Nothing Much

So what's everybody been up to?  Let's see, I'm back to work - since I have a desk job - and I've manage to run a four legged marathon....from my office to the bathroom....I have to tell you, the walk to the other side of the building to the only bathroom truly does feel like a marathon and these dang crutches are getting on my nerves!  If you can't tell, I don't do incapacitation very well.  I'm only working six to seven hours, but while I'm at work, I can't take the pain meds because they make me loopy....or, I should say loopier.  I get home, pop a pain pill and in about thirty minutes, I'm out.  Number One Son asked why I was tired....Oh, to be young again.  At least he didn't ask why I'm being such a cranky witch!

I really thought that I'd be knitting or crocheting in my down time, but I really haven't been.  Since I've been working, I'm too tired to do much otherwise.  A little light reading and some TV watching and that's about it. 

Progress has been really slow, but that is a shot of the herringbone poncho I'm working on.  I haven't worked on the sparkly project because I know that I'm going to have to tink two rows and I want to have my wits about me when I do it....foggy brain will only make it worse I'm sure. I worked on the chevron scarf while in the waiting room at the emergency room and the orthopedist, but didn't take a picture because it pretty much looks the same, only longer.  Yawn....see, after all the excitement of the past weekend, everything is pretty quiet.

On the up side, tonight is Biscuit Night!!  Yea!  Can't wait to see my girls.  Lauren is picking me up when she gets off work.  These ladies have been so sweet...every last one of them checking on me.  Just knowing they are there, should I need anything, is so wonderful! In times like these, you do find out who your friends are, but then I was lucky enough to already know :) You blog friends have been so incredibly sweet as well! I truly do appreciate your comments, emails and well wishes.  Thanks for checking up on me!

  7. I just got up to date with your blog and what happens when I take my eyes off you for a couple of days????!!!!!! You go and break bones in your foot.....what am I going to do with you :) Sending lots of love to you and your poor little foot, I hope you mend quickly. I can't even imagine what it must be like and I hope to never experience it.
    Hope you got spoilt at Biscuit night.

  8. Melissa,
    I spent the day with a friend on crutches yesterday... I'll be blogging about it today. My heart goes out to you! I don't think anyone deserves crutches. Get better!

  9. The nice thing about the crutches is that you can use them as a weapon should anybody give you any crap! (Tell that to all your guys at home!) Again, please let me know if I can do anything!

  10. Oh those boys of yours! Why are you tired?? Watching tv and light reading sounds perfect. The knitting can wait. I do like that herringbone. I have a soft spot for herringbone.

  11. Just think of all that upper arm exercise you're getting crutching around---people pay big bucks to personal trainers for that!! (sometimes you have to really really look hard for the silver linings!!!) hang in there. it gets better.

    love the herringbone pattern--don't think i've ever done one of those!!!
