I have actually been knitting quite a bit lately - and even finishing some stuff! It turns out that my inability to stay awake once the kids were asleep, and therefore my inability to knit more than one or two rows of a very simple projects, was due to a sinus infection. Mind you I ignored the exhaustion and sinus pressure for two weeks thinking that I was just a little run down, that it was the weather, it was because I was cold so often (much to catch up on, but the propane truck couldn't make it to the house, the tank was almost empty so the temp in the house stayed loooow), any number of excuses. F got sick so I took her to the doctor and made a tag along appointment. Turned out she had the cold, I had the sinus infection that held on through two rounds of antibiotic. Next time I can't keep my eyes open despite a pm cuppa several days in a row, and my face feels like it's too full of wool, I will get my tuchas to the doctor!
So, now about the fun stuff! I have finished (and this is from memory so I hope I don't forget anything) 2 neckwarmers (one I whipped up off the top of my head), a Stolen Moments Shawl (although I guess my gauge was off so it's a bit small, more like a Stolen Moments large-but-not-too-long scarf), a Calorimetry (I'll check the spelling later) and something else, but I need to look around the house and check Ravelry because I can't remember now.
I will take pictures and post them with links. I will, and soon, because I now am taking 2 days off from the store a week. I was really going nuts, nothing was getting accomplished at home or work, it was just too much. This is the second week with my double days off (last week I still felt like a lump from the SI so I didn't get much done) so I am really trying to catch up on things and get somewhat organized and a routine going so I can get back to doing things I like - like blogging and finishing knitting project, cooking food for the family that requires more than boiling water/turning on the oven and opening a box. I love the convenience of open and heat meals, especially now that I can find healthy ones, but when it's every night it gets kind of old.
Well, the day must start! I got F off to school already and I am going to go swimming after dropping off M, so I have to get organized. I can use the Vassar swimming pool as an alum, and I an determined to take advantage of the opportunity! Also, I get to hang out with some of my favorite people when I am there, so what could be bad?
Added after saving: Just remembered about the title - because of all the knitting and some dry skin I have a cut on my thumb and I have found it difficult to cast on with a band-aid. I was going to go somewhere with that when I started writing but I got distracted. I think that's a good thing. I guess I should put the title in once I'm done. Just a thought.
