catching up

Benji died over the weekend.  He got Ich which if you look it up about what it is and what it does - it’s AWFUL.  Gross, nasty, horrible.   Ya’ll - it was awful.  there was nothing I could do for him.  By the time I figured it out and got medicine for him, it was [...]

Oh yeh, the knitting stuff….

Mostly frogged.  the shrug for mom was too small (I’d knit about 7 inches on it and put it over her shoulders and it was just to small in the neck), and I messed up my Dashing and just couldn’t live with it.  ::sigh:: 
Hoping to get some actual knitting done this weekend.  that doesn’t need [...]

!!!!!

Some bully hit my son today.  In the stomach.  Now, my child is 5 years old, and not a liar -and he said it was for no reason.  This bully is just mean to all the kids.  I’m so angry I could spit.  Little Man has been at a daycamp this week (they’re out of [...]

Bleh + complaint

I know I’m extremely lucky to have a job.  Much less one that I actually like (most of the time) and where I’m very valued.  and I know that there are people who are worse off than me (MUCH worse and even just worse) but this is my blog and I wanna whine for a [...]

Flotsam kind of day

1st - we lost Enji.    He was kinda laying on his back/side last night when I went to bed, but he was still breathing.  I wasn’t sure what I could do for him, so left him hoping for the best.  This AM he wasn’t breathing anymore.  I flushed him prior to Little Man waking up [...]

Happy VD Day!

(Isn’t that a disease? hee!)
 Little Man is feeling better today - still a little feverish, but hungry and keeping it down so that’s good!  I had to go back to work this AM and work 1/2 the day.  My boss is a great guy, but really can’t stand it when I’m not there.  it’s more [...]

fish update

Oh and! 
 The pleco seems to be fine.  Apparently they are nocturnal creatures and don’t move as much during the day.  so right now - Enji (my kid apparently is creatively challenged about names….) seems to be doing well.  (at night at least - during the day - hibernates.)
Which - LM has said - “next time, [...]

Sick & knitting

Little Man has been sick today.  He woke me up at 2 this AM saying his stomach hurt, but he wasn’t feverish, and you just never know (even though he’s not a liar in general) if they’re telling the truth at this age (and it’s more of a not sure how to say what they [...]

Pphbt.

Sat down to work on mom’s shrug and realized 3 rows later I’d messed it up.  And I’m not good enough yet to be able to take it apart to the point of mess up and start again from there.  So - frogged.  And started again.  and found out that I had a MONSTER tangle [...]

Better than a stress ball….

!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Happy dance happening over here!!  The Estelle Alpaca Cashmere Tweed came in.  And it is SO SOFT.  (I’m sitting here with it on my desk, at work, petting it….) 
I don’t know about making a blanket out of it though.  It’s just too pricy to have enough of it to make a blanket I think.  [...]
