Still plugging along. I did more stitching than knitting this week. I got the caboose almost done.
I thought I'd have a chance getting it done before Christmas, but there's the little matter of doing the back stitching, ordering a frame, framing it, etc. I don't have time. So this will be a birthday present instead.
It took 4 days, but I finally got past a certain dark green stripe (the top one). I don't know what was going on but I could not get past it without making multiple mistakes. I think it was just all the stress going on in my life.
Our home insurance was cancelled. The insurance company dropped everyone in our area because they say the fire danger has become too high (Thank you climate change!). It should not be legal to do that. We've been good customers for a long time with not one claim made.
Then we got an overdue notice on a bill. A large bill. I could have sworn I paid it. Husband insisted on getting a Home Depot credit card when we bought the supplies for the new back porch. I hate credit cards. Anyway, he was pretty upset I hadn't paid it, and I was even more upset with myself. I did start working on it by going on the Home Depot website to set up an account and pay it, but I didn't get it done. I think I got interrupted by something and didn't get back to it. Whatever, anyway. I spent an evening trying to get that set up so I could pay the bill. I ended up calling them and paying it that way. Their web site sucks.
I wasn't feeling good last weekend and coughing a lot so I went to the Immediate Care Clinic. I found out I have pneumonia again. It's a mild case, thankfully. I've got some meds that should get rid of it.
And then there was the accident. We're almost done with that one. The Prius has been repaired and we got it back last Friday.
I've also been working on getting ready for the road trip. We're going to Pawtucket, Rhode Island to see our daughter and her wife and spend Thanksgiving with them. It's been a few years since we've seen them. We're taking three weeks and doing a road trip with the Prius. I'm hoping the weather is kind to us. I do not like traveling at this time of year, unless it's on a plane to a cruise ship in the sunny south. I've been overruled. My niece is taking care of our house and cat while we're away. We're taking Zoey with us.
daughter with bicycles on it. She's an avid bicyclist. Recently I found a pattern for mittens with bicycles on them, so I'm gonna make them for her. I am using the same brand of yarn, but I don't have the exact same colors because both have been discontinued. I'm using some that are close. I wonder if daughter still has the hat? I guess I'll find out.
Weather has been wet and in the 40's and low 50's. Occasional sunshine has appeared to dry things out just in time to for the rain to get it wet again. We've had a couple days this past week of real hard downpours making our metal roof rumble.
I don't know if I'll post while I'm away. Haven't decided if I want to take the laptop or not. I will see how much room there is left in the car after we get all the suitcases and whatnot in. In the meantime,
Live long and prosper. \\//
