30 Days of Creativity in September (Days 7 & 17)

This scarf is giving me fits! I started it just fine on Labor Day then I tried to knit & purl the first black rows. Apparently, I've forgotten how to purl. Again. (sigh) So I pulled that mess out and tried to just knit the first black rows and messed that up. Pulled them out & tried again. Did alright and put it down. Tonight I discovered I'd dropped a stitch and had to add one back in, so I pulled some rows out to do that. I haven't knit anything since March or April but I've gone for stretches of the same before and haven't had this much trouble starting again! But I'll keep at it off & on until it's done.

Knit and purl are code words for tangle and knot. I'm convinced of this because every time I pick up knitting needles that's what I get.

It looks like, for some reason, you are getting a different outcome...

Yep--now I remember why I never took up knitting!

LOL Teri! After more work than when I first taught myself to knit I'm getting a different outcome.

Lisa, I love it and have no idea why I've had so much trouble this go around.

Jo,
My deary thank you for visiting my blog! Your comment is precious to me.
I have been at your blog for the past ten minutes reading your stories.. !
First I would like to say, you are an Angel in disguise. Perhaps you don't even like that thought, but TRUE.. God Keep YOU here for a reason.. and I have cried sitting here reading that horrendous story about Sept. 11.
I can't even imagine .. I just can't imagine how you feel.
I can only say these words.. OMG.. and Thank you LORD..
YOU are a blessing to us.. and your writing skills are wonderful.
Keep up the creative work.
I also sorry about your past losses. I have lost a brother on the street cold kill, to have his leather jacket taken from him.
OMG.. He was my older brother and the pain remains as I keep really wondering where he is.. I see his smiles, hear his music and listen to his laughs in my mind..
Sorry for rambling...
You are a special woman.. sigh*
Hugs, Darlene xo

A Walk Through The (Dis)Enchanted Forrest (Halloween Party Post)

Welcome & thank you for visiting my post! For more Halloween fun today & throughout the weekend, visit A Fanciful Twist . For more Halloween & Autumn Fun, check out my "Autumn Tuesday" & "Halloween Thursday" posts by clicking on their labels in the left hand column. ~Happy Halloween & Pumpkin Blessings! *Update for those friends wondering, I put this together prior to surgery yesterday to make sure I would be able to post it for today! (Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun...

Not Exactly Music To My Ears and Acceptance

Went to my 'every 6 weeks' follow-up doctor's appointment with my Rheumologist yesterday morning. Apparently my heart palpitations/racing (not often, though enough to be noticeable), vision issues (blurriness and discomfort) and muscle cramps (too often & not dehydration) are "disease progression." Not exactly music to my ears I can tell you that much. We discussed my pain & swelling levels (back on the rise through the last 2 iv treatments) and agreed that my iv med should be increased from 400mg every 8 weeks to 500mg every 8 weeks. (This brings me closer to the area of 800mg, which Dr. A feels would be the max dose for me, and the fact that I'm getting closer to that mark scares me). One good thing to note, my blood pressure was "normal" for (at least) the 3rd follow-up in row and without meds, so at least that's one less thing for me to worry about (though it's like a needle in a hay stack really). I'm always on the verge ...
