Friday FO

I’ve been busy trying to get a special pair of socks done.  I’ve made these for a former patient, friend, and knitter.  I can’t tell you much, due to HIPPA, but what I can tell you is that she, like me, is always knitting for others and never enough for herself.  She’s been through a [...]

Friday Fun!

Ah, Friday.  Only FOUR DAYS (and a wake up) until I get to head to NY!
Friday Fill In #135
1. It’s time for vacation (well, almost).
2. New York State; it’s not a bad place for learning to knit, making life long friends, and finding yourself.
3. I must be going crazy (not again! LOL)
4. Learning [...]

Under Pressure

Oy!  The pressure of the world in times such as these.  The economy is in the toilet (it appears to be getting worse), people are losing their jobs … it’s just depressing.  I know that, where I work, they have laid off managers and nurses (yes, nurses.  I never thought I would see the day.)  [...]

Manic Monday

Today starts a shifting of hours at work.  We are all trying out a new schedule; 6p-6a instead of 7p-7a.  I hope it works, because it will give day shift (on our unit) more time to get settled.  Today is also the start of cutting all CNA hours by two hours a pay period, so [...]

Look Ma, An FO!

Actually, that would be TWO finished objects!
I’ve been a little stressed out lately, and work has been above and beyond chaotic.  So finding time to knit has been almost nill.  I just keep telling myself … NINE MORE DAYS and I’ll be in New York, heading to W.O.O.L later that week.  I need a long [...]

TGIF!

I’m hoping for a good, relaxing weekend.  Sewing, knitting, and hanging out with The Hubby!  [...]

Manic Monday

I have never been so happy to be home in my life!  Last night was horrible at work; insanely busy and I know I didn’t get everything done (which really bothers me, but it is what it is.)  I’m on the back porch have a beer and unwinding before bed.  I earned it.  The only [...]

Friday Fill-In

I am very pleased that the week is over.  This was the week from hell, for me, physically.  Stomach flu aggravated my IBS … a trip to the ER for TWO giant bags of IV fluids.

1. Mac and Cheese and cooked hamburger make a quick and easy dinner.
2. Founding Mothers and Definitely Dead [...]

Never Goodbye

There is a line in one of my favorite movies, John Q, where Denzel’s character tells his son, “It’s never goodbye; always, see you later.” This was very true in my mind this past weekend on Saturday, as John and I loaded up the futon and moved it to Wilkes-Barre, PA, where our dear friend, [...]

Friday Fill-In

I know it seems that all I do is blog these Manic Mondays and Friday Fill-Ins.  Hopefully I will get the button on my sweater this weekend and have a great post about that soon!
Friday Fill-In #132
1. The last thing I ate was a piece of chocolate and some Sprite.
2. Groceries are something [...]
