I had to see my PCP early this month, some respiratory issue which turned out to be pneumonia. I've been feeling better just lately, still on meds but not so much coughing. I lost my voice, which hasn't come back yet. Thankfully, the Plaidman picked up his hearing aids about 10 days ago, so he does hear my pitiful croak. And we can turn down the volume on the TV!!
When I was in high school here in Nashville, my sister had a baby and gave him up for adoption. I've just recently been contacted by his family. I will likely set up a meeting, someplace public and well away from home. I guess you can tell I'm of two minds about seeing this person.
I finished the two "chemo"caps I was making in Knit Picks cotton/Modal blend (the name of it escapes me just now). It is nice stuff, very smooth and soft, not at all stiff like 100% cotton can be. Sadly, no pics before I carried them to the oncologists' office for their collection crate. After those were done, I started on Hermione 💘s Ron, a beanie in wool, with cables & lace. I think my gauge is a bit tighter than the designer's, this beanie just barely fits on my head. Erm, spoiler alert: I've finished the cap. Anyway, I immediately started another, upsizing the needles and deciding that the two set-up rows don't count as the first two rows of the lace pattern. So we shall see if my tight knitting can be offset by the larger needles. I am using some of my nicer fingering weight yarns for these wool caps, as I intend to wear them. I don't have a problem with wearing wool.
Starting this past Thursday (it's now 11 p.m. Sunday) I have been asking the Plaid Patrol for 2 chores that needed doing. Our junior member has been thinking that we'd get out to the movie theater sometime this weekend, but only one of the chores got done. So no movie yet! We may go during the day tomorrow, but as wool is my witness we will get the other chore done too! We have a magnet on the fridge that says, Don't fool yourself: Mom is watching.
Right now, Mom is actually nodding....time to hit the sack!
