Catch Up

An inversion has moved into the valley. We've been five days of grey skies. No sun, no moon, just unrelenting grey. It's no wonder why I get depressed this time of year.

I have been knitting. In fact I've got my choice of four five projects to choose from. Two blankets: one sock yarn and one cotton. Grilltech's second sock. A sock yarn Ice Queen cowl for Perky. Or my own shawl Morticia. I haven't touched Morticia in over a year, so I should do something with it soon. It seems for whatever reason, I have a hard time completing stuff for me.

We are the plague house. Grilltech has a cold. Kommadant has kidney stones that he's going to have removed on Friday. Plus he has an infected bug bite that he's reacting to the medication. He's not having a fun time. On Friday, I'm going in to have a crown replaced, because I've got cash on the medical cards that we've got to use or lose.

Plan D

A couple of months ago, I picked up an Apple Watch. I gotta say, I really like it. One of the first things I did was order a face shield for it because you know: scratches and dings.

When I got the cover, it had a bunch of air bubbles. I thought it was pretty shotty, but slapped it on the watch anyway because it's better than nothing. I've been using it for several months and never had a problem.

Last night I popped the cover off, because there was water under it. Grilltech asked about the face plate. I handed it over to him, with the comment of how crappy it was. He gave me a look, peeled off the plastic from the underside and handed it back.

The shield is clear now. And I feel like an idiot.

It's Made of Warm

On Sunday, we put the electric blanket on the bed. It has been chilly at night and I'm all about the warmth.

Anyway Uggy - the Ancient One - loves the electric blanket, almost as much as she loves good food. The animals get good food, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday's. Usually what happens is all the animals start hanging out in the living room about 1700 (5 PM). Uggy will be pretty close to me - reminding me it's good food night, if not on me until 1900 (7 PM) when I feed them. Last night, I got home and turned the bed on. I didn't see Uggy all night until I got the food dishes out at 1730 (730 PM). She sauntered out and decided I could feed her.

Lucky me.

Wash clothes that I made. Cotton is slightly better to knit in the summer


A large pile of socks that are going away. Some have felted horribly. Some have holes in them, that I don't feel like darning. Most of them are Grilltech's because he's really hard on socks.
