Hello Friends,
I’ve not read the check-in, yet. Will work on that later.
Yesterday it snowed all day, tiny fine bits of snow, some of you are experiencing that today too likely. Snow not expected here until next Sunday or Monday.
Today is 30F, hazy in morning, gradually brightening to dun this afternoon. Very tired of the haze.
Yesterday, I was a bit snuffly— today I’m certain, that I’ve caught a cold from one of my children. Congestion & sneezy; hopefully I’ve got enough stored tissue boxes. Hopefully I can fight off the cold w/o needing to go to ER.
Yesterday I worked a purl row on my ribbed shawl so I can knit today in decrease—hasn't happened yet. I’m determined to do it by day’s end tho.
Got a appt with plastic surgeon to discuss 2nd phase breast reconstruction—DID luck out with getting it day after the other appts, so can get them all done in one trip. More to come on that later in cancer update thread.
Dd9’s teacher called, then emailed, to say dd was feeling ill at school. Took me 2 hours before I saw that message, but I did get her home. Ds15 drove me-he is home with headaches & a cold too.
Sun was out when we got home, so after settling dd9, I went for a walk—about 6 blocks, which is 2-3 blocks further than usual but the air felt lovely.
Felt exhausted when I got home, fell asleep in recliner & woke to ds15’s pups licking my toes, and dd9 & ds15 giggling—guess I was making weird faces in my sleep.
A friend is bringing dinner tonight. Rinty, both she & her dh are Ministerers for our family. Since I was added to her list in early Dec, they have consistently brought 2-4 meals per each of my Chemo Infusions (and when I had pneumonia)—I am awed & humbled by her continual insistence on doing this, as she surpasses what the RS President now feels is necessary.
Dd9 asked that we watch “Big families cooking together,” that we saw on Netflix. I thought it would be Southern, but it is British. I need to re-watch the first episode as I’ve slept through it today. Very interesting. I’m learning lots from these cooking shows.
I need to have one of teenagers help help me get into my heavy yarn totes; have been tracking temps for a temperature blanket, and am now feeling good enough to start it, but I need to see what colors I have. I think black for edging.
Have a package to open, have felt so tired & ill that haven't wanted to do it yet. This from a former neighbor who now lives two states away in Washington.
