anyway.  I have plenty of time to finish clue 3. 

One and a half years

It has been about 1½ years since I've felt "well" or not sick.   There were days I just wanted it all to end.  But the last 3 weeks have been awesome.  I have enery back.....not a ton of it, but enough to have some left in the evenings.  My pain has dropped from a 5-6 out of 10 level to about 3-4.  It's incredible to me since I thought things would never change. 

I finally posted the pattern I designed, Curvalicious, on Ravelry.  I am totally amazed at the people who have queued it or who love it.  When I figure out how to link the pattern here, I will post it. 

My birthday is tomorrow.  I can't believe I'm going to be 61!  It's mind-boggling to me since I don't feel anywhere near that.  I think I'm really in my mid-twenties.  Most of my closest friends are in their 30's and 40's.  It's probably because I definitely don't act my age.
