A Little Yarn On The Side

Yep--the cold and I are still together.  I'm thinking a new bottle of Nyquil for our one-month anniversary later this week. Last weekend we planted the obscene number of bulbs I ordered months ago when the threat of having to plant them was MONTHS away and meant nothing at all.  Next spring I am just going to turn my credit card over to Andy for safe keeping.  Our yard had better be beautiful come spring, and for hopefully a bit longer than a week or two. Last weekend we also saw the touring production of The Lion King.  I took a lot of drugs to make it through, but it was great.  If you haven't seen what they did with the Broadway show, this is the opening from the 2008 Tony Awards (the show's 20th year): After such a busy weekend last weekend, the cold was a bit worse this week and I ended up working from home quite a bit, and have spent this weekend resting with the vaporizer and the kitties, and knitting when the youngsters were sleeping, exc...

First, there was the good weekend, with lots of time for kitties and sewing, finishing a new pair of flannel pajamas, and some quilting with Valentino's help.  He's discovered laps lately, and I think it's as much for the petting as the being in the way of everything--or at least close.  Luckily, there's also a good napping chair. Then the bad weekend--SICK AGAIN!  Thursday I had such a bad sore throat that it woke me up, and I spent the day at home gargling saltwater and sleeping to try to make it to some appointments on Friday, but ended up having to cancel.  I was so miserable that I just took Nyquil every 6 hours to either sleep through it or rest enough to get rid of the darn thing.  I didn't even knit until Sunday.  I know!!!!!!  Andy was QUITE concerned, as you can imagine.  The cats loved it.
