Hooray! I can shower today! I suppose I could just strip down and step outside, it's raining today. With my luck, I'd get all soapy and the sun would come out! So off to the boring old bathtub instead.
Yesterday's doctor visit brought no new surprises. I'm healing well (itch, itch), everything looks "good," and I am to return in 2 weeks. When I got home I realized that the appointment they gave me conflicts with the first meeting of the new Rogersville Knitting Club that I have been awaiting with anticipation. So, I'll change the appointment, because I'm not going to miss that gala affair!
I know, I'm weird. Bill and I went to town last night for the Car Show/BBQ/Bluegrass Music. It was mildly pleasant, but the best part was that I got to sit in my lawn chair listening to the bands and knit away contentedly on my almost-finished pastel basketweave scarf. I figure I have about 20 more rows to go on that puppy, and then I can start a new project with my fancy-dancy bamboo needles. I find I am becoming increasingly annoyed with the scrape-and-clink of the aluminum needles, and even though I am a beginner, the needles already have nicks and scratches in them, which catch on the yarn, making annoying little "pills" that have to be picked off. I don't know whether this is a result of the needles or the yarn I chose, or a combination of the two. This is why I need a club of knitters! People to tell me what the heck is going on. Also, someone who can decipher pattern instructions that so far look like gibberish to me. Nothing like jumping into a new hobby with absolutely no clue as to what I am doing!
Daughter Juli emailed to tell me she is completely thrilled with her new Cutco knives. She was so taken with the Super Shears, she confiscated them and decreed that no one but her was to touch them on pain of instant banishment! Maybe she's just worried about the boys and sharp objects? There are now 4 of them living in the two-bedroom apartment, Kerne's brother Beorn staying with them and occupying the giant beanbag chair for his "bed." Juli says she likes having Beorn around, because he is a compulsive housekeeper. She leaves a dirty house and comes home to a clean one. Wow. I need a Beorn for my abode! (Don't we all)?
But for today, the only goal is to get clean myself. So I will go do that...

P,
I'm glad you got to get out last night. Saturday, I spent the day with Ashley in VA and coming home, I was caught up in a lot of the traffic at the main event. It is amazing how many people participate in the Car Show. It reminded me that last year at this time, his wife had just had her mastectomy. It's really strange how that year went by - maybe time does heal some things - just hang in there. AND, yes, by all means, CHANGE THAT APPOINTMENT FOR JUNE 6TH AND TELL DR. H WHY - LOL!!!!!!
M ;-)
