Add-on

I am better but I think there's still reason enough to go in tomorrow and take my old labwork to see if any of this is linked. I read pancreatitis with wariness just now......we'll see. I have survived and everything is. That's all. Everything is.

Still Leaking

I am still sick. I am supposed to try the witch doctor remedies until tomorrow when I go to the Saturday clinic. I can imagine how that goes. Ugh.
Haven't knitted. I may forget how!!!

Sick AGAIN

WTF!?!?!? I am sick again, same old diarrhea and puking. I slept almost nonstop from about 4 yesterday until 10 today, if you can call rolling around trying to get cool or warm up sleeping. I have begun to fear it's the well water up in MO. I don't know but it's going to kill me. I hope I can survive. I can't keep anything down. Or in. I am going to have to send Bug on errands and that's never good. I haven't picked up my knitting since Tuesday! Scandal!

Wednesday Whining

I hate waking up and feeling bad. I am going back to bed and get some real sleep as I tossed and turned all night long. I have a lot of gut pain and quease going on. WHY? WHY? I don't know but I suppose it might have to do with a lot of fruit, cantaloupe and cherries, peaches and plums. I might have to just go back to bed.

Not Ready

I have some serious crap to do today and I don't really want to put on clothes but I suppose I will. And the scarf I'm having trouble with is remaining that. A pain in the ass. I am now going to try a rib and cable stitch that I saw online and looks easy, what I tried to do with cables before I knew what I was doing.
Working on the thumb of pink mitten #1. You just have to take it a step at a time. This is just how I learn anything, on my own from TV.

Ready!

I am waddling around thinking about what preparations need to be made for me to make it to work. ALL of them...eeew.
I made a little hot pink hat, covered in cables with a rib stitch brim, and a pom pom on top for a girl at work who's got a new grandbaby. Trying..trying..to make mittens. I feel it's not so much as I'm stupid as I haven't stumbled across the right pattern. I think I can fake several together.
I am enjoying the double pointed needles, though. The problem is I'm no good at knowing what size my unmarked needles are and if I can make a proper gauge swatch. Ugh. One thing at a time. Not long ago I looked at stitch markers, double pointed needles and cables as out of my realm of capability. Now, easy breezy.

The Megrims

I don't know where I heard the term "summer megrims" but for years I've used to for describing sick in July. My summer megrims have involved my stomach going batshit on me, though 'megrim' is actually a migraine. I may have heard that from my mom. Her mother was born in 1896 so Victoria was still alive and well in those days.
I am up early, having destroyed my latest attempt at Justin's scarf..I mean, DAMN I just can't get it right. I am trying some different things. a garter stitch border and stockinet field, with some random squares going along. Then I'm hoping to incorporate some cables, a narrow one, or series of them. Jeez I am really trying hard. I hope I stumble across something I can live with.
I think we're going to Poteau today so I can knit in the car. Sad!
Sometimes I feel like I'm extra stupid and sloppy, but I'm doing better than I was six months ago. It's already so much easier- my ability to fix small mistakes has grown, and now I can look at the fabric and know whether to knit or purl. See? I'm an idiot. I think I would have benefitted from someone who knits being around.
Isn't it odd that crochet hooks are mandatory in knitting- and yet crochet never needs a knitting needle. (Shaking head slowly) Hm.
I need to get busy, though there is a cat on my lap- one named Thelma Lou, and she is being nice for once.
