Swamped


So swamped lately while the boss' wife is in the ICU. I have kept busy catching all the little friendly viruses that cross my path at work (tonight it's a GI bug with fever), I had a colonoscopy, broke a tooth, bought a spinning wheel, and generally have had all my creativity sapped by actually knitting in my limited time. DD is back from Marines training, and short of a car, so we are taking turns getting her to work, lending her a car, etc, until she can get back on her feet financially. I have been trying to book our 25th wedding anniversary trip (Maui), doling out bucks to DS, and trying to keep up with the housework. To top this off, I joined a granny swap before I knew this month was going to be so crazy, and I have a little over 10 days left to make something for my recipient and buy swap goodies to mail out! Yikes, pressure ;o)

So sorry, readers....I'll try to be back soon, but it looks like it'll be at least another week before life gets back to normal again and I can post anything. Probably April.

I must post a pic of my spinning wheel though, so proud to be an owner (at the expense of my budget this month).
All folded up between some pieces of furniture...
Slightly dis-assembled, but my pride and "joy", heh....

Ah'll be back
